Eating Right For Your Metabolic Type???
I just finished devouring the book Eat Right for your Metabolic Type by Naturopath Cass Ingram. I first heard Dr. Ingram on radio station WBAI in NYC. I was very impressed by what he had to say. Other folks appear to be impressed too-the book is sold out on both amazon and barnesandnoble.com.
So much of the book made sense and after taking the tests in the book I have determined myself to be Thyroid/Adrenal type. I designed a whole new protocol of supplements based on the principles in this book.
These supplements include:
- B-Complex
- Vitamin C
- A supplement just to support the Adrenal Gland
- A supplement just to support the Thyroid Gland
- Cod Liver Oil (for necessary Omega 3 fatty acids)
- GTF Chromium
- Selenium
- Digestive Enzymes
- Silica(not mentioned in the book just something that I feel is beneficial to me)
- Book specified Multiple Spice Extract a blend of oregano, cumin and cinnamon (which I ordered and expect to receive later in the week)
All I can say ramping up to this regimen starting today -- I had very low cravings for sugar despite not having an ideal lunch. I'll update this thread as time goes on.
Has anyone else found a supplement regimen that has boosted your efforst to eat / live healthier???
Note! This book is not to be confused with "Eat Right for your Type" by Dr. D'Adamo.
Another good day on my new regime. I took another queue from the book and drank a glass of freshly prepared OJ today for breakfast. The OJ supposedly feeds the adrenals. I also ordered some Yacon Root syrup. It is native of Peru and supposedly has ZERO Glycemic index. It is also supposed to be delicious. I'll post about that once I get it.
I just received the rest of my supplements today from vitacost.com Even without the multispice extract and Adrenal and Thyroid stuff I definitely see a difference in my blood sugar levels. Very amazing. I'll incorporate them in slowly(the best way) over the next few weeks....
MEGAFOOD Brand of Supplements
I love this brand of supplements! I just placed a huge order and THEN I realized that I would have like to have ordered one more item.
What is great about these products is that they are comprised of FOOD. They can be taken of an empty stomach and are assimilated way better than the typical vitamin you find at Walmart and such places. The best price for these supplements are online at www.vitacost.com
Michael Moore's new Documentary....
Is called 'Sicko' and it is about the US Healthcare system. In a part of the film, he takes ailing 9/11 first responders to Cuba for medical care that they were not getting in the US.
I have heard that Cuba uses a lot of homeopathy, and alternative medicine because it can not afford to practice the kind of medicine that they do in the US.
I personally think that alternative medicine is better than allopathic.
I can't wait to see the film. I hope the sick 9/11 first responders were helped!
