RE: The Metabolic Typing Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Robin,

It's a great book isn't it? I've wondered the same thing as to why there

isn't a review on the WAPF website. In fact I found this book first and

it's what led me to Nourishing Traditions.

Anyway, in case you're interested here are some websites

You may want to email your question re pregnancy to them but I don't know

why you wouldn't want to eat according to your metabolic type all the time,

it would seem to me it would be even more crucial during pregnancy when you

want everything working as well as possible.

Congratulations on getting the first portrait of your son --sometimes

technology is cool.

I'm wondering why this book isn't on the WAPF book review

list? Nor does Radiant Life show it in their catalog. Wolcott talks of

Dr. Price, Dr. Pottenger and other's work in it as well as NT, and it

seem very compatible with NT. I really appreciate those on this list

telling me about it!

Ok, so my test results show I'm a mixed type leaning more towards a

carbo type. Therefore, I wouldn't thrive well on these low-carb diets

that you all have been talking about. It also explains why I felt good

on the raw-food diet and lost weight, but my down fall with that was not

having enough protein sources to keep me balanced. According to this

book, I'm suppose to be eating 30% protein, 20% fat, and 50% carbs. If

I add the protein & fat into the same category (their recommendation),

it would come out 50/50%. Therefore, if I went back to my raw-foods

diet (including cultured veggies this time), and added the 30% protein

sources (again preferably as raw as possible) I should be doing great!

I'm just wondering if I can begin to implement this diet while I'm

pregnant or if I should continue trying to eat higher amounts of protein

like the Brewer's DIet recommends on the www.blueribbonbaby.org site

with an NT twist?

BTW, when I had the ultrasoud done on my liver this past week (still

awaiting the results), the tech asked me if I wanted a picture of the

baby and to know the sex. Of course, I said 'yes' to both questions and

I got a nice profile shot of our 'lil baby boy!

Warmly,

Robin

Hi ,

Yes, I'm very much enjoying it. Thanks for the web sites, I'll

check them out.

I was thinking the same thing about the pregnancy and eating

according to my type, but I've heard so many say that you need 80 to 100

grams of protein everyday when your pregnant in order to avoid toxemia.

Therefore, I wasn't sure how to handle it. Of course, I haven't

finished the book yet and perhaps my question will be answered in the

long run. If not, I'll contact them to be sure.

Yes, it was great to see the baby and get the picture. He was so

cute, like he was looking around the placenta trying to see something.

Thanks for your assistance,

Robin

I haven't read the book, but I'd be EXTREMELY wary about any dietary

recommendation that cuts your fat intake to 20% of calories. That sounds

like a recipe for a wide variety of health problems. This is especially

important during pregnancy, because the fetus has a voracious need for a

wide variety of high-quality fats.
