What's Your Metabolic Type?

There are few things in life as liberating as discovering your metabolic type, few things as enlightening as finally coming to understand exactly what foods and food combinations will enable you to successfuly and permanently lose weight

Without adequate understanding of how the human body works and interats with food you may find yourself falling victim to fad diets, potions and pills that promise HUGE weight loss with little or no effort.

I wish it were true, too, but I guess our mother's were right after all.

When we don't understand how specific foods affect us, eating becomes a daily struggle. We struggle to feel satisfied, to fight the battle of the bulge, or just to feel decently from one hour to the next.

Once you recognize your metabolic individuality, however, everything changes. The balance shifts, the tables are turned -- suddenly you're the one in control of food, it's not in control of you.  When you know how to choose foods that effectively sustain your body's unique style of functioning, eating is what it should be -- easy and enjoyable.

Over thousands of years of evolutionary history, people in different parts of the world developed very distinct nutritional needs in response to a whole range of variables -- including climate and geography and whatever plant and animal life their environments had to offer.

As a result, people today have widely varying nutrient requirements, especially with regard to macronutrients -- the proteins, carbohydrates and fats which are the fundamental dietary "building blocks," or the compounds most essential to sustaining life.

The bottom line is that a diet considered "healthy" in one part of the world is frequently disastrous for people elsewhere in the world due to varying genetic and metabolic tendencies.

This principle of diet being linked to genetic requirements is seen throughout nature. Every animal species is genetically programmed to feed on specific sources of food. Unlike man who applies free will to his dietary choices, animals eat according to their natural instincts and genetic dictates.

What are the benefits of Eating for my Metabolic Type?

When you start to eat correctly, you'll experience lots of positive changes that will sharply improve the quality of your life. Some of these benefits will occur right away, others will take a while longer.

Here are the kinds of improvements you can expect in the short-term:

* your food will be efficiently converted to energy rather than stored as fat

* you'll enjoy plenty of physical and mental energy following meals and snacks

* you'll feel full and hunger-free, 4 to 5 hours after meals

* you'll lose your cravings for sweets and starchy foods

* digestive problems -- indigestion, gas, bloating -- will subside

* you'll have sustained energy and endurance throughout the day

There are plenty of long-term benefits you can expect as well, although they're different for everyone, since people have different kinds of metabolic imbalances and an almost infinite assortment of related health problems.

In general, however, here are the kinds of long-term health benefits you can expect if you stick to a diet that's tailored to your metabolic type:

* natural weight loss, without dieting or restricting calories

* permanent weight loss, without struggle, deprivation or hunger

* achievement of your ideal weight, whether you're over or underweight

 

Discovering your metabolic type is the first step towards long term weight loss, health and wellness.  Fueling your body properly is a fundamental requirement for good function and ultimately good health.

Fortunately, the metabolic typing evaluation provided at Renewal Center can help take the guess work out of what you should be eating.  Now, what about how much?

 

Testing Your Metabolism With A RMR Test:

 

Did you know?... You’re metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which your body burns energy. Knowing your unique metabolic rate is vital for weight loss as well as for determining the proper feeding amounts needed to treat various disease states. Energy expenditure can be divided into three groups of calories. Resting Calories - Calories that you burn while your body is at rest. These calories are needed just to maintain life. The majority of all calories burned (about 70-80%) are burned at the resting level. - changing your resting metabolic rate is the easiest way to enhance metabolism. Activity Calories - Calories that you burned because of normal daily activities are "Activity Calories". Normal daily activities such as walking, eating (digesting food), typing, etc. are included in activity calories. Exercise Calories - These calories are burned during exercise. "One of the keys to successful weight loss is to burn more calories then you consume."

How do I know how many calories I burn each day?

As you already know, one of the keys to successful weight loss is to burn more calories than you eat (although quite fundamental it still holds true). Since you are unique you may burn much fewer or greater calories than predicted by charts or calculations.

At Renewal Center a simple 12-minute breathing test can measure your unique metabolic rate using the same method as used in leading research hospitals. We can tell you exactly how many calories you burn at rest.

This test will also tell you if your metabolic rate is fast or slow, how many calories you need to consume to achieve weight loss goals or maintain present weight, and how much your diet has changed your metabolic rate over time.

We don't get enough Nutrition from our food:

Even those who consume an otherwise healthy diet may be deficient, or acquiring sub-optimal levels of nutrition. Due to the changes in agricultural practices and the need for mass production and shelf life, much of our food quality and nutrient content has suffered.

If we want to achieve optimal function we must obtain optimal nutrition.

functional nutritional testing offers a novel approach to determing if there are any specific nutrients that you may be lacking.  Neurological, hormonal and metabolics biomarkers are availalbe for testing in blood, saliva and urine to determine the need for neurtraceutical supplementation.

Balancing your body's internal physiology through dietary modification, nutrient supplementation and caloric restriction has proven successful for thousands attempting to lose weight- Permanently..

Once you've achieved a state of metabolic efficiency your body will respond better to resistance training and cardiovascular exercise.  No more efforts in vain, No more endless hours on the treadmill, bike or elliptical.

So, identifying the weight loss program that will best support your health is considerably more complicated than it seems. There are just too many different factors such as heredity, genetics, environment, etc. which influence your nutritional needs.

Not to mention the fact that your nutritional needs are not static. Your body is a dynamic homeostatic system -- meaning it's always in flux, always attempting to regulate itself, achieve a healthy balance, adjust to shifting environmental conditions.

Your dietary needs can change from year to year, season to season, day to day -- even hour by hour, due to cyclical (circadian) rhythms which cause predictable shifts in your body chemistry every 24 hours.

Fortunately there is a breakthrough technology you can use to quickly and easily identify which foods are right for you . . . and it's available right here at Renewal Center.
