Protein Metabolic Type individual loves food. This individual seems never to be satiated, is always hungry even after a large meal. Protein types crave rich, salty and fatty foods.

These people often eat a large carbohydrate meal, after which they continue to crave sweets and have difficulty to stop eating these foods. Yet the sweets cause the Protein Metabolic Type to become very jumpy and stressed out. This carb overload also causes the protein type individual a sudden drop in energy.

Needles to say, Protein Types are often overweight. They might have tried to lose weight by extreme calorie reduction, but it never works. This method is not sustainable and the weight is right back with a vengeance. Protein Metabolic Type cannot lose weight by drastically reducing their calorie intake.

They often experience cycles of energy ups and downs. These cycles are a typical example of mismatched metabolic type and food consumption.

Protein Metabolic Type individuals do best when they eat proportions of macro-nutrients that are approximately: 40% protein, 30% fat and 30% carbohydrates. The Protein Types can eat various carbohydrates such as fruits, grains and vegetables. These, however must be well balanced with proteins and fats.

Protein Type  metabolizes food quickly, hence his constant hunger. To alleviate this problem they should consume heavier protein, such as eggs, milk, dark poultry and beef. Protein Types who do not consume these heavier proteins will remain hungry, feel fatigued and will continue to struggle with their weight.
