Storm Trooper Smoothie

This is one of my favourite shakes to have and I will explain why?
1. This shake is more of a Protein type shake and I will explain this from my experience in being a MTA metabolic typing advisor
2. In the metabolic typing world I am a what is called a "Protein Type"
3. This shake has 17gram of fat in it...why?
Being a protein type I am very acidic so I digest / oxidise carbs extremely fast, raising insulin, throwing off hormones, only to make me crave sweets and feel like hell! That is why I will never eat carbs by themselves.
To fix this, protein types need to add more fat to their meals because they are not good at beta oxidation (digestion of fats). By adding fat, this will slow down the digestion of the carbs, now I can last longer between meals, while keep my cravings low and hormones in check. Additionally protein, having it's own dietary fat also slows digestion and is why it is the highest percentage of macros we eat in the day. Why? again Protein types have high acidic rates leading to rapid oxidation of carbs; this is very individualized and why one food plan does not work for every person (hence my personal individualised fat intake, this works for me, only me and my goals). Remember that! This is why my shake has an abundance of fat, as the shake itself is already liquefied hence needing little digestion brining upon a large spike in insulin unless I add fat to slow the digestion and keep my hormones is check. Now I can slowly digest the shake without problems :-)
To sum up, if you are having shakes, and literally getting the shakes from them or gaining weight from the massive amount of fruit in the shake....you might want to rethink having that shake.....or come see me for a metabolic typing analysis.

*Now the trick with metabolic typing is "how you feel after you eat"...
- if you are feeling like crap, this shake did not work for you, we need to find out why
- if you are feeling revived, hey we might be onto something!
- if you are feeling pissed off and shaky, yeah this is not for you, we need to find out why
- any of the above can be from too much of an ingredient or too little of an ingredient...this is where the advisor (me) and the client (you) go to work and find the best option :-)
Enjoy!
