I have read some posts and threads from people on here who have a good deal of info and diet and nutrition aka built and some others. My question is what your opinion is on the book Metabolic Typing Diet, if any of you are familiar with it the book... I know that i am nowhere close to being a genius with nutrition but the basic idea of the book which is... There is no such thing a one size fits all diet, like the food pyrmaid for example. And the other idea which i am mainly asking about is eating for you "genetic type" so for example you should follow the eating patterns of where your people or anscestors originated from. So if your family background comes from alaska and were eskimo's your, body will function optimally eating alot of protein and fat with little carbs, and so on and so on for other people form other places... Any thoughts.

...just how deep the rabbit hole goes...by the time you get all of your wits about you and get comfortable with your knowledge level, then there will be something else that comes out that will add to or contradict this kinda thing. I mean you could drive yourself crazy trying to delve into everything you come across. I take bits and pieces of stuff like this. See how it works or relates to you. Bits of something else, pieces of something else.

Nutrigenomics is an up and coming science and in the future, diets most likely will be able to be tailored to one's unique genetic code, but there is no conclusive evidence backing any of that yet. As far as the diet you're referring to, I'm not familiar with but from what you say it seems to be another good marketing ploy in the world of nutrition "quackery". There is no evidence saying that people could benefit from eating like their ancestors, on the contrary many native populations that do eat like their ancestors have an increased prevalence of some metabolic diseases (hispanics and native americans have the highest rates of diabetes). The only sound advice that can be learned from our ancestors (as a whole) is that we should all revert back to more natural, plant-based diets.
Thanks for the feedback, i don't know if i agree though that native populations eat like their ancestors, there were a few studies on that native amerian tribe (cant remember name) who over half of there population developed diabetes and metabolic diseases after becoming accustomed to an american diet. Also hispanic popultions here in america are eating their cultures traditional foods but in the american highliy processed and filled with preservatives version. You have to admit that our food quality in this country is piss poor. I agree with your last point completely.

Right after I wrote that i remembered that it was the introduction of an american diet to the natives that was thought to be the reason for their increase rate of disease (pretty much just history repeating itself, native americans really got the shit end of the deal in every situation), so thanks for clearing that up. To further emphasize how awful our food here in america really is, I was counseling this guy the other day that was born in America, moved to Ireland for three years, and just came back, and he could not stop talking about how fake everything tastes here. He even said he quit drinking soda because he just could not stand the taste, which of course is a positive thing from my perspective, but it's crazy to think what people here are putting in their bodies. And people still wonder why americans are fatter and unhealthier, in general, than the rest of the developed world.
