METABOLIC TYPE II DIET PLAN KETOGENIC DIET
(GOOD METABOLIZER)
CHARACTERISTICS:
Metabolic Type II people are the true carnivores (meat eaters) and can almost live on meat alone.
Their genetic background is usually from Germany, Scandinavian and northern European countries.
They are extremely prone to hypoglycemia so they must stay away from a lot of simple sugars (junk foods) like soda, alcohol (hard liquor), fruit juice, and candy.
Metabolic Type II people derive their energy mostly from sources of fat rather than carbohydrates.
This type does well with a lot of red meat such as beef, veal, pork, wild game and lamb, every day. You are a ”true” meat and potatoes, man/woman.
As far as seafood is concerned you like oily seafood (cold water fish, high omega oils) such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel, and shellfish with butter. In fact, you like your seafood fried.
THIS METABOLIC TYPE:
• Burns sugar (carbohydrates) rapidly and inefficiently causing your blood sugar to rise and fall rapidly, giving you spikes of energy followed by bouts of fatigue. You do well with most carbohydrates including carbohydrates that have a mid-range (50-80) glycemic index.
2. You do well with cooked and raw vegetables. Your diet should be rich in, fresh cooked and uncooked vegetables that should make up between 30-40-% of you meal. Stay away from a lot of fruits and green leafy vegetables and stick with your hearty vegetables such as potatoes, yams, beets, corn and brussel sprouts
3. 60-70% of your foods should be derived from the Acid Forming Foods Chart and 30-40% from the Alkaline Forming Foods Chart (See About Your Blood Test manual). Use red meats, fowl (dark meat and skin) and oily fish as your primary sources of protein, and eggs, cheeses, nuts, seeds and beans as your secondary sources of protein.
4. Stress the following foods in your diet (A-F), because they all contain protein, fat and fat-soluble vitamins (D, E, K, A):
A. Red meats such as beef, veal, lamb, pork and wild game.
B. Oily seafood.
C. Fowl (chicken/turkey dark meat with the skin.
D. Moderate amounts of dairy such as whole milk, natural
