DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ!
How eating for your body type will help you steer clear of dietary distress!

Ever wonder what foods you can eat? If you're carefully watching your diet, sometimes listening to the news can drive you into dietary distress. One day, the top news story screams that eggs are a no-no. Six months later, you learn eggs are really OK — as long as you eat them "in moderation." In the meantime, you're trying to assimilate all this wildly fluctuating information and come up with a solid eating plan. And if you're choosing the wrong foods for your type, your weight and your mood may be fluctuating along with the news reports.

Mom was right — don't believe everything you read and hear. Just because the media says a certain food is good for you doesn't mean that it's true. In fact, what's considered "healthy" food may actually cause weight gain or physical discomfort. For instance, whole wheat bread is jam-packed full of complex carbohydrates, and a healthy taste treat. However, when you consider if whole wheat bread is good for your type, the whole game changes. Of the 25 body types, only the Adrenal and Stomach types can eat whole wheat bread without digestive distress. Nine other body types: Gallbladder, Gonadal, Heart, Kidney, Liver, Lung, Pancreas, Pituitary and Thyroid should eliminate whole wheat bread completely, or only enjoy it once a month.

Thinking about eating "rabbit food" to lose those extra ten pounds? You may want to reconsider. Another common dietary misconception is, "If you eat raw fruits and vegetables, you'll lose weight." This seems logical enough — after all, how many calories does an apple have? However, if you've ever gone on a fresh fruit diet, you may have experienced the opposite extreme - weight gain. The reason why you may have gained weight is because eating only raw food for an extended time (especially if you just eat fruit) can stress the body, causing it to produce excess hormones. And guess where those excess hormones go to find a home? That's right, your weight gain areas. Unless you're a healthy Adrenal (theultimate "rabbit food" dieters), the end result is that you may still not feel good and you still gain weight. How defeating!

Different Bodies, Different Diets, by Carolyn L. Mein, D.C., cuts through the clutter and allows you to eat the foods that are right for you. The step-by-step meal plan clearly explains if a food is good for your type, how often you should enjoy it and the foods to combine with it. No media hype. No "new studies" (which seem to change in opinion every year). These are the foods and quantities that work best for your body and system, keeping you safely in balance.

So, turn off that TV news show and tune into your own body's needs. Doesn't that sound a whole lot less confusing?
