Here is nutrition's best-kept secret: What works for one person may have no effect on another person, and may make a third person worse. That's why diet books, in general, sell so well - any particular "diet" will work for some, but it will leave others disappointed and looking for the next "miracle diet" to come along. Each individual is genetically unique in the way he or she utilises 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 years, 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 TYPING 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 needs.
