here is some information on metabolic body typing. If you need certain foods and don't get them, you will be at health risk. Just because someone else gets by with a different diet, doesn't mean you will. Hard for families to understand...but different family members might need different foods.

I don't know what my perfect diet is. Very high protein, in fact the high purine proteins, high fats, high vegetables, almost no starches or sugars....I'm still not doing something right but I know how much more wrong I could be..I think I'm not eating often enough..also, if you are very hypoglycemic they say to try to get someone else to fix your meals..I find I did better when I ate lunch out almost every day since that is my worst time of the day.
