I just finished reading through a book called Eat Right for Your Metabolism by Felicia Drury Kliment, who also wrote The Acid-Alkaline Balance Diet. The basic premise of Eat Right for Your Metabolism is that a single standard diet, whether for weight-loss or for health, cannot work for everyone (but we already knew that). Each person must eat according to what types of foods his of her body metabolizes best - either grains or meat.
Part I explains the reasoning behind the metabolic types, which are pre-determined by your ancestry. For instance, British people's taste for red meat can be traced back at least 8,000 years. Early Britons were meat-eaters, and their descendants all over the world are metabolically meat eaters. When people eat outside their metabolic type, even if the foods they eat are what we traditionally believe to be "healthy," they will suffer health problems because the body cannot break them down. The undigested foods decompose into acid waste and "poison" the body causing everything from unusual allergies to cancer.
