Characteristics of Your Metabolic Type

Characteristics of Your Metabolic Type

Many Protein Types share similar characteristics. However, if you’re a Protein Type, that doesn’t mean you’re like everyone else in your metabolic category in the way you react to foods, your strengths and weaknesses, your energy level, the strength of your appetite, and so on. After all, you’re unique on a metabolic level!

Nonetheless, here are some typical tendencies you may have in common with other Protein Types:

Strong Appetites

• Protein types tend to have strong appetites to“the point of being ravenously hungry a great deal of the time. You may feel the need to eat frequently, though you’re also likely to have a hard time feeling satisfied with meals and snacks. In addition, you probably have a tendency to overeat sometimes, perhaps even stuffing yourself to the bursting point, only to find that you’re still hungry.

Cravings for Fatty, Salty Foods

• Protein types typically gravitate toward rich, fatty, salty foods like sausages, pizza, and roasted and salted nuts. However, if you stray too far from these heavier foods and consume too many carbohydrates, you may quickly find yourself craving sugar. The likelihood is that the more you eat anything sweet, the stronger your cravings become. And sugar most likely causes your energy to drop or makes you feel nervous and jittery.

Failure with Low-Calorie Diets

• You may have tried to lose weight by cutting calories, only to find your weight either increased or stayed the same. Or perhaps you’ve had the willpower to try radical measures like fasting or the “grapefruit diet,” but were astonished to find that your weight actually increased despite these severe deprivation approaches.

Fatigue, Anxiety, Nervousness

• Characteristically, those with your metabolic type have energy problems of one kind or another—either lethargy or a “hyped-up” kind of superficial energy. In other words, you might have low, “flat” energy, and be prone to feeling apathetic, depressed, listless, and sleepy. Or you might feel “wired” or “on edge” on the surface of things, while feeling exhausted underneath. When you feel anxious, nervous, jittery, or shaky, eating probably makes you feel better.

• If any of these situations describes you, it’s a clear indication that you’re pumping the wrong kind of “body fuel” into your “engine of metabolism".
