GymRATTi #3 / 9	Eat Right 4 Your Type After studying the Zone, Catkins and Eat Right 4 Your Type[ER4YT]....I like the "Eat Right". The ER4YTdiet is interesting. Its a new concept to dieting. For that reason, people are throwing it out the window. But there may be some merit to it. As a fitness consultant, my clients come from various backgrounds. The majority being 20-50 pounds overweight. Initially, I used a low-calorie & high exercise routine to help them; for some that worked and other it didn't. After a while I had to question these unpredictable results. Why would a routine work for some and not for others. Granted each person was different in their own right. Nonetheless, the people with similar physical attributes still showed variation in their results. Researching this question left me with one conclusion. Everyone needs something different. No single "diet/routine" can meet all of our needs. This created two new questions. 1. What primary factor(s) contributes to weight loss? 2. What makes this factor different in each of our bodys? The first answer- lean muscle tissue. It is the only tissue capable of burning fat. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism. The higher your metabolism, the more calories you burn. The second answer is muscle fiber type. Our bodys have two types of muscle fiber- red and white. Each utilize fat differently. A higher oxidation rate in red fibers allow them to burn fat more efficiently than white fibers. The percentage of red to white fibers will vary from person to person. This explains why some people do better on higher fat diets, while others do better on low-fat diets. [Personally, I've been able to implement this method of training with great success.] So, if your fat burning capabilities are determined by muscle type, why wouldn't {filter} -the fluid controlling your muslces- be a factor as well? More research is defiantly needed in this area. The ER4YT diet may have some merit. But, I don't believe it should be used as a "diet"- rather as an aid to customize your "diet & exercise routines".

Melin #4 / 9	Eat Right 4 Your Type Quote: >What is the general opinion on this book? Did I got it right? Does this book recommend different weight-loss systems for different {filter} types? In that case, it is suitable for those who have need to spend money for crap. {filter} group system comes from the proteins on red {filter} cell, erythrocyte. It has nothing to do with fat burning, metabolism or anything like that.

I think the idea is that although, as you say, the {filter} type has no direct effect on metabolism, the {filter} type is a marker for other genetic variations which do have effects on metabolism, based on the theory that {filter} types have evolved over thousands or tens of thousands of years, along with various other genetic factors that have to do with nutrient digestion, fat storage, fat burning, etc. The {filter} type is simply a convenient marker for the evolutionary "age" of the individual. No, it's not perfect, and yes, everyone's different, but as a general rule, it makes sense to me. (I haven't read the book yet either.) Steve

Clifton Hal #6 / 9	Eat Right 4 Your Type There's a basic prinicple of genetics called the Law of Independent Assortment. If you have two genes that are unrelated, they will be distributed among offspring randomly. For example, eye color and hair color are both inherited, but they are not related. If a blue-eyed blond marries a brown-eyed brunette, their children will not necessarily be one or the other; they may be brown-eyed blonds, etc. The only argument I can think of in favor of the "eat right ..." theory is that until relatively recently (on an evolutionary timescale), different groups of people didn't reproduce with members of other groups. If you were a blue-eyed blond living in Norway, you probably married someone who looked similar to you. Since we know that different ethnic groups have different distributions of {filter} types, and there are some metabolic diffences between ethnic groups (lactose tolerance, etc), there might be some correlation between {filter} type and your type of metabolism. But this is a weak case at best. And no, I haven't read the bood either.

Laurel Amberdin #9 / 9	Eat Right 4 Your Type I have read the book. The author's whole theory is based reactions in the {filter} to toxic cooking.net">food compounds called lectins. Certain {filter} types will react {filter}ly to certain lectins in the {filter}. One little detail that he leaves out though- the lectins are mostly destroyed in cooking, and the ones that are left are detoxified in your stomach. No lectins ever actually make it to your {filter}. -Laurel So Quote: > There's a basic prinicple of genetics called the Law of >Independent Assortment.
