Metabolic Typing | Coconut Fitness | Colin Ayliffe

This questionnaire is designed to help us discover your own metabolic type and determine what kind of diet will work best for you.

Temporarily suspend everything you ever learned about nutrition from the media or a university. Preconceived notions may inhibit you from giving natural, honest responses. This is also important since many University nutrition programs have been started and heavily funded by the processed food industry.

Answer the questions as though you were living in the jungle and you simply ate on natural instinct; there is no one there to judge your choices and you simply want to eat to have the energy to do your hunting and gathering!

Exaggerate any tendency that may result in an inability to answer a question. You will get the most accurate answer by exaggerating your natural urge.

If none of the answers suit you with regard to a particular question, simply don’t answer that question. If the answer A suits you some of the time (in the morning, but not the evening for example), and answer B suits you other times, you may circle both provided that the answers refer to how you may feel on any given day, not within a period of over 24 hours.

From this perspective, you can get the correct answer. Good luck!
