holistic weight loss
If you're seeking to lose
weight or maintain your ideal weight, the essential first step is to eat a
metabolically appropriate diet. No other single factor will exert more
influence on your ability to manage your weight effectively.
Unless you're eating according to your metabolic type, you'll struggle with
excess weight. Why? Because following a diet that's wrong for you will disrupt
your cellular oxidation. In other words, your cells will not have the ability
to efficiently convert nutrients into the energy they need to conduct
life-sustaining metabolic activities.
So, whenever you consume calories in a form your cells can't use, or in a form
that's not ideal for them, your cells simply can't do a good job of burning the
calories, or converting the food and nutrients you eat into energy. And
whenever calories cannot get burned or oxidized as "body fuel," they
get stored as fat instead.
This is the reason why some people stay slim and energized on various kinds of
high-protein, high-fat diets while other people feel sluggish and gain weight
by eating this way. Conversely, some people are able to stay trim and fit on
low-protein, low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets, while these same diets cause
others to pack on the Kilo's and be chronically fatigued.
Everyone is different, and everyone needs to identify the specific foods and
food combinations that are best for their own unique body chemistry.
Fortunately, Metabolic Typing is a breakthrough that provides you with
all the tools and information you need to identify a diet that's precisely
right for you.
To give you a clearer understanding of just how important it is to eat
according to your metabolic type, and what kinds of things can go wrong if
don't feed your body what it needs, consider the following example:
Jack is a “Fast Oxidiser”, which means he needs to eat a diet based on significant
quantities of protein and fat. He definitely needs to eat protein at every meal
and snack, and to limit his overall consumption of carbohydrates (such as
grains, fruits and vegetables) to roughly 30% of each meal.
However, if Jack ignores his requirement for a high proportion of protein and
fat at each meal, and instead eats liberally of carbohydrates whenever he feels
like it, here's what is likely to happen:
* his body will compensate by breaking down muscle tissue for protein
* his adrenal and thyroid glands won't function properly
* the parasympathetic branch of his autonomic nervous system will be
strengthened
* the above occurrences will cause his metabolic rate to drop
* his body will produce excess insulin, a hormone which directs the body to
store fat, as opposed to burning fat for energy
* fat storage will be increased because his cells will be unable to carry on
normal and efficient oxidative processes
A customised diet will provide you with much more than a way to help you shed
kilo’s in the short term – only to have your weight reappear again. It’s a
process that enables you to optimize your health in a permanent way, by
balancing the homeostatic mechanisms that control all aspects of your
metabolism. Metabolic Typing provides the foundation for long term weight loss
and perfect health.
At
nutrilogical, along with customised nutrition, we also explore any underlying
factors which may be contributing to weight gain. Our weight loss treatment
assesses each case individually, designing an eating plan that is correct for
the individual’s metabolism and investigating contributing factors such as:
• Insulin resistance/Syndrome X /Hormonal
imbalance
• Liver function/detoxification
• Emotional eating/food addiction
• Heavy metal toxicity
• Stress
• Food allergies/sensitivities
Once the problem is identified, we will correct any metabolic imbalances with
the use of nutritional supplements, herbal medicines, correct nutrition and
exercise. The focus will be on rebuilding health and once balance is returned
to the body and correct lifestyle practices are in place one of the many happy
side effect’s is not only steady, consistent fat loss, but also improved
energy, sleep, mood and vitality.
