Like the Atkin's Diet?
When I was describing my new eating habits to a friend she suggested that it sounded like the Atkins diet. I think that was me explaining badly! As you can see from the food diaries here I am still getting PLENTY of fruit and vegetables. All I have done is shift the emphasis away from complex, starchy carbohydrates (bread, potatoes, pasta etc) and towards protein.

Introduction
On Tuesday I attended a fascinating course on BioTyping led by Alessandro Ferretti at Equilibria Health.
BioTyping essentially divides the population into 5 types which can be identified by their physical and psychological characteristics. I have been categorised as a "P" type. I will go into more detail about what that means in subsequent entries.
I have been told that if I eat according to my type I can potentially lose up to 1 stone in weight. This is quite a tall order as I already eat a healthy diet and work as a Personal Trainer, so am fairly fit and do a fair amount of exercise.
This blog is going to chart my progress and will provide details on

This blog is going to chart my progress and will provide details on
- my diet (with a 5 star rating on how well it suits my type)
- my feelings on how it is going, together with any changes in energy levels
- my measurements and
- anything else I feel is relevant.
I hope you enjoy reading about my journey to increased energy levels, better health and a better body!
