Why Some Diets Don't Work

If you have tried many, many diets, and nothing is working, perhaps you are not finding the right diet for your body type. in William Wolcott's and Trish Fahet's book "Metabolic Typing Diet" the fundamental of 'one size fits all' diet is completely dispelled and explained.

Your body type, metabolic makeup, although genetic, can be totally different from another in your family. Basically, there are three types:

1) Protein Type who are fast oxidizers or parasympathetic dominant
2) Carbo Type who are slow oxidizers or sympathetic dominant
3) Mixed Type who neither fast nor slow oxidizers and neither parasympathetic, nor sympathetic dominant

I've mentioned in a previous article that my doctor was amazed at my excellent body changes when I went on the Dr. Aktins Diet Revolution high protein diet. The feeling of well being, drop in weight, blood pressure, cholestrol and wonderful energy was very telling. My body doesn't handle carbohydrates. It took me a long time to "figure it out on my own!" In my experience, doctors do not work, discuss, or diagnos conditions about these different metabolic and dietary differences. If you are having difficutly controlling your weight, it might pay to read up on the metabolic types and give it a try.

In this book, there is a 65 question test that helps you figure out your metabolic type. Once you figure out which type you are, there are sections of the book specifically written to help you avoid your "poisons" and work with your metabolism. I highly recommend this book to anyone with thyroid disorder, as well, because as Dr. Oz says "Food is a drug, and you must select it for optimum health."
