Review
Are you a "Slow burner", "Fast burner" or "Mixed burner"? Or to put it another way, how quickly does your body's metabolism breakdown the food that you eat? This question lies at the heart of this startling book.
The author, a health expert and nutritionist, quickly explains that it is neither good nor bad to be a fast or a slow burner. The idea is to learn to work with the system you've got in order to reach your ideal weight and improve your health.
People of any metabolic type can be fit and trim or they can have weight problems. By understanding your individual metabolic type, you will not only learn how to balance your metabolism by making informed choices about what you eat; you will also learn what kind of exercise is best for your body. It may be, for instance, that your time would be better spent in the weights room than in an aerobics class.
The book kicks off with a quiz that will enable you to work out your metabolic type. Then you'll find advice and example diet plans to help you balance your metabolism. And for "mixed burners", who make up 10 per cent of the population, there's advice on how to stay that way.
Simply written and packed with information, The Balance provides plenty of technical but accessible detail for those who want it--or you can simply cut to the chase. More than a diet book, it also addresses other food-related problems--such as the menopause--that can be improved by balancing your metabolism.
"In dieting", as Garcia says, "It's not what you don't eat but what you do eat that counts, and what you do need to eat is food that suits your metabolic type". --Dan Fielder
