When one eats a high-carbohydrate diet the metabolism is hyped by the insulin rush. This does not mean a person is a "carbohydrate type." Everyone gets a metabolic rush from eating carbs. This is why the low-carbohydrate diet lowers the metabolism which has been proven scientifically to increase longevity.

The "Metabolic Type" diet theories are based on this response. If you like carbohydrates and eat a lot it zings your metabolism and therefore you must be a high-metabolism carb type. This is circular reasoning and a just a bunch of nonsense to sell a book.

When I used to eat a lot of carbs I had a high metabolism, naturally that is what carbs do. Using the stupid metabolic typing reasoning I should have stayed on the high-carbohydrate diet that was making me very sick. The low-carb diet restored my health and lowered my metabolism to a healthy state.

Don't believe this Metabolic Typing Diet nonsense.
