What kind of fuel do I need? What kind of meals are optimal for me?

*The “Paleo” or “High-Octane” fuel is a Protein-type, and they must have dark meat (high purine proteins) and a lot of fat, such as butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado and a good variety of fruits and vegetables. This type is usually hungry alot and needs heavier fatty foods to slow down fast metabolism.

*The “Unleaded” or “Low-Octane” fuel type is a “Carb-type” and they must have some carbohydrate, lighter meat, lower fat proteins, and less fat/oils. They need more vegetables and appetite helpers.

*The “Mixed” Metabolic type needs a bit of everything and they are more metabolically flexible. Depending on appetite, energy, and activity levels, this person does best with a lot of variety.

The best support for finding out how any meal, snack or food/herb/supplement is the Adjusting Dietary Ratios document and exploring high and low versions of protein, carbohydrate and fats. The first step is finding out what kind of foods give maximum energy after meals. This means less metabolic waste is generated and less congestion, inflammation, and symptoms = less burden on other Foundations.

For most people, this step takes 3 months – some longer, some have done this work and quickly explore a few things. We have “graduated” from Foundation I to the next piece of our health when we know what types of meals restore us, give us good stamina, and not need to snack nor crave between meals. We also know how to relax ourselves and stimulate ourselves via our diet.
