The Metabolic Types

Individuals can be classified into 12 metabolic types.

By classifying each person into their own proper type, it is possible to determine accurately which foods would best support his or her own body chemistry. Equally important, it is possible to know what foods they should not have.

The autonomic nervous system plays a major role in the classification of the metabolic types.

Sub Groups of Metabolic Typing

Group A:

Sympathetic Dominant
Metabolic Type 1,4,6,11
Semi-Vegetarian Type
Carbohydrate Tolerant

Group B:

Balanced Autonomic Nervous System (Sympathetic/Parasympathetic)
Metabolic Type 3, 8, 9, 10
Mixed Type

Group C:

Parasympathetic Dominant
Metabolic Type 2, 5, 7, 12
Carnivore Type
Carbohydrate Intolerant

Group A

Category (Sympathetic Nervous System Dominance)

Type 1

Semi-vegetarian type – can live comfortably on fruits, vegetables like romaine, kale, chard, etc.

  1. Sympathetic Dominant
  2. Semi-Vegetarian Type
  3. Closest to being purely sympathetic dominant
  4. Better at maintaining blood glucose levels
  5. pH – needs to increase alkaline state
  6. 60-20-20 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  7. Carbohydrate – Protein Adjusted

Type 4

Non-strict semi-vegetarian – cross between a strict vegetarian and balanced metabolizer. Needs 113 gm. or so a day of animal protein, in addition to fruits, vegetables and nuts. Acceptable proteins include eggs, dairy products, beans, chicken and fish.

  1. Sympathetic Dominant
  2. Non-Strict Semi-Vegetarian Type
  3. sympathetic dominant
  4. Better at maintaining blood glucose levels
  5. pH – needs to increase alkaline state
  6. 60-20-20 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  7. Carbohydrate – Protein Adjusted

Type 6

A poorly metabolizing semi-vegetarian – cuts across the other two vegetarian types. Needs a 30% greater volume of food, since nutrients are not absorbed as well.

  1. Sympathetic Dominant
  2. Non-Strict Semi-Vegetarian Type
  3. Poor metabolizes
  4. pH – needs to increase alkaline state
  5. 60-20-20 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  6. Carbohydrate – Protein Adjusted
  7. Requires More Nutritional Support

Type 11

The ones of logical cause and effect creative comprehension. They do not need a lot of food and seem to have an unending supply of energy. They like vegetables and fruit.

  1. Sympathetic Dominant
  2. Mixed Semi-Vegetarian Type
  3. Optimal Metabolizes
  4. pH – needs to increase alkaline state
  5. 60-20-20 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  6. Carbohydrate – Protein Adjusted

Conditions that Semi-Vegetarians are prone to:

People with a semi-vegetarian metabolism are prone to infections, yet they are highly resistant to colds and flu. They are also highly prone to constipation, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, hardening of the arteries and cancer.

General Guidelines for Semi-Vegetarian Metabolizers:

  1. Folic Acid (in form of Methylfolate) – 2 to 5 mg. a day
  2. Niacin – 100 mg.
  3. B-1, B-2, B-6 – about 200 mg. each
  4. B-12 – 1000mcg
  5. B-15 – not more than 50 mg.
  6. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – up to 10,000 mg. per day
  7. Vitamin D – 400 I.U. daily
  8. Vitamin K – 3 to 6 mg. a day
  9. Biotin – 150-200 mcg. daily
  10. Potassium, manganese, chromium and zinc supplementation may be advisable, but stay away from iron supplements
  11. Hydrochloric Acid
  12. Pancreatic Enzymes – 3 per meal

 

Group B

The Balanced Category (Autonomic Nervous System Balanced)

Type 3

Poor metabolizer – absorbs only 10-15% of food intake. Has to eat enormous amounts of food to get enough nutrition into the body. Needs more enzymes and hydrochloric acid.

  1. Balanced Autonomic Nervous System
  2. 40-30-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  3. Carbohydrate – Fat & Protein Adjusted

Type 8

It doesn’t matter what people in this type eat as long as it’s nutritious. Enjoy and benefit from food from both vegetarian and meat-eating categories.

  1. Balanced Autonomic Nervous System
  2. 40-30-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  3. Carbohydrate – Fat & Protein Adjusted

Type 9

Same as Type 8, except these people crave cooked food and are very uncomfortable with raw food. Need 70%- 80% cooked food in the diet to feel their best.

  1. Balanced Autonomic Nervous System
  2. 40-30-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  3. Carbohydrate – Fat & Protein Adjusted

Type 10

Super-efficient metabolizer – needs very small amounts of food. Can eat half as much as normal people yet feel satisfied and unbelievably peppy. Needs very little sleep.

  1. Balanced Autonomic Nervous System
  2. 40-30-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  3. Carbohydrate – Fat & Protein Adjusted

General Guidelines for Mixed Metabolizers:

  1. Balanced Multi Vitamin
  2. Balanced Multi mineral
  3. HCl
  4. Pancreatic Enzymes

 

The Meat Eating Category (Parasympathetic Nervous System Dominance)

Type 2

The extremely carnivorous person – feels better when he/she eats meat every day – up to 14 oz. of beef, venison, lamb, sardines or salmon. Needs and enjoys butter and cream. Non-green vegetables are particularly good, such as cauliflower, mushrooms and cabbage.

  1. Parasympathetic Dominant
  2. Carnivore
  3. Closest to being purely parasympathetic dominant
  4. pH – Do not increase alkaline state
  5. 20-50-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  6. Carbohydrate – Fat Adjusted

Type 5

Cross between extreme meat-eater and person with balanced metabolism. Needs meat, but can go several days without it and have no problems.

  1. Parasympathetic Dominant
  2. Carnivore
  3. pH – Do not increase alkaline state
  4. 20-50-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  5. Carbohydrate – Fat Adjusted

Type 7

A cross between the meat-eaters (Types 2 & 5) and the poor metabolizer (Type 3). Needs greater volume of food. Needs more enzymes (5-9) per meal and 1 hydrochloric acid per meal.

  1. Parasympathetic Dominant
  2. Carnivore
  3. pH – Do not increase alkaline state
  4. 20-50-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio

  6. Requires More Nutritional Support

Type 12

Very active people orientated creative healthy individuals. They need meat daily to function best. Root vegetables give them long term energy. They do not need large volumes of food as they digest and metabolize their food well.

  1. Parasympathetic Dominant
  2. Carnivore
  3. Optimal Metabolizers
  4. pH – Do not increase alkaline state
  5. 20-50-30 (Carbohydrates-Protein-Fat) Ratio
  6. Carbohydrate – Fat Adjusted

Conditions that Meat-eaters are prone to:

People with a meat-eating metabolism are likely to have such ailments as oily hair, dandruff, or acne. They are also more likely than average to have more serious conditions such as osteo-arthritis, ulcers, mucous colitis, severe headaches, diarrhea, low blood sugar, or even the tendency toward a massive heart attack. If the person is a male, he is much more prone than the average male to have sexual problems such as premature ejaculation. If the person is a female, she too is much more prone to be unable to gain full sexual satisfaction.

General Guidelines for Meat-eating Metabolizers:

  1. Eat before bedtime – you’ll sleep better
  2. RNA – from sardines, salmon, mushrooms, or RNA supplements Carrot Juice – a pint a day
  3. B-complex – pantothenic acid, niacinamide, inositol, choline
  4. B-15 – up to 500 mg. a day
  5. Vitamin A – 10,0001.U. daily, Vitamin E – 1200 I.U. daily
  6. Vitamin B-12 – 500 mcg. daily, Bioflavonoids – 500 mg. daily
  7. Limit B-1, B-2, B-6 intake to 50 mg. a day and stay completely away from niacin supplements
  8. Stay away from Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid and use instead calcium ascorbate, up to 10 grams per day. If you have cancer, you would be better off with sodium ascorbate unless you are on a sodium restricted diet.
