Eating right for your body type- Metabolic Typing
23 April 2008 11:26 pm
Have you ever noticed how some people can wake up and inhale sausages, eggs and bacon for breakfast and feel great, whilst a meal like that would make others feel tired and sleepy? Or when you eat that really healthy salad sandwich for lunch, but an hour later you are tired, sleepy and hungry? The fact is that everyone is different, so understanding and eating according to your metabolic type can have a massive effect on your energy levels and overall health.
Metabolic Typing (MT). What is it? MT is based on a theory that people are either oxidative dominant or autonomic dominant which means that some people feel better on higher protein diets and others on higher carbs. Others need an even mix. Your individual MT greatly impacts how the body digests different foods.
How will MT affect you: Improved energy levels, effective weight loss, reduced bloating and improved sleeping patterns are just some of the results recorded after one month of eating right for your type. Another plus is that it can be adapted to fit in with other diets, or if you are not a ‘dieter’ you can simply shift your protein and carbohydrate ratios to match your personal MT.
Take this great test to see what your MT type is. Some of the questions will challenge you and really make you think about how different foods make you feel.

And I would love to hear your feedback!

Oh yea i can’t eat anything in morning, my stomack simply can take it, so i only drink protein shake in morning. Thats my healthy meal
Thats quite common Montoya,
However there are many metabolic benefits of eating a balanced breakfast not to mention the opportunity to eat some fruit. A protein shake is better than nothing, and so long as you are getting your daily dose of 3 pieces of fruit. Thats ok. I take it you are a protein type in the metabolic quiz??? Thanks for your great comments!
Hehe I am a protein type, In the morning i only can eat a orange and protein shake.
Interesting test, I am a mixed type. It at least gets me to think a little bit more about my overall state in relationship to what I have eaten.
Cheers, Joe
I am a mixed type, leaning towards protein. This explains why i crach mid morning when I just have cereal/fruit for breakfast. I am going to try adding a bit of protein (eggs?) in the morning to see if it helps
Hi Joe,
The questions really get you thinking don’t they! I suggest reading the qu’s and then observing your bodies reaction to food for a week. It certainly gets you thinking doesn’t it!
Good luck!
That is a great advise Amelia, but the problem with me I am really lazy in terms of eating fruits and vegetable but still try those thing because I know it will benefit me.
Hi Online fitness health
if you feel lazy when it comes to fruit and vegetables, may I suggest you take a supplement such as juice plus. Juice plus is one of the most highly researched multivitamins in the world. I’ve been on it for 7 years, and I NEVER get sick
