Fatburning Rate Evaluation If someone asked you if "unleaded gas" was a good fuel, what would your answer be? Your best response would be "Oops, wrong question!" Why? Depends on the vehicle. A vehicle designed to use unleaded gas would do fine with that fuel. However, a truck designed to run on diesel fuel would do quite poorly on unleaded gas. So it is with our bodies. Fatburning rate evaluation is the process of determining the best blend of fuel (in this case proteins, carbohydrates and fats) for the human body. In 1919, Dr. Pottenger published a paper that established the autonomic nervous system as the basis for metabolic differences and compared the effect of various nutrients on it. In the 1950's, Dr. Page and Dr. Bieler developed the concept of endocrine types and described the effects various foods and nutrients had on this system of the body. Dr. Roger Williams (biochemist and discoverer of vitamin B5) was involved in the research involving metabolic typing. In the 1980's Dr. William Kelly (well known for his work with terminal cancer patients) was the first to use computer technology to look into Dr. Williams' concept of nutritional individuality. He developed a computerized system of metabolic rate evaluation based on the genetic influence on three main systems of the body with regard to nutritional needs: the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system and the oxidative system. The nutrients focused on included proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Based on these studues, individuals can be categorized into one of three profiles: Fast, Slow and Balanced as follows: Fast Fast is the slow burner and the person with a fast fatburning rate needs a primarily vegetarian diet. They burn food slowly and can gravitate toward soda, candies and sugary foods. The key for this profile is to eat according to the following ratio. Fast eats 70% carbohydrates 20% protein 10% fats Slow Slow is the fast burner and the person with a slow fatburning rate need to eat regularly. They burn their food quickly (even if they are slow movers!). When they consume too many carbohydrates, they appear to crash. They often keep themselves going by sheer willpower. Many children and adults suffering from ADD/ADHD symptoms are fast burners. Fast burners require higher levels of protein and rarely do well on a complete vegetarian diet. Slow eats: 35% carbohydrates 45% protein 20% fats Balanced Balanced is the balanced burner. They are a blend of the other two profiles. Food is rarely an issue for them unless there are allergies. Balanced eats: 50% carbohydrates 40% protein 10% fats
