Self Assessment:

• Tally the number of a’s:

More than 20 a’s: You are definitely a fast oxidizer of carbohydrates.

You will do better on a diet restricted in carbohydrates, and rich in purine

rich proteins and fats such as red meat, organ meats, dark meat turkey/chicken, sardines, etc.

15-20 a’s: You are mostly a fast oxidizer. Follow low carbohydrate guidelines, but you may be able to be slightly less strict.

Less than 15 a’s: You are a slow or medium oxidizer of carbohydrates.

You can handle some carbohydrates but you will still feel better with less grains & sugars.  Best sources of carbs (unless you are doing the advanced plan) include sprouted grains, sweet potatoes, & brown rice.  You should avoid red meat & organ meats.  You will do well with lighter proteins like eggs, white meat chicken and turkey.  You will need lots of green vegetables included in your diet.

Best Veggies for Fast Oxidizer:

Fast oxidizers need less vegetables than most but the best veggies they will metabolize are broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, cucumbers, & green peppers.

Any of these metabolic types can be used in addition to the

Maximized Living Core Plan or Advanced Healing Diet Plan
