Mastering Metabolism and Weight Loss

ByPeter K Black

Losing weight is a crucial part in keeping a healthy lifestyle in and out. With weight loss, you lose the risk to diseases such as gastrointestinal and cardiovascular problems to name a few. Losing weight also does wonders for your self esteem and gaining a positive self concept, a kind of self fulfillment from hard work and discipline it entails to lose weight.

Your metabolism can help you achieve proper weight loss, if indentified correctly. Now, you must determine you metabolism type. In simpler terms, metabolism is the breakdown of food and its transformation to energy. There are three types of metabolism: the Carb Type, the Protein Type and the Mixed Type. All three require appropriate ratios and kinds of healthy proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Determining the metabolism has been an old tool used by doctors and health practitioners to measure how fast or slow a person can gain weight.

The Carb type are those that usually have a weak appetite. These are the goal oriented individuals who skip meals and say that eating is a luxury. Carb type individuals tend to overeat on baked good and starchy vegetables which may lead to diabetes. For carb type people to effectively lose weight, their diet must consist of more carbohydrates and less proteins and fats. Ideal sources of protein must include white fish and white meat poultry. Although the Carb type can tolerate carbohydrates more than the other types, it does not permit them not to gain weight in carb binges. So always bear in mind that moderation is key.

The second type of metabolism is the Protein type. These people tend to crave burgers, pizza, steaks, sausages. Mostly meaty products consist a protein type person's diet. In order to lose weight it is advised that a protein type person must have a high protein and a low carbohydrate diet, but this also means that you need to be balanced in this kind of diet. You should eat protein at every snack or meal. This will help you control your blood sugar levels and leave you satiated and full all day. It is also important to avoid refined carbohydrates such as bread, biscuits and most especially pasta and also to avoid intake of fruit juices. And remember to always eat small frequent meals.

The last type is Mixed type. A mixed type person must eat equal proportions of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Since this is the easiest kind of metabolism to lose weight in. there are more food choices to choose from. You should be aware or familiar with the carb type and protein types diets, since most of the food they are permitted to be eaten can also be your meal plan source.

Once you've figured out how the different kinds of metabolism work for you, you will be able to lose weight with your knowledge. Also remember that to effectively lose weight one must have a proper positive attitude, discipline and determination.
