Your Metabolic Type And Why It Is Important

Perhaps one of the most asked questions in these modern times is why can't I lose weight ? Is it really necessary to believe the answer is hidden and impossible to find, or worse still that it is somehow your own fault. When life was a little simpler good health was a given, our ancestors thrived on an indigenous diet that was perfectly attuned to their metabolic type.

With obesity reaching epidemic proportions throughout the industrialized world the link between modern lifestyles and poor health is self evident. With so much information available today and the vast amounts of money poured into health care and the diet industry it would seem truly amazing that nobody can actually come up with a health promoting lifestyle that works. A great example of this is the contradictory nature of various diets, we all know about the Atkins diet and how it relies heavily on protein and very low levels of carbohydrates in stark contrast to the hi/lo diet and often government supported notion that minimum fat and meat along side high levels of fruits, grains and vegtables for a diet based primarily on carbohydrates.

Despite some success with both approaches it is absolutely clear that they cannot both be right. With increasing obesity and worsening health neither approach can claim widespread success, in fact it is obvious that the diet and health industry has failed completely to provide any form of reliable health improvement or a diet that can be applied individually with guaranteed results. If a diet existed that was able to produce ideal results we would see an end to poor health on a global scale almost immediately.

Anyone selling a weight loss product in a "one size fits all" or "guaranteed weight loss" fashion without identifying your metabolic type is either misinformed or simply profiteering on other peoples misfortune. You may wonder why or even how anyone could do such a thing, unfortunately there is harsh truth behind it. If you are overweight you are very valuable to the diet and drug industry, the pills and diet formulas they sell you don't work very efficiently and they know it, however that means lots of repeat prescriptions from people coming back for more, desperately trying keep the weight off. You can only fool your body so long before it reverts to your metabolic type.

Find out who you truly are and learn what that person needs to be healthy, building health is different from crash weight loss which only seeks short term goals in reducing the visible side effects of a metabolic condition. Your ideal diet is as uniqe as you are, you must have a diet that will work for your genetic make up or your ancestors would have died out long ago, they didn't need diet pills, low carbohydrate or low fat diets they simply ate what they were genetically accustomed to.

By correctly identifying who you truly are and how that unique human being operates is the first step to putting on your plate the very fuel that is ideal for you, this will keep hunger at bay between meals maintain high energy levels and a steady metabolism burning away those excess pounds. The benefits of matching your food to 'your metabolic type' are huge resulting in robust health, a better and happier outlook on life and high energy that goes with happiness and health.

Next time you ask yourself why can't I lose weight ? Make sure you arm yourself with the wisdom to answer it, this is a journey within yourself not a search outside for answers. You always have carried those answers with you, it is those who wish to keep you in servitude that don't want you to find them.
