Often
we are asked what makes the Healthy and Active program different from other
fitness plan or lifestyle overhaul strategies. The answer is very simple. The results of your blood chemistry profile
and your in person evaluation create a profile of what exactly it is that you
need to optimize your health.
The Latest Fad Diet Is Not
For Everyone
For
years nutritional experts have been prescribing “one size fits all “ type
diets, whether they be high protein, low fat or low carbohydrate. Advocates of these diets promised that
everybody would lose weight if they would just stick to these regimens, however
the truth is that these diets appeared to only work sporadically for some
people. Also it is hard not to note the failure of many of these diets, which
left some people with rebound weight gain and victims of the ever-growing epidemic
in diabetes.
Of
course all of these fad diet failures have left many people wondering, “What’s
the right diet for me?”
One
important aspect of the Happy and Active program that it is tailored to suit
the needs of each individual as it is partly based on identifying your
metabolic type (in reality a combination of sub-types) and then prescribing
dietary changes and lifestyle choices according to that.
The Right Diet For You Is In
Your Genetics

| HUMAN DNA |
Part
of your Healthy and Active evaluation is having your blood is analyzed for 42
different components by your Healthy and Active Practitioner, who will be able
to tell, from looking at this profile, what types of genetic predisposition you
have towards certain problems and what sorts of foods you should eat to
practice preventative medicine and maintain weight loss. The diet that is then prescribed for you is
based on your personal biochemistry and not on second-guessing whether or not
you should go gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb or otherwise.
In
other words the vegetarian diet that is high in fruits and vegetables but low
in protein might be right for your neighbour but completely wrong for you. You might do better with a high protein, low
carb diet that includes a bit of dairy.
That is because the same nutrients can have different biochemical effects
in different people.
In
this program there are no generally right foods or wrong foods. The only diet
that is right for you is the one that meets your inherited dietary
requirements.
How Eating The Wrong Foods
Leads to Starvation
It
may not the fat, carbs or protein that is making you fat. It is the fact that
your body is unable to metabolize or convert certain foods into energy that is
the real problem. If you have a
metabolism that works well, then you can eat quite a bit of fat or carbs
because your body will utilize it efficiently.
If your metabolism is slow, then those foods will be converted to
fat. Eating right for your metabolic
type prompts your body to metabolize foods properly.
Also,
if you are consuming the wrong types of foods for your metabolic type, then you
may not be absorbing the nutrients that you need to feel whole and
healthy. You may suffer from constant
cravings as your body produces hormones that counteract the effects of the
foods that you just consumed.
The
point of a HAP assessment is to guide you to fuel your body with the right kind
of energy so you do not have to worry about feeling fatigued, hungry or packing
on the pounds. Eating right for you type
will also reduce food cravings, binge eating, ups and downs in energies,
sleeplessness and mood swings.
