One of the basic principles of Metabolic Typing is that protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals, which are transported by the blood, are best absorbed and utilized by the cells in your body at the ideal blood pH level of 7.46. The second principle of Metabolic Typing is that any nutrient can be acidifying or alkalizing, stimulating or inhibiting, depending on your metabolic type.
Metabolic typing is not just a weight loss program; it is also appropriate for every chronic health disorder. Metabolic typing relies on your unique body metabolism, that’s why you need to know your metabolic type.
Metabolic Type – Why you need to know?
Metabolic type is the most important thing to know in metabolic typing. This determines your specific nutritional requirements. There are three major metabolic types; the protein type, carb type, and the mixed type. It is important for each type to eat their primary food first.
Protein types have strong appetite and they like those fatty and salty foods. Carb types need small amount of protein on their diet because too much protein can make them feel irritable. Mixed types usually have variable appetite and minimal cravings for sweets.
One Man’s Food is Another Man’s Poison
Have you ever asked yourself why other people who try a certain type of diet can be successful in their diet plan while you cannot? They can be slim with a certain diet but you, no matter how hard you try, you cannot achieve your ideal weight and in fact you cannot lose weight.
The main reason here is that every one of us has our own unique metabolism. This means that every one of us has our own way of processing foods and nutrients in our body. One person’s diet may not work with another; for example, your own diet process can make you slim and healthy but it may not work with the other person. Without metabolic typing, there is no other way to know if a food is a medicine or poison for an individual.
