3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Does anyone know anything about the 'Metabolic Type Diet'?????

It is supposed to match your diet with your metabolic type!

Now regardless of what it REALLY includes it is selling naff science! I mean any site that sells its product with:

The "diet debate" is over. The "diet wars" have ended." The only diet that is right for you is the one that is right for YOUR Metabolic Type. "

is surely trying too hard! They are simialr to, and based on the same ideas as the blood group diets! And they are based on word of mouth stuff - like the original "Dr" who "cured" himself of cancer by using a veggie diet!

Apparently everyone is a metabolic type: carb, protein or mixed: find out which you are here - personally I wouldn't bother - a quick read and you can see how the questions are loaded to supply an answer that fits with the theory - for which you are supposed to pay!

Your metabolic RATE - it isn't a type - is the speed at which your body consumes energy! Think of a car engine - the heavier the car or the faster it moves the more energy is needed more quickly!

Your metabolic system provides your body with energy the same as a car engine does, so a heavier person has a faster metabolic rate than a lighter one and a sedentary person has a slower metabolism than a runner!

The right diet for this is one that balances calories in with calories out!!!

Like any other diet this book may well include lots of common sense and useable tips - but I seriously doubt that the science as advertised would stand up to serious scrutiny!

Sorry I am such a bah humbug on this! I actually don't slam to many diet books - just the ones selling cod science that take your money on false permises and weird and whacky 'scientific' principles - cos I think they set out to con you by pretending to be something they are not - like DOCTOR Gillian McKeith - NOT!!
