The Ten Metabolic Types
Individuals are classified into ten basic types, which are named "Metabolic Types One through Ten." By classifying each person into their own proper type, it is possible to determine accurately which foods would best support his or her own body chemistry. Equally important, it is possible to know what foods they should not have.
The autonomic nervous system plays a major role in the classification of the metabolic types. The ten metabolic types are arranged into three groups:
1. Group A, which includes the Sympathetic Dominant Metabolic Types: One, Four, and Six.
2. Group B, which includes the Parasympathetic Dominant Metabolic Types: Two, Five, and Seven.
3. Group C, which includes the Balanced Sympathetic/Parasympathetic Metabolic Types: Three, Eight, Nine and Ten.
Group A: Vegetarian Types
Type 1:
Needs very little or no animal products at all. Can live almost entirely on fruits, vegetables and nuts.
Type 4:
Needs some animal products such as fish, chicken, eggs and unpasteurized goat cheese several times a week.
Type 6:
Combination of Types 1 and 4, but has horrible metabolism. Needs more food to make up for lack of absorption.
Group B: Carnivore Types
Type 2:
Needs meat and lots of it, preferably beef. Has little or no energy unless they eat meat.
Type 5:
Needs meat to feel good, but perhaps to a lesser degree. However most meals should contain some form or meat.
Type 7:
A cross between Types 2 and 5 but with a horrible metabolism.
Group C: Balanced Types
Type 3:
Has horrible metabolism. Only absorbs 15% of what he or she eats. Feels so bad that they often wish they were dead.
Type 8:
Normal balanced metabolism. Can eat and benefit from all foods, provided they are wholesome.
Type 9:
Needs 70% cooked food in diet. Hates raw food.
Type 10:
Super-efficient metabolizer. Needs very little food and sleep, yet feels terrific.
