Characteristics

Type VI people are very poor metabolizers, meaning they handle most foods poorly. They often have difficulty
with digestion, absorption, and metabolism of all food types. They require most foods cooked and need more supplementation
than the average person. They should emphasize whole and complete foods while eliminating refined, processed, and synthetic items.

There is usually suppressed immune and endocrine system function in this type.

This Metabolic Type

  • Burns sugar (carbohydrates) inefficiently and uses sugar for energy. Carbohydrates should be whole, complete,
    unrefined, and cooked.
  • Can eat mostly cooked vegetables and fruits; avoid raw whenever possible. Meals should include
    50–60% fresh, cooked vegetables and fruits (including desserts).
  • 50–60% of foods should come from the Alkaline Forming Foods Chart and
    40–50% from the Acid Forming Foods Chart (see About Your Blood Test manual).
    All red animal meats must be eliminated. Use beans, fish, and fowl as primary protein sources; nuts, seeds,
    eggs, and cheeses as secondary proteins.
  • Emphasize the following (A–E):

Cook most foods, eliminate refined products, and balance proteins from plant and lean animal sources—supplementation may be required.
