Sweat Now Offers Metabolic Typing Program

If you have ever struggled to lose weight, it can be frustrating to watch others be able to seemingly eat whatever they want and not gain weight.  And watching our friends take in Nashville  hot chicken and waffles, biscuits, and all types of Southern comfort foods  while we sit eating our salad  and not seeing the results we want can get a little frustrating to say the least. Could we be eating all of the wrong foods?

Local gym owner at Sweat in Franklin, Mandy Oakes, hopes to help change that statistic in our area.  Oakes who is following in the footsteps of her twin sister,Vickie Griffith, in Dallas has empowered women to know their type.  And by knowing your type you can lose weight, find more energy, and find what foods you should actually be eating for your type.

Metabolic typing is a process in which clients answer a series of questions based off the book The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Wolcott and co-author, Trish Fahey. The basis of the program is that no one single diet is right for everyone and depending on your metabolic type sticking to some diets can do more harm than good.

By answering a set of questions that can typically take up to 30-45 minutes you can reveal information as to what characteristics are dominant and which one of the three metabolic types you are: Protein Type,Carbo Type, or Mixed Type. Within the different types you can also have variations meaning you might lean more toward a slight Carbo Type, or Extreme Carbo but with food guidance you can more define what works best for you.

Oakes tells that they have great success with clients in Franklin, some choosing to do the program to lose weight while some choose the program to gain more energy.

Griffin(Oakes twin sister) told D Magazine in Dallas about a client who having being revealed to be a Protein Type, she was concerned about eating so much meat and what it would do to her cholesterol. When she had her cholesterol checked, her good cholesterol has risen and her bad cholesterol had decreased.

“Everybody wants a quick fix but metabolic typing is not that,” says Griffith,  “it’s a lifestyle change. Metabolic typing is the complete opposite of a one-size-fits-all approach: It works for all but in a highly,detailed, customized way, and only if you’re willing and ready.”
