We use the metabolic typing diet as every body is different. We all need protein, carbohydrates and fat but in different ratios.

Most foods eaten should be unprocessed, fresh, organic and if possible, raw and wild. We also recommend a low grain and dairy diet. Before looking at what you eat you do need to make sure you are drinking enough plain mineral water, at least 2 litres per day. All changes should be made one step at a time.

Take the test below to find out what diet is correct for your body. For example, Jody is a "Protein Type" and by clicking on the image to the right you can see what nutrient ratios are correct for his body. If you have taken the test before and just want an update, you can might find it use full to take the test at chekconnect.com for instant results.

BASIC METABOLIC TYPE TEST:

This questionnaire is designed to help you determine the optimal macro nutrients ratio (fats : protein : carbohydrates) to begin the process of fine-tuning your body’s feedback mechanisms.

For those of you not sure what a fat, protein or carbohydrate is, let us simplify that for you. If the food comes something that has a set of eyes, it is going to be higher in fat and proteins; fat and proteins most often come together in nature. For examples, cows, sheep, birds and fish all have eyes and all provide higher protein/fat foods. Food like vegetables, fruits and cereals do not come from a source that had a set of eyes and are generally much higher in carbohydrates and lower in fat and protein. These are a few exceptions to this rule such as nuts, seeds and avocados, which have no eyes yet are high fat foods.

  • When answering the questions, tick the box that best describes the way you feel, not the way you THINK you should eat!
  • If none of the answers suit you with regard to a particular question, simply don’t answer that question.
  • If the answer A suits you more of the time (in the morning, but not the evening for example), and answer B suits other times, you may tick both provided that the answers refer to how you may feel on any given day, not within a period of over 24 hours.
