If you have identified with many of these experiences, you likely have Metabolism B.
You may be familiar with the labels metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, terms designed by the medical community to recognize alternative metabolism. Together with a host of other signs that may seem unrelated, including fatigue, sleeplessness, mild depression, and anxiety, these conditions point to Metabolism B. Although alternative metabolism has been recognized for years, no diet to date addresses all the facets that contribute to this metabolism. As a result, all diets designed to match alternative metabolism have fallen short. The Metabolism Miracle takes the whole package of symptoms into account, stops the weight-gain train in its tracks, and even helps to reverse some of the health consequences of this metabolism.
Individuals with Metabolism B will never succeed at following a traditional weight-loss diet because their alternative metabolism follows a different set of rules than those of the standard metabolism. In fact, attempting to lose weight using a traditional approach can set off the downward spiral of unchecked Metabolism B.
Take heart. You do not lack willpower! You are not a lazy dieter! You have not imagined impossible obstacles! Your body simply responds differently. Once you understand your body and your alternative metabolism, you can work with your unique metabolism instead of against it.
