I'm reading the book "Winning by Losing" by Jillian Michaels. I am interested in the Metabolic Typing that she talks about to try to lose the rest of the weight that I have to lose. I've tried to take the test in her book, but I get really mixed up trying to answer the questions truthfully. It's hard for me to decide if I should answer the questions the way I would have before I lost weight (the way I ate at the time) or the way I have trained myself to eat (which is not necessarily the foods I would instinctually choose). So after going back and forth, I thought it would be simpler to take the niacin test. Can anyone who has done that tell me where they were able to find a small enough dosage of niacin? The smallest I have seen is 100 mg and Jillian says to use 50 mg. I could cut the 100 mg tablet, but it is a non-flushing type so that would negate the whole test anyway.
By the way, so far the results of the tests show that I may be a fast oxidizer, and I've always thought that I could eat a little more and could lose a little faster when I was eating fewer carbs. But I don't know if I can give up my daily bowl of oatmeal. And I guess until I really know that I need to, I'm not willing to forgo them.
Thanks for any help or comments anyone has about finding the niacin or metabolic typing in general.
