What is Metabolic Typing®?
Metabolic Typing® is a system developed by Bill Wolcott and one that Paul Chek endorses. Understanding the principles of Metabolic Typing® helps you to identify your individual genetically-based nutrition and diet requirements. There is not one diet that is right for everyone, therefore to achieve optimal health, it is helpful to determine what type is right for you. You can find out what your Metabolic Type® is by following the link below and taking the questionnaire. This questionnaire will categorize you as a protein type, a carb type or a mixed type.
You may notice that the diet for a protein type is similar to the popular Zone Diet 1, while the diet for a carb type is closer to the Ornish Diet 2. The great thing about Metabolic Typing® is that it will direct you towards the diet plan that is right for your body.
When answering the questions, circle the answer 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 some of the time (in the morning, but not the evening for example), and answer B suits you other times, choose the one that best reflects how you feel most often on any one given day.
