Hi group,
I've been reading Eat Right 4 Your Metabolic Type by Dr. Cass Ingram and was wondering if anyone else read it.
Instead of being based on blood types, he says that environment/climate play a big role on what type of endocrine function one has. Also he mentions that a medical crisis can shift someone from one type to another due to stress on the related glands.
A short summary of the four main types that most fit in:
Thyroid (slow metabolizer) - usually gains weight easily (more around the stomach), has thick skin, square or rectangular head, ring finger longer than index.
Adrenal (fast metabolizer) - usually thin, easily frustrated, sensitive to sound, attracted to sugar/alcohol, ring finger shorter than index or same length
Pituitary (super-slow metabolizer) - gains weight easily (around the legs and buttocks), round/chubby face ("baby face"), more relaxed/positive attitude, very sensitive to chemicals and smells, delicate skin
Thyroid-Adrenal - which is a combination of features of those two groups
The one thing that I am not sure about this book is that he mentions the ratio of ring finger to index finger as an indicator of types. I thought that was related to sex hormones in the body?
