Metabolism Diet
An intact immune system, more energy and above all the ideal weight - that promises a change in diet, which is based on their own metabolism. We reveal how Metabolic Typing works and present delicious recipes for each type.
Every body works differently, processes and tolerates food differently! That's why there is not the perfect diet for everyone. Dietician Ursula Wetter therefore reveals how the diet can be individually adjusted with the metabolic-typing system in her guidebook "Healthy weight loss according to the metabolic type".
In order to determine in the first step, which diet is suitable for which type, one must, however, deal with his four most important body systems (burns, nerves, glands and blood groups) very carefully. And although the explanations are admittedly a bit dry, you should not skip the first part of the detailed questionnaire.
Metabolic Typing - this is how it works
How quickly our body converts nutrients into energy can be broken down into three types of burn according to the nutrition experts: "slow burners" use carbohydrates very well (carbohydrate type), "fast burners" use proteins and fats (protein type) and "even burners" a mixture from both (mixed food type).
In the second step the nerve type is determined. The "Sypathicus type", for example, struggles with sleep problems, high blood sugar levels and has a lot of stress. The "parasympathetic type" is the exact opposite. Third, there are also the types selected.
Thanks to metabolism decrease
Thirdly, because certain foods can cause a hormone boost, which in turn can alter our metabolism, a look at the endocrine system is also very important. Ursula Wetter even sees this as a key to overweight. Pituitary, thyroid, adrenal or gonadal type - each gland type should avoid certain "problem foods". For example, the adrenal gland type would have to do without meat, sausage and alcohol. Its optical features: It is small and muscular and uses fat rather above the waist.
Finally, taking into account the blood group with all these data, the perfect diet can be determined, which is utilized optimally by the body. And thus also losing weight should be easier. For each type Ursula weather has also put together a weekly plan with delicious recipes. As a foretaste, we will each present a recipe for the carbohydrate type, the protein type and the mixed food type.
Literature Tip
After just a few weeks, the diet should have a noticeable effect on the body and mood after the metabolic type. Particularly helpful is the directory, which lists the suitable foods for the respective food types including calorie information.
