Hi. I have just finished the labor-intensive "Self Test For the Metabolic Types" by Dr. Kelley.
I am asking this question in the hope of saving time while I try to understand where to go next, and what to do to help myself.
I feel that time is of the essense. My joint and muscle pain level is high. No headaches though, thank God..
So here is the question:
According to Dr. Kelley, I am a Functional Type 1 with a Metabolic Subtype of 10.
I am having trouble concentrating enough to figure out what I should eat to rebuild and regenerate my metabolism.
What the blazes (According to Dr. Kelley) should I be eating, and how should I figure this out? I have gone back and forth between both of Dr. Kelley's books for 2 weeks now, and I still do not have a clear idea of how to proceed.
His system can be complicated. Here's a different approach. (1) Take the basic metabolic typing test, deterime if you are Protein, Carb or Mixed. (2) Go to the Blood Type Forum here at CureZone. (3)Eat the specific foods per your blood type in the carb, fat, protein proportions per your Metabolic Type.
This only works for the slow oxidizers. Be ware...there is no easy MT.
I am a fast oxidizer dominant and parasympathic; purines become a huge part of my MT diet. So I eat high purine proteins and vegitables. The ratios of protein, to fat, to carb also vary for each type.
Hi...
I've been down the path you are on (I started MT about 2 years ago). I suggest you join the MT program by Dr. Mercola. Go to http://www.mercola.com and somewhere on the front page there should be a sign up for the mt online test and 3 months in the private forum with a naturopath trained in MT who helps us.
you receive a very detailed eating plan, w/specific foods and charts to measure and tweak your diet.
Mercola "bought" the right to modify Wolcott's online testing system.
I think this whole thing cost about $70.00 and it is so worthwhile!
Let me know what you decide to do.
Cheers,
Suzanne
What thebirdlady says is correct, the blood type diet doesn't work at all if you are a fast oxidizer (I'm one myself), but Kelley's systems takes this into account.
What I don't understand is that you say that you are type 1, subtype 10. According to the e-book I have (which is the one on his cancer cure, but which also deals with metabolic typing), type 1 contains the subtypes 1, 4 and 6, while type 2 contains subtypes 2, 5 and 7 and type 3 contains 3, 8, 9 and 10. So there's no type 1 subtype 10. Or does he use a different classification system in his other book?
Could you specify in the first place whether you are a sympathetic, parasympathetic of balanced metaboliser, because this is what makes most of the difference.
I had given up on this process and on this thread because I couldn't find anyone experienced with it..
*Thank you* for responding..
I think he may be using a different process in the "Self Test" book. He states in the book that one's subtype is a further refinement of the functional type (p. 73), bu somewhere in there he also states (IIRC) that the subtype represents a deviation from the desired original functional type.
So I was left with the impression that the Subtype is a temporary digression from the basic Functional Type, which one should strive to return to, and then following that 'return', to optimize into the next most efficient type.
What I am looking for is *dietary recommendations*, not an endless stream of bought supplements.
I am lucky in that, although I have quite a high level of joint/muscle pain, apparently I do not fit any diagnosable illness (For which I thank God).
I used the book "Dr. Kelley's Self-Test For The Different Metabolic Types" to work through the test. This book doesn't mention anything about having to be anything else before coming up a 10. I followed his spelled-out procedure exactly, and 10, then subtype of 1 is what the result came up.
I also have his booklet "Metabolic Typing: The Correct Nutrition For Your Body".
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the classification system he uses in his self test book. I tried finding some information about it on the web, but there doesn't seem to be any available for free.
If you can tell me in words what is implied by "functional type 10" and "subtype 1", then I can try to find out for you what your diet should be. For example, do the test results say anything about being a sympathetic (= mainly vegetarian), parasympathetic (= mainly carnivore) or balanced (= mixed) type? And do they speak about being a slow (= mainly carbs), fast (= mainly protein and fat) or mixed oxidizer?
Number 56617 whatever you are doing it sounds like it is making you highly acidic, with all the joint and muscle pain you are. I would check out pH balancing and alkalizing, mineralizing and oxygenizing your system! Being acidic leaves you open to all kinds of complications and potential disease!
For example, as a fast oxidizer, I eat a lot of vegetables to get my alkalizing minerals, as I don't do well on (more than a small amount of) fruit.
I have asked this on Ask Moreless and, although he stresses much more the quality of the food, like for example for fruit ripe or not, in order to determine whether it will be alkalizing or acidifying, he agreed with it that your metabolic type does make a difference also.
Does it matter ! If you test for a certain type and it makes you ill or acidic its the wrong diet for you! The test are designed to fill the bill for every single person that takes it! Its hardly specific and infallible. Plain and simple if you test for a certain type and this diet makes you acidic it is wrong! The best test to decide what foods to eat is through listening to your body, the next is through the use of pH test stix ! If the food makes you sick or if the test stix tell you that you are acidic then make the appropriate changes , do not stick to a diet simply because it says to in a book!
