Synopsis The co-creator of this diet plan, William Linz Wolcott, claims that there are three different types of human digestive compositions, which he refers to as metabolic types--carbo type, protein type, and mixed type. According to this theory, one's metabolic type determines which foods one should eat for weight loss, good digestion, and optimal health. Wolcott provides questionnaires to help dieters identify their metabolic types as well as a meal plan for each type.

Publisher's Note Each individual is genetically unique in the way he or she utilized nutrients on a metabolic level, and THE METABOLIC TYPING DIET is the first and only book to offer men and women a revolutionary, scientifically proven system for discovering their metabolic type and determining their own nutritional needs. Some people thrive on high-protein diets that include meat and dairy products; others are built for high-carbohydrate diets based mainly on vegetables and grains. By taking the self-test that William Wolcott has developed and tested over the course of many ears, the reader will learn how his or her own internal "engine of metabolism" converts foods and nutrients into "body fuel." And by following the proper diet, he or she will not only achieve an ideal weight, but will also be healthier, more energetic, and mentally alert. THE METABOLIC DIET provides comprehensive food lists and other dietary instructions, including the proper ratios of protein, carbohydrates, and fat for each metabolic type. Based on a proprietary system available to no one but William Wolcott, this is, indeed, the very last diet anyone will ever need.
