Metabolic Typing to Kill Fat and Feed Muscle

The whole idea behind metabolic typing is that you are eating the foods that fuel your body most optimally. There are plenty of carb sources that work great for protein types, such as:

beans
carrots
corn
celery
potatoes
spinach
mushrooms
peas
asparagus
bananas
apples
pears
olives
most whole grains

It sucks though, because for protein types pretty much the only fruit that you should eat are bananas, apples, and pears. Avocados are fruits too, and I think they are alright for protein types. So the fruit choices are limited if you stick strictly to the diet. But, feeling better and functioning better are great.

Been lifting/bodybuilding (not a competitor) for years. Same pattern would always happen to me: eat a lot of carbs and high protein (branched chain amino acids OR 3 cans of tuna/day). Result: muscles always started to feel more amazing, more packed.

But negative: start to become drowsy/sleepy/tired (can't keep my eyes open when sitting down), blood pressure rising to 160/100, sweaty, perpetually nauseated stomach. Always began to feel "out of equlibrium".

Tried to "eat myself back into equlibrium" but could never do it at this point. Why? Why? Why? Then, one night, stumbled onto metabolic typing: slow oxidizers (eat a lot of carbs) vs. fast-oxidizer (need carbs but also more fats in the diet).

I TOTALLY SEE and believe that I fit the profile of a fast-oxidizer. Totally get that. I believe that bodybuilding--expanding the musculature--and eating a high carb, high protein diet went AGAINST my natural metabolic gradient.

I was going into metabolic stress because I believe that when I or anyone expands their musculature, you are "inflating" both your fat-burning (lipolysis) and your carbohydrate-burning (glucogenolysis?). So I cut down the workouts, and included more fats in my diet: flax oil, avocado, Omega 3-6-9 blends made of different oils and fish oils.

Felt better now when lifting the weights. I didn't care about the Omega 3 stuff. I just wanted the oil to bring down my metabolism, keep it from racing, and burn the oil as alternate source of energy.

I take 3 tablespoons/day. Dr. Udo Erasmus is an expert in flax oil, and he advocated more tablespoons. Problem is 1) I can't afford it, and 2) with too much of these oils, you could be more prone to bleeding, which scares me a little.

But I TOTALLY belive in metabolic typing. I also think (personal 2 cents hypothesis) that all the professional bodybuilders are slow-oxidizers (who have muscle potential too and who took steroids too).
