THE SIX METABOLIC FOOD GROUPS  Each Metabolic  Food Group comprises the foods that strengthen or weaken specific metabolic functions and organs, as well as having specific effects on your mental and emotional wellbeing. You will see that certain foods may be listed in more than one group. This double reference is because these are  metabolic groups, not food groups. That is, foods are classified by how  they affect your system metabolically. Excessive or low quality foods,  not only place undue stress on the organs and physiology most responsible for their digestion and assimilation, but on related hormonal systems as well. Below are each of the Metabolic Food Groups. Simply click on each  group to learn more about them and how they relate to your health and wellbeing. Tell Me More Protein  Group: the best and the worse sources of protein  and their related conditions and diseases. The Protein Group consists of proteins and protein digestion that supply the amino acids necessary for building proteins and neurotransmitters. Hormonal Group: the foods that have a hormonal effect on our physiology and their related conditions and diseases. The Hormonal Group is concerned with building protein required for hemoglobin,  and tissue and muscle growth and repair. Carbohydrate Group: sources of simple and complex carbohydrates  and the conditions and diseases they cause. The  Carbohydrate Group deals with the digestion and assimilation of carbohydrates and sugars primarily for the energy requirements of the cell. Fat  Group: the good fats and the bad…what you have heard  does not support medical research. The Fat or Lipid Group is concerned with digestion and assimilation of fats and oils. Vegetable  Group and Fruit and Flower Group: yes, they  are carbohydrates, but good ones and they are full of vitamins,  minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants. Yes, you are what you eat. And, corn and macaroni ain't one. These  are the foods of choice for clarity and metabolic and cellular nutrition and cleansing. Fruits and vegetables, combined with  the optimum exercise programs, bring the body out of catabolism (breakdown and disease) and into anabolism (growth and repair). Back to Metabolic Diet
