I've been reading Paul Chek's book 'How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy', and he advocates completely rotating your food choices over a 4 day rotation period, within the choices allowed for your metabolic type - i.e the foods you eat on Day 1 should not be eaten again until Day 5. He suggests this to avoid developing intolerences to foods that you may otherwise eat all the time.
I'm wondering if this is worth implementing. I already maximise my food choices withing the framework of what is allowed for my metabolic type, but what i do instead is eat a little of everything every day.
Anyone got any input on this 'rotation' approach that Chek espouses?

Once all the pork is gone I will go to lamb. Once all the lamb is gone I go to red meat (smaller portion, since I was sensitive to it on my MRT). I do the same with different beans and lentils, as well as vegetables. In short, I will say that variety is a good thing-and getting this variety in a rotational way like I mentioned above is probably a good idea. Make sense? |

Yeah that seems a more natural way of doing it than trying to prescribe yourself 3 or 4 different menus of completely different foods, like Chek seems to suggest in his book.
I did actually manage to actually come up with 2 totally different menus for training days and non-training days, meaning i would have 3 and 4 days respectively per week with each set of foods, but i think i might scrap that and go with your approach.

Sounds very sensible and most probably what our ancestors would've done? |

For anyone interested in rotating their food sources, i found this useful document (for rotating plant foods anyway) www.parentsofallergicchildren.org/biologic.htm . A good way to start is to avoid eating any foods from the same family two days in a row. A full rotation diet means you would eventually build up to avoiding foods from the same family for 4 days in a row. |

They advocate this only after a period of about a month where you slowly re-introduce certain foods based upon one's MRT test results. However, once Metabolic Typing (R) was thrown into the mix, it changed the program. Once again, this is where the DCR's really can make the difference! |
