What I find amusing is that when people are trying to eat healthy they come up with every excuse possible on the planet not to. 

The Responses

One of my favorite is I will have no social life. Another good one, the holidays are coming. Then it goes on to the fact that it is time consuming.

If you evaluate the excuses they are more creative then the ingredient lists for a healthy diet.

Different Shades of Healthy

There is no denying that there is diverse opinion as to what constitutes the healthiest diet. There is no one ideal diet, because we are all unique. We are starting a new way of eating at different stages of our life, with different health challenges

Our needs change throughout life, and to get real benefits what you eat has to benefit you.

Natural Products

This is real test of any diet. This is not a Sara Lee diet; it is a diverse set of ingredients that are increasingly more in tune with nature. Good diet solutions deal with individual needs. Just like no fingerprints are exactly the same so our needs differ.

As you adopt a natural food diet the whole transcript changes. Terms like organic, paleo, and plant food have the credentials to get up close with our lips.

Selling What You Really Need

Our market place has given rise to companies telling you what you need. You can see for yourself that this is agreeable to their bottom line. In fact it is clinically proven that the rise in processed food had been our downfall.

What you avoid is as important as what you buy. Consumer understanding is what has led to the successes of the food industry. They say they made food safer, cleaner, and nutritious. What they did is understand our psyche and marketed well.

I Don’t Think So

For years marketers and supplies have produced chemical specialties that end up in your stomach. As they research new formulations they do it with an attitude of what is next now. They have created excitement with new products that will expand your appetite. They have developed new products to enter the market that will create buzz. They are ambitiously rolling out convenience, hype, and addictive tastes that will fly off the store selves.

What Works

What distinguishes fresh products vs. developed ones is the fact that you cannot replace natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients with artificial substitutes. It is estimated that 85% of the food grown in the U.S. is mineral depleted due to pesticides and insecticides.

Organic only means that all the toxic man made chemicals are not used. Avoiding harm means that the consumer objectives have to be all together different from the companies that are manufacturing our food supply.

There is strong evidence that shows cellular damage from a diet made up with fabricated food.  

You’re Choice

Eating healthy means different things to different people. The natural food advocates are as diverse as they come. They advocate the raw food diet, the green blended smoothies, the high protein diet, the fruitarian diet, and macrobiotic diet. Each of these groups differs among themselves. Every group has helped people overcome some serious health challenges. 

They all are effective in many ways. All of them provide solutions by supplying micronutrients. Contrary to all the dogma there is no one source of nutrients. All these eating plans supply a solution to a man made diet.

Good eating is not over-complicated; the issue is to find the best one for us individually.

The Theory

There is a belief that genes are affected by our family tree. It shows that even though we are all connected, we all are different. This may explain why what makes one person able to manage their weight will not work for others.

Technological breakthroughs can now find the body’s message that clues science into our individual makeup. When we have this blueprint we can soar to new heights. There is a system that delivers this. It takes the best of a low grain diet, adds the right plant based foods, while including the optimal source of protein for us. This is the Metabolic Balance way to health.

For me, I needed something more than either a vegetarian, raw food, fruitarian, or high protein diet. Having done them all for a substantial amount of time, I needed a system that I knew would deliver. Every way of eating naturally offers something, but all are generic versions of someone else’s way of eating. What is needed is an individual foundation to build your own healthy lifestyle.

The expression of your genes is dependent on your environment. By adapting a healthy lifestyle you can take charge of your health and weight. This is the best health insurance.

Biochemical and molecular nutrition is the future of weight management. It boils down to the fact, when someone goes on a diet it has to fit them. This is why generic diets have a high failure rate. People need different proteins, fruits and vegetables. Knowing the differences between dieters is what determines success.

Nutritional genomics is the study of how genes and diet interact. This also will influence cholesterol, and insulin level. Each individual thrives on a particular individualized diet. Proponents of prescribing a personalized diet that identify the ways genes and diet interact say this is the best path to managing weight. Instead of random choices of food, now the focus is on what is primary for your metabolic type.

American Diet

The typical America consumes foods that are not genetically matched to anyone’s gene pool. Since these are mainly manufactured in the last few decades. They are at best substitutes for familiar foods. While these foods may be a way to get calories, they offer none of the same nutritional advantages.

Today it is more confusing than ever when trying to sort out what is the best diet. Just like the food choices are overwhelming so are all the so called diets. There is power in tracing your gene pool or roots. When the dust settles this is your future health plan.

Broken bonds occurred when the American diet went high tech. America is a melting pot of people from far away places, with genetics that reflect their heritage. Now it seems that all the variations in genes come together to embrace fast food and prepackaged food. Americans are thrown off course by the board choice and lure of an abundant food supply.

The Cost

The devil is in the details. Rethinking the world of food, not in total fat, saturated fat, total carbs, and calories, but in genetic blueprints that give meaning to healthy food. The key is to unlock what’s locked away. Then we will have the tools to work with.

Food is a commodity that is the driving force of human energy. We have unique needs, but have been taught that we can to eat anything and everything. This has turned out to be a fantasy. We are not only unfit, we are in danger. Body weight is just one of the problems.

 To The Rescue

Taking charge of your health is getting the right information. To have a healthy relationship with your body you need to know what it needs. That will be a huge relief to your body and to you. Textbook medicine doesn’t work if it can’t identify what your body needs to be healthy.

The way to start is to confirm what your food genotype is, and then proceed to use the information. Metabolic Balance can integrate your personalized diet with your lifestyle. It defines your personalized diet and then offers you the coaching sessions so you implement it successfully.
