The Metabolic Typing Diet

[Guest guest]

We went to the city this weekend and I picked up The Metabolic Typing

DIet at Borders. I've skipped all over in it reading bits and pieces,

took the test and have read almost up to chapter 4 from the beginning at

this point. 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,
