Mixed Type

Welcome to the world of eating right for your metabolic type.  There are few things in life as liberating as discovering your metabolic type and finally coming to understand exactly what foods and food combinations will enable you to enjoy life thoroughly and live it to the fullest.  Most of us have been slaves to our food, however, now the tables have turned.

Once you recognize your metabolic individuality, you are now in control.  Your results indicate that you are a mixed type.  This means you are neither a carbo type or a protein type, you fall somewhere in the middle.  In a sense, you are a mix of the two.  There are two categories of mixed type, Actual and Relative.

An Actual mixed type your characteristics do not display as either protein or carbo type.  You are truly in the middle.  Relative mixed type is slightly different.  You have an equal number of protein characteristics and carbo characteristics.
