Metabolic Food Typing


Many people feel that eating a vegetarian diet is ideal for everyone, and that it will benefit all of mankind. This is simply not true!

The saying, "One man's meat is another man's poison", is absolutely correct.

We cannot all eat the same foods - it really depends on our 'metabolic type', which is based upon the research of William Wolcott. If you haven't yet read the "The Metabolic Typing Diet" (available from www.chapters.ca), we strongly encourage you to do so, as it reviews these topics extensively.

If you already feel good, eating should help to maintain your energy level at the very least. But if you feel any of the following conditions shortly after eating,  than you need to make some changes.
One man's meat . . .
  • 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

Any of the above feelings might be due to an improper combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates at our 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. This can easily produce the symptoms listed above.

Everyone Has Their Own Unique Metabolic Type

Many of the patients that come to our clinic are eating very high-quality nutritious foods, yet they 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 reasons is related to the fact that they are not eating the appropriate foods for their metabolic type.

A Simple Fuel Analogy

Just as gas is fuel for our vehicles, food is fuel for our bodies!. 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. However, 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. That is why some of the sickest people I see in my practice are those who are "designed" to be eating high-proteins foods but have decided to be vegetarians. Conversely, carbohydrate types who choose to eat high amounts of meats also don't do very well.
