This book is so advanced in it's approach to diet and nutrition that all other so-called diet books are now obsolete. I have been using Wolcott's book and system in my practice as a medical nutritionist and have found that it addresses every single problem I encounter. His determination of a person's "type" is simple and direct and the results are fantastic. This book is the only book a patient or healthcare provider will ever need to understand individual nutritional needs. It is easy to read and understand and is a must-have for anyone who is interested in optimum health.

You have to read this book from start to finish! You don't have to really, but that's what I ended up doing because it reads well and puts me at ease with the concept of food, nutrition, and health. I find this effect on me remarkable because various contradictory approaches to health have been dissected and exposed, as the author explains his approach with a nice tinge of history. Likewise, the author summarizes some complementary approaches to Metabolic Typing, and for this reason I find the book balanced and not self-serving. It is well-referenced and provides a good starting point to living a healthy food-centered lifestyle. After reading Fast Food Nation, I realize how important it is for use to invest our time in modifying our eating lifestyle. This book provides a more compelling reason for us to have a conscious determination of what we eat. Lastly, this book takes a big step in standing on its head medicine as it is commonly practiced, with its blockbuster silver bullet approach toward disease as a reactive palliative to an unhealthy lifestyle of fastfoods. |

This book really makes a lot of sense. My doctor recommended it to me, and he swears by it.
With this book, I've been able to identify my own metabolic type (it's not what I thought it was!) and I've realized some very important things about how my body works, and how it reacts to certain foods.
This is not a "simple" sort of fix. It takes some trial and error in the diet, to find out what is actually occuring with the body, and it's not as easy as Atkins or a low-fat diet. BUT, it's designed for each person's particular metabolism, and takes into account that some foods make some people sick, while they work well for others.
I recommend an interested person read through this book several times, and retake the test as you go along. I found that when I took the first test, I was not as aware of my body as I should have been. The results were different when I took the test again later, after working on the diet for a while.
I do think this is the solution for people who have been struggling to find a diet that works. |

A group of scientists and clinicians have identified specific dietary needs of individual systems, and called it metabolic typing. There's a simple multiple choice self-test to help determine your metabolic type: 1. protein 2. carbo 3. mixed. Each type corresponds to a specific diet. In following the suggested options, you customize your diet according to your ever -changing needs. It is an attempt to demonstrate the body's superior capacity to regulate and heal itself, once it's given the right raw materials to work with. Eat according to your metabolic type. The book is clear, written in a simple easy to follow style. It includes, "frequently asked questions with answers", "fat burning vs weight loss". "getting adequate protein", "listening to your body", helpful tips on organizing and implementing your diet, as well as a troubleshooting test. This is not just another approach to diet and nutrition. Well worth reading. |

This book will be helpful for people who want to understand nutrition and metabolism in a way they can use. Instead of just saying "do this," Wolcott lays out a coherent system for understanding how people burn their food quite differently, and why "one man's meat" is literally "another man's poison." He offers a tool for finding your own spot on the playing field of metabolic functioning. Only then does he say, "If your body uses food in this way, do this; if your body uses food in that way, do that."
I am prejudiced; Wolcott's work saved my life. His program takes some effort to master and apply to your daily eating habits. The payoff is that you end up eating just the right things for YOU, and you will feel better than you thought possible.
I would expect that at first, this book will mainly be used by people working to recover from chronic illnesses or fatigue, on the one hand, and by athletes who need top energy production, on the other. In the big picture, it shifts our perspective from "one size fits all" nutrition to individual nutrition that really does fit. As this perspective spreads through the nutritional world, the average person is going to get much better advice, and everyone's health will benefit. |

I loved this book. I've read so many books on health and weight loss, especially for women nursing infants. I'm also an avid weightlifter, trying to lose the excess weight that was gained from my high risk pregnancy.
I learned so much from this book about my body. It didn't do a one-size fits all eating plan for people, but helped you determine what was right for your specific body. It also explained the various body types in a reasonably easy-to-read format. The details helped me understand my body at a level that I haven't gotten in other books. Some books were way complicated, others just made too light of a tough subject.
Wolcott did a good job explaining the various systems in the body. I'm so interested in the biochemistry of the body that I'm thinking about going to graduate school to learn more.
I've been able to apply the things I've learned in Wolcott's book to determine my Metabolic Typing, which was a strong Protein. I never realized I needed as much protein as I needed, which would explain why my workouts were getting worse, and worse and why my milk production was not good. I also was always feeling internally tired, yet on the surface level, very high energy. This book was able to pinpoint the things going on in my body when I wasn't eating for my metabolic typing.
Once I started eating according to my metabolic typing, my body has been losing ~0.5% bodyfat per week for the past 2 months consistently. That's in the 1-2 lbs of bodyfat per week. I've been consistently regaining back my strength and still maintaining my lean body mass. My focus is back. I'm also able to gradually kick up my workout intensity.
As I lose more bodyfat, I'll probably have to adjust my macronutrient ratio. Wolcott's book explains how to do this. I've also been able to apply Wolcott's information in helping my 4 yr old daughter with her diet. It's the first time anything has really ever worked to help her with her severe eczema.
There's something to this. Eating what your body wants helps to bring the body to balance. Oh, forgot to mention, by eating my metabolic typing, I've been able to control my blood pressure without meds. I basically exercise regularly, reduce stress, sleep enough, eat what I thought was healthy but turned out the macronutrient ratio I was eating was all wrong for my body, which was causing my high blood pressure and heart condition. Now that I'm eating my metabolic typing, my heart is returning to normal along with my blood pressure.
Thank you Mr. Wolcott. |

As a natural health oriented clinician(DC) and nutritionist, I welcome the arrival of this book. Being familiar with the work of most of the doctors/researchers that were sources of reference & inspiration for Mr. Wolcott I am aware of the difficulty in distilling vast amounts of information into one volume. Admittedly, this is a book for the lay reader. As such, some concepts may appear simplistic and/or superficial. However this book represents a giant step in the direction of self-determination and responsibility regarding one's health. If the more "sophisticated" reader/consumer desires more in-depth analysis, he/she can visit Mr. Wolcott's web site at healthexcel.com and peruse the info and options. Although some reviewers attempt to discredit this work, and some cherished or pet beliefs seem to be tossed out, the bottom line is: Is this valid? Does it work? Is it safe?
My response is this: Give this program 90 days-your own health challenges probably took more than a few months to develop so to unravel it may require a little time-be patient-after 90 days you can always revert to previous methods or modes. |

After years of searching for a solution to my negative response to many foods, this book has provided me with the answers I was seeking. According to the questionnaire I am a protein type. The exact opposite of what I have been told and always believed.
No more constant hunger, no more intense itching and the edema is but a fraction of what it was. All of this in less than one month. I would have liked to see some recipes included, but that should in no way deter anyone from purchasing this valuable book. Thank you William Linz Wolcott for your time spent in research and the time it took to put this information on paper. I have shared this info with my friends who are also getting amazing results.

I am retired, 72, and in not-so-good health; not bad, but not-so-good. I have been reading The Metabolic Typing Diet book for a few weeks and have been instituting several of the recommendations. I can see and feel vital improvement in my health condition versus what I had to start with. I recommend using this book as a follow-on to Dr. Mercola's Total Health Program book. I recomend these books and their information and processes for individual work and for small groups.

I had been very sick for over 6 years. I had tried many different programs but it wasn't until I starting working through the principles of Metabolic Typing that my body really started to heal. I have found the ideas in this book so valuable that I am now a Metabolic Typing Adviser myself. All of my clients respond excellently to the nutritional and lifestyle protocol laid out in this book.
Thank you very much, William Wolcott.
