Metabolic Typing Diet: Eat Depending on your Metabolic Type


You’ll be surprised how a hot topic dieting is nowadays. A lot of books regarding nutrition and diet were published all around the world. I guess some of you might have read numerous books or even browse the internet looking for trends that can help you lose weight. You might be familiar or even tried some of the ways on dieting like the south beach diet, low protein/low fat but high carbohydrate diet and a lot more. Those were successful to some but not to other people. Recently I stumbled upon a type of diet which is quite interesting and intriguing. And it is the metabolic typing diet.




Research shows that people are born with specific metabolic type. According to this type of diet, the concept of “every people are all unique” also applies with dieting. We all have different metabolic types so approach of one diet which is said to be effective to all people is not applicable. Some foods that will decrease your weight could make some people gain weight. Learning your metabolic type can help you in planning what foods and meal will make you lose weight effectively. According to metabolic typing diet, you should take the appropriate foods and nutrients for your needs genetically. If not, those foods will not be converted to energy properly and will just become fats instead. This type of diet also gives a lot of long-term benefits like the ability to lose weight and keep it off, improve immunity, and a lot more.

As with all dieting and eating programs, you should do your own research and possibly consult with your physician to determine what would be best for your situation. We provide this information solely for informational purposes and make no claim or recommendation of any specific diet or eating plan.


So what do you think about the metabolic typing diet? Let me know your thoughts about it!
