This book is a must read if you are interested in food and it's relationship to your health.
We need to learn to honor who we are in the food chain and eat as is best for our body. There is a reason that most nutrition studies never show 100% of the people responding the same way to specific diets; that is because the studies are done on people of various metabolic types.
It is nonsense to believe that all of us have the exact same nutrional needs.
The book is packed with informat More...

The concept of Metabolic Typing is not revolutionary, but nonetheless, profound. Over the century of moving towards a highly commercialized system of food production and consumption, we have almost completely abandoned and forgotten our traditional, ancestral and ethnic ways of eating. Although MT is highly useful and not short of scientific evidence and research, I find that it is easy to get caught up in the "dogma" of Metabolic Typing and again, box yourself into a specific method, More...

I have never looked or felt better, and I apply almost More...

Book was a bit full or more bio-chemistry than I could keep up with at times, but overall a refreshing perspective on the food we eat and that each of us has to find our own combination of food that nourishes our body. While this isn't new news, he is able to explain it and offer stories and perspectives that bring more than many other nutrition books I've read. I've been putting principles to use in my daily life since reading it. Very Good.

I learned about the difference in making what we eat unique to each person. Not everyone has to love meat or eat vegetable all the time it just depends on the person you are. This book helps to figure that out for the person. Interesting unique and thanks simala for recommending it.

I loved this book in that it helped open my eyes a few years ago to realize that the diet I was eating, which I thought was healthy, was the right type of diet which totally was the opposite.

The quiz in the book showed that I needed a higher protein-fat diet rather than the high carbs diet I was consuming. That was one of the reasons why I was not able to drop the bodyfat I wanted.

The book gave me a much clearer understanding of how to change my diet to be better for my More...

This offers some fascinating ideas about how to achieve a truly healthy, natural state.

If I could wish for those of you seeking improved health just one thing: it'd be to begin with this one book. It will literally save you so much time (and money) because you'll avoid the common pitfall of trying one thing after another without success.
