What metabolic body type are you?
Is your body craving for Carbohydrates or Proteins?
Often by just knowing there are different body types, people tend to get a good feeling for what body type they are. This information may aide you in discovering which body type you are, which foods you would do best on and which foods you should avoid. You'll be able to find out in more detail which foods will best suit your body type when you join Supersonic Life.
A person with a carbohydrate body type:
A person with a carbohydrate body type would do best with around 60% of their total calories from complex carbohydrates, 25% from protein and 15% from healthy fats.
People with this body type in general don't have a large appetite, they can even skip a meal and still be ok. They will thrive on fruit and vegetables and also grains. They would not feel good after a high fat meal and would feel lethargic and overly full with a high protein meal. They may even put on weight with a high protein low carbohydrate diet. This body type would do well juice fasting.
Fruits and vegetables are by far the best sources of carbohydrates because they not only promote good health by delivering vitamins, minerals and fibre; they also supply a host of very important phytonutrients and enzymes. Why fruits and vegetables.
A person with a protein body type:
A person with a protein body type would do best with around 40% of their total calories from protein, 30% from complex carbohydrates and 30% from healthy fats.
People with this body type would generally feel hungry all the time with the incorrect food mix. For instance they wouldn't feel satisfied after a high carbohydrate meal. High sugar foods could make them hyper initially, then leave them exhausted afterwards. They would feel terrible fasting and would experience energy dips, irritability or even dizziness after more than 4 hours without food.
So when choosing protein-rich foods, pay attention to what comes along with the protein. Vegetables are a good source of protein, also nuts and whole grains are excellent choices and they offer healthy fibre, vitamins and minerals. Choosing healthy protein foods.
A person with a mixed food body type:
A person with a mixed food body type would do best with around 45% of their total calories from complex carbohydrates, 35% from protein and 20% from healthy fats.
People with this body type, would notice little difference eating either a higher protein or higher carbohydrate meal. They would have normal hunger feelings at mealtime and can eat the widest range of foods. They can also do ok with a juice fast.
With regard to this information;
It is not intended that you start to measure how much fat, protein or carbohydrate you have with each meal. Rather, it is to give you basic guidance so that you can better understand the types of food that would leave you with a feeling of being nourished instead of feel the need to eat more.
With regard to fats, the key to a healthy diet is to substitute good fats for bad fats - and most importantly to totally avoid all trans fats.
It is highly recommended that you read - Fats and Cholesterol.
