all about metabolisms

So this weekend I learned extensively about Metabolic Typing with the help of my Biofeedback guru Mrs. Kate Poole. I had my first session of biofeedback and all I can say to you is that it blew my mind. Yes really. Call it New Age-y crap if you will, but it was the most emotional and releasing session I have had in years for pain and anxiety.



I have a wonderful book listed online on metabolic typing: http://books.google.com/books?id=PDwP_OJPhyEC&pg=PA116&lpg=PA116&dq=type+II+metabolic+type+high-oxidizer&source=web&ots=1bibIO_euW&sig=LRtP7yemRcAmtSW_eWLSHkg5HIo&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=9&ct=result#PPP1,M1

This book, along with Mrs. Poole's session, helped me to figure out which type I am to help myself with this weightloss goal. I'm a fast oxidizer:



'Fast oxidizers burn carbohydrates too quickly to obtain efficient fuel from them. They usually have insulin resistance, and the result is hunger soon after eating carbohydrates and a strong craving for bread. There will usually be some weight gain from a diet too high in carbohydrates. Richer, fatty foods are metabolized well, and are actually the best source of energy. Paradoxically, fatty foods are essential for weight loss in fast oxidizers!'



I'm really enjoying the idea of eating lots of protein and fatty foods! Mwahahahaha. Well, anyway, I am going to try it out and see if it gets me leaner any quicker. I'll keep you posted.
