Nutritional Typing for Optimal Weight Management

Posted on August 13th, 2010 by admin  |  1 Comment »

Do you try to lose weight but miss your target? The kinds of foods you eat – not just the amount – might be the missing link in your successful weight loss attempts.

Devised by natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola, Nutritional Typing (NT) teaches you how to eat according to your specific needs and biochemistry.

A foundational health tool in Dr. Mercola’s Total Health Breakthrough, Nutritional Typing classifies people into three nutritional types:

  • Protein Types operate best on a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, and a relatively high (healthy) fat diet.
  • Carb Types are at their best when most of their foods are made up of carbohydrates, primarily from vegetables.
  • Mixed Types require food combinations found among the carb and protein types. This is considered the most challenging nutritional type.

The good news, says Dr. Mercola, is that the online NT Test is now FREE!

How Can Nutritional Typing Help You Optimize Your Weight?

Dr. Mercola reveals that most diets fail miserably because of wrong food choices for one’s Nutritional Type.

“Do you call yourself an individual, but don’t ask for an individualized diet? Weight loss begins with what you eat, and Nutritional Typing is the first crucial step,” he says.

Nutritional Typing “customizes” nutrition based on your body’s reaction to food. It encourages you to adopt the right diet and food preferences.

Nutritional Typing Has Other Health Benefits

Besides weight management, there are other ways Nutritional Typing can help you to have:

  • Increased energy
  • Fighting disease
  • Improved emotional state
  • Youthfulness
  • Lack of hunger or cravings
  • Better mental focus
  • Possible cure for existing illnesses
  • Longer, better life

Dr. Mercola says that Nutritional Typing can help your metabolism move toward balance. This enables your body to prevent sickness and rebuild itself.

However, the best results also depend on the quality of foods you eat. Your best bet is fresh, locally grown, and organic food.

Eat as much of your food as you can raw. This will preserve the nutrients and minimize heat damage from cooking.

    Your blog is pretty cool to me and your topics are very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of website managers are committing these five errors”. You will be surprised how fast they are to fix.
