Is There Truth in Metabolic Typing?

Question: I was reading the discussion forum on carbs/libido with that guy that said he lost his sex drive when he was doing the high fat, high protein, low carb diet and his drive came back when he started eating sugar again. Recently I read a book called "Metabolic Typing" by William Wollcott where he states that people fall into protein type, carb type, and mixed type. Could it be that this gentlemen who had lost his libido on that phase could be a carb type and because he wasn't getting enough carbs, his metabolism was out of whack? What are your thoughts on this theory of people falling into these three groups? And does the Warrior Diet apply to all these types? I'd like to know your thoughts.

My Answer: Russians and Romanians are not healthier than Americans. Regardless of statistics, the problem today is an over-generalization of almost anything. The guy that allegedly lost his grooves due to a high fat diet most likely didn't do it properly. You can't merely eat a handful of nuts and expect an instant boost in virility. As I mentioned previously, to promote virility one must apply substantial amounts of raw nuts as a primary fuel. This way the effect will be long lasting - potentially as long as one continues. On the other hand, eating carbs or sugar may initially boost your energy and even vigor for a few hours, but if done continually, will lead to undesirable weight gain, blood sugar disorders and a total metabolic decline. What's the point of being a minuteman? The Warrior Diet is a lifelong program, not a gimmick. The 'metabolic typing theory" is just that - a theory. There isn't yet convincing evidence that humans are divided into carb types, fat types, protein types or Sponge Bob types.
