Thread: Where to find metabolic type

Belmont, a strange question but
what happens to the composition of the egg if you remove the yolk?

The EFA's are in the yolk.

Whites are a protein source.

The yolk also contains protein, so apart from removing the EFA's (and other minerals) you also remove about 50% of the protein :).

Here the values for an average large egg

Protein g. Whole 6.25 White 3.52 Yolk 2.78
Fat g. Whole 5.01 White -- Yolk 5.12
Total carbohydrate--g. Whole 0.61 White 0.34 Yolk 0.3

thankyou guys :)

hi, i wanted to take the mt test on line but i don't hav a credit card, i live in the geelong area and make a lot of trips down to melbourne, would anyone know of any good mt test sites/places that accept cash/bank card or somewhere along those lines?

I can provide you with the Advanced MT Program.

Please refer to the post in the special offers to sizematters members specials section of the forum.

No CC required.

Belmont is a great source of knowledge and I strongly recommend him to anyone who is unsure of where to start, or needs a diet fine tuned :).

Hey Polar, i havent got a credit card either. Belmont did mine. I havent looked back since taking the test and getting the resukts. I think that it has been really worthwhile for myself and would advise anyone else to do it too

Belmont, what about dextrose as a carb good or bad?

This is not an easy or short answer to this question. From an MT perspective there is no one nutrient that is good for everyone. There is also no one nutrient that is bad for everyone.

I regards to dextrose it is not the quality of the nutrient but rather the ultimate effect the nutrient has on the dominant fundamental homeostatic control system in the given individual's metabolic type e.g. a simple carbohydrates (sugar) effect on the oxidative system.

Nutrients may behave differently on different levels e.g. calcium is catabolic at the cellular level and anabolic at the tissue level.

To add a bit of personal opinion from common questions I get - I believe that the need for excessive carbohydrates and processed protein powders is the product of commercial marketing and manufacturing. I educate all my clients to eat in accordance with their metabolic types. Even snacks must contain the right ratio of carbs to proteins and fats.

I doubt Eskimos drank Gatorade before paddling a kayak for hours or trekking cross country :-)

I recommend after training, allow ONE additional serving of any REAL FOOD carbohydrate. So, for example, a protein type could eat one additional carrot with their post workout meal. This will give mild elevation of insulin, yet will not cause significant enough blood sugar fluctuation to result in the release of cortisol to trigger stored glycogen release from the liver.

In summary I am not implying that dextrose is 'bad' but rather its effect will be very individual. It may improve you, do nothing or make you worse. This is where fine tuning (listening to your body) becomes the most important aspect of metabolic typing.

Hi All
