On 28 July 2009 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:-
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!

This blog is going to chart my progress and will provide details on
