? for Bee - Fat and protein intake

[Guest guest]

I have not been here for a while but have just read the updated

article by Bee on how to get started on the diet.

Can Bee or anyone else tell me what is meant by 20% protein and 60%

fat. Is this percentage of the food by calories or what. It sounds

like a lot of fat to protein.

I do well on higher protein and fat as I am a fast metaboliser but on

reading Bill Wolcott's Metabolic Typing Diet it seems as though slow

metabolisers would not tolerate low carbs with more protein and fat.

Do some people have trouble cutting out the carbs?

thanks

Sandy

Hi Sandy. Those percentages are approximate and they are measured by

grams according to the ratios of protein to fat to carbs that I

recommend in my article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " (updated

and revised). You can calculate your own ratios according to your

height as detailed in the A) Candida Diet Folder; but also see the

Fitday.com instructions because grams are not translated to weight of

the foods to eat. You will understand once you read the related

information.

All people have trouble cutting down on carbs, mainly due to addiction

and because they have been using carbs as the main source of energy for

the body. Goods fats are the very best and most efficient source of

energy for the body because it does not require as many resources from

the body in order to be utilized compared to carbs. When you switch

your body over to using good saturated fats as its main energy source

it can create some temporary symptoms but it is well worth it! It is

very important not to consume too much protein in ratio to fats.

I do not believe in categorizing people into fast or slow

metabolisers. Metabolism rates depends upon the person's nutritional

status, which can be corrected and changed by a good diet. After all

human bodies are made the same.
