Weight loss in blackburn
Especially in an advanced culture like ours, so rich in scientific expertise and resources. And yet, identifying a truly effective diet has long been, for most of us, an elusive goal, an objective that somehow remains just beyond our reach.
Today's savvy health consumers know that doctors have no "magic bullet" solutions for the majority of human ailments, and that good health and longevity are somehow inextricably linked to diet and lifestyle management. So it's commonly accepted these days that, to remain free of pain, illness and excess weight, or to enjoy high levels of energy and well-being, you need to pursue the right dietary and nutritional regime.
But here's the catch: for many years nutritional science has been based on a generic approach to health and nutrition. Virtually all of the world's leading dietary experts have established single dietary solutions which they believe can be universally applied to everyone.
Yet this approach fails to recognize that, for genetic reasons, people are all very different from one another on a metabolic level, i.e., in the way that our bodies process foods and utilize nutrients.
Modify Your Diet So You Feel Terrific
Generally speaking, eating a meal that is right for your Metabolicl Type should produce marked and lasting improvement in your energy, your mental capacities, your emotional well-being, and leave you feeling well-satisfied for several hours.
If you are already feeling good, eating should, at the very least, help to maintain your energy level. But if you feel worse in some way an hour or so after eating, such as:
You still feel hungry even though you are physically full
You develop a sweet craving
Your energy level drops
You feel hyper, nervous, angry or irritable
You feel depressed
... then it might be due to an improper combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates at your last meal. You might be eating the perfect foods for your metabolism, but having too much of one type of food in place of another can easily produce the symptoms listed above.
Everyone Has Their Own Unique Metabolic Type
Many people come to my office eating very high-quality nutritious foods and are still quite sick. They haven't touched sugar or junk food in ages and still suffer with many health problems. There are a number of reasons for this, but one of the major physical ones is related to the fact that they are not eating appropriate foods for their Metabolic Type.
If you are interested in truly optimizing your health, your weight, and your energy -- and in avoiding premature aging -- one of the most important steps you should take is to learn your Metabolic Type and eat according to it. What may be very healthy for others is not necessarily as healthy for you, and vice-versa, and eating according to your Nutritional Type™ is really the only way to ascertain what is really good for you.

You will learn the right (and wrong) foods to fight and prevent disease and improve the way you feel--physically and emotionally -- and that help you prevent disease. To get more of a general idea of Metabolic Type, though, consider the following analogy.
Simple Fuel Analogy
Just as food is fuel for our bodies, gas is food for our cars. Imagine for a moment that you have pulled into an exclusive gas station that has secured the highest quality gasoline from one of the world's leading refineries ... gas that has been screened carefully and shown to be free of anything that would possibly harm your car's engine.
It would seem reasonable to believe that your car is going to thrive on that high-quality gas once you put it in your tank. But what if you were driving a diesel-powered vehicle? If that were the case, in a few minutes your car would stop running, and you would have a very expensive repair job ahead of you.
The fact that the car stopped running does not imply that the gas wasn't any good or that your car was defective. It was simply the wrong type of fuel for your car.
Like your car, your body was designed for a certain correct type of fuel ... that is, a certain correct blend of the right food types. The further you deviate from this ideal, the more health problems are likely. Whe a person requiring a high level protein diet eats more carbs than protein their health can suffer, this can also make weight loss harder. Conversely, carb types who choose to eat high amounts of meats also don't do very well either, it is very important to correctly assess your metabolic needs. As too much protein can be just as bad as too much carbs.
Different Metabolic Types
The Metabolic Typing DietTM, by one of the pioneers of metabolic typing, William Wolcott.
Protein types do better on low-carbohydrate, high-protein and high-fat diets. A typical ratio might be 40 percent protein and 30 percent each of fats and carbohydrates, but the amounts could easily shift to 50 percent fats and as little as 10 percent carbohydrates depending on individual genetic requirements.
Carb types normally feel best when the majority of their food is carbohydrate. However, just as we only have one word for snow while the Eskimos have many more, we only have one word for carbs while there are actually different types. There is a major difference between vegetables and grains and yet they are both referenced as "carbs."
Not All Carbs are Created Equal
While this is technically correct, if one doesn't understand the practical distinction between grains and vegetables, one is likely headed for a health disaster. It is important to remember that over two-thirds of Americans are either obese or overweight, and nearly every one of these individuals needs to lower their insulin levels.
Additionally, most people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes also struggle with elevated insulin levels that respond quite well to grain restriction.
So what nearly all of these people--likely over 85 percent of the U.S. population--will benefit from is not a low-carb diet (the Atkins Diet), but the grain-free diet too.
Additionally, your activity and stress levels will affect and alter the quantity of food, as well as the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, you need to feel your best.
Last, there is also a circadian rhythm to account for. Your biochemistry moves through various phases throughout the day. These rhythms involve your hormonal output, your acid/alkaline shifts, your waking/sleeping times and many other time-based variables. While some people will have a need for the same ratios of protein, fat and carbs at each meal, others will discover that they need very different ratios at the different meals in order to derive optimum energy, well being and performance.
What is the Solution?
Well, you will find the program, is really quite simple and straightforward. In general, you first start by eating the proportions of proteins, fats and carbs according to your taste and appetite.
Next, analyze your reactions to your meal and discover how well you did in selecting the right ratios for yourself. A table to help you do this is provided within your programme.
Finally, if you did not react optimally to your meal, change the ratios the next time you eat that meal and again analyze your reactions. In this way you can fine-tune each meal to the ratios of proteins, fats and carbs that are just right for you.
As an example of how the ratios can make a difference, I used to have a salad with some meat in it for lunch. However, several hours later I would feel absolutely famished, and I could not make it through the afternoon without strong food cravings.
Remember that you should feel terrific one hour after you eat. If you are still having food cravings or your energy level is lower, these are giant clues that you are likely not eating appropriately for your Metabolic Type.
