got me real interested with the nutrient content of produce by state

especially. Amazon.com is the only place that has it as I went for price

comparison and used availability at addall.com first.

---->Oh Wanita, it's a fascinating book! It's got my mind churning a mile a

minute. I'm a little leary that the author jumps to conclusions a little too

quickly on some topics, but it raises so many interesting questions. I'll

try to find time to post more excerpts when i can.

Re: Metabiloc Typing, I agree with whoever it was that said 20%

of calories from fat sounded like too little, I didn't take the

author's recommendation of 50% carbs/50% protein and fat for a

mixed metabolic type as a firm guide. I think roughly even

amounts percentage-wise of fat, protein and carbs is more

accurate for someone who does not have a carb handling

problem (and good carbs, of course - mostly veggies and fruits,

lighter on grains). In my experience, anyway. I test as a mixed

type, and I have realized I feel much better when each meal is a

relatively even mix, lighter on carbs than he recommends for a

mixed type. If I eat a meal too heavy in one area, I get hungry

much sooner and don't have as much energy. He also says

each person's individual type lies on a point along a continuum,

that the percentages he gives are general guidelines only, gives

tools for fine-tuning, and goes into things like oxidative rates,

endocrine balance, and the nervous system.

There are a few other things in the book I don't entirely agree

with, but I think it is a valuable tool for helping people pin down

what kind of macronutrient profile would work for them, with ways

to evaluate how your body reacts to certain foods, but as always I

think your individual instinct should be followed (if it's not entirely

corrupted by a sugar addiction or some such thing). As we

know, NT can be used to construct a diet heavy in any area, and

since it doesn't really give any recommendations as to how to

figure out what works best for you as an individual, many people

are still in the dark there, if they're not very practiced at listening

to their body. The system in Metabolic Typing makes much more

sense to me than things like saying everyone should eat the

same macronutrient ratio, or blood typing to determine what you

should eat (I'm sorry, but people are more individual than that, I

obviously do not have the same metabolism as others I know

with my same blood type, that system also does not allow for

variation throughout life and seems to restrict so many things

that I think it predisposes to deficiencies).

Glad you found it interesting, Wanita. I'd like to get Metabolic

Man, too.

I was wondering do these book cover the topics of eating grains prepared NT way

or just eating regular grains.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough ''Hello's " to get you through the final goodbye.

Metabolic Typing explains why soaking and sprouting of grains is needed.

------->a, I've just read the first half of " Metabolic Man: 10,000 years

from Eden " in which the author discusses the history of human nutrition -

it's nutritional anthropology, i guess. So, yes he metions soaking and

traditional methods of preparation ( i think i included some specifics on

that in my last post re this book).

in the second half of the book he dedicates a chapter each to a number of

contemporary (well, most) researchers/writers such as Bieler,

, , Deepak Chopra, Ann Louise Gittleman (Viscious

Cycle/specific carb. diet) and a bunch of others. He also discussed Price,

Pottenger, Albrecht, Fallon and Enig, in the first half of the book.

Hi Grace,

I don't know about Metabolic Man, but The Metabolic Typing Diet

book certainly does and refers directly to NT and where to purchase it.

NT is the first thing that is mentioned under the heading; Foods High in

Phytates and talks about the proper preparation of grains.
