06. Metabolic Typing Questionnaire

This questionnaire is designed to help you determine the optimal macronutrient ratio (fats, proteins, carbohydrates) to begin the process of fine-tuning your body’s feedback mechanisms. For those of you who are not sure what a fat, protein, or carbohydrate is, let me simplify that for you. If the food comes from something that has a set of eyes, it is going to be higher in fats and proteins; fats and proteins most often come together in nature. Foods like vegetables, breads and cereals do not come from a source that has a set of eyes and are generally much higher in carbohydrates and lower in fat and protein. There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as nuts and avocados, which have no eyes, yet are high fat foods. When answering the questions, choose the answer that best describes the way you feel, not the way you think you should eat!

  • Please complete this form in one sitting. Incomplete forms cannot be saved.

  • If none of the answers suit you with regard to a particular question, simply don’t answer that question.

  • If answer A suits you some of the time (in the morning but not the evening for example), and answer B suits you other times, you may choose both provided that the answers refer to how you may feel on any given day, not within a period of 24 hours.

  • To score your test, total the number of times you chose A and the number you chose B.

  • ➢ If your number of A answers is three or more than B answers, you are a Protein Type ➢ If your number of A and B answers are tied within two of each other, you are a Mixed Type ➢ If your number of B answers is three more than A answers, you are a Carbo Type
