The Carbo Type Diet

• You need a higher percentage of carbohydrates in your diet in order to speed up your naturally slow cellular oxidation rate.
• Do well on a low-fat, relatively low-protein diet; one that includes liberal amounts of carbohydrates in the form of vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
• Need to remember that a "low-protein" diet does not mean a "no-protein" diet.
• Most need to include protein at most meals, and focus on leaner, lighter meats, seafood and poultry than protein types do.
• Need to restrict your consumption of red meat in favor of light meat chicken and turkey and lighter seafood such as haddock, cod, perch, sole, and flounder.
• Should stick to low-fat dairy products, but you can eat a very wide selection of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
• Many carbo types, like protein types, do best by focusing on vegetables that contain low or moderate levels of sugar and starch.
