The concepts of "carb type" and "protein type" are based on metabolism
which *can* be measured by modern medicine techniques principally CO2
consumption which can even be measured using an inexpensive oximeter and
the measurement is also part of a standard medical blood panel. This is
part of "cutting edge" western medicine though the research on this goes
back 50-60 years. It validates the concepts of doshas as well as yin
and yang. It's not a placebo effect. But conventional medicine has
been reluctant to embrace it because it is a "lifestyle change" which
practitioners find have difficulty getting patients to make.
Recently I posted a study which validated that just eating less and
exercising more won't work for some people because they have "thrifty
metabolisms." When they eat less they will lack the energy to exercise
more.
The advice given in the article suggests that a low carb diet is the way
to go. But that's for protein types. It will make a carbohydrate type
site around morose and NOT lose weight.
We tend to eat for our minds anyway. Often someone quits a diet a
doctor has put them on they will tell you "I couldn't get my work done
on that diet!"

The problem with Ayurveda and Chinese medicine is it does not seem to
cure a whole lot, and much of those medical systems is based on
unprovable metaphysical concepts. These systems do have an effect
because ineffective medicine does have a proven biological mechanism
via the placebo effect.

Just as one shoe size does not fit all neither will one diet. Some
folks are "carb types" and some are "protein types." And some are a
mix of both. Both Ayurveda and Chinese medicine have recognized this
for centuries. Western medicine? They're still stuck in the boonies
trying to get back home.
