Metabolic Types originate from human evolution and adaptation
|
To understand why metabolic typing works one must look at the two principles of evolution and adaptation. Over a period of many thousands of years our ancestors developed individualized dietary needs in response to many unique aspects of their habitats--geographic, location, climate, naturally occurring vegetation and food supply. For example, people from cold harsh northern regions of the world typically require meat and fat to sustain themselves, while people from tropical regions generally developed metabolic requirements for much lighter foods such as fruits, grains and vegetables.
