The Mixed Type Diet

If you're a mixed type, it means you're somewhere in the middle of the other two types, which have more pronounced or clear-cut metabolic imbalances. You actually need to eat a mixture of protein type foods and carbo type foods. This will accomplish two things:

1) it will support both sides of your autonomic nervous system -- both the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch

 2) it will keep your cellular oxidation rate, which is neither too fast or too slow, in balance.

 Mixed types need to consume relatively equal ratios of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. They also need to eat a mixture of high-fat, high-purine proteins and low-fat, low-purine proteins.

The same applies to all of the other foods contained on the protein type and carbo type diets -- including grains, legumes, vegetables and fruits.

"WHAT ARE PURINES?

Purines are chemical compounds found in your body’s cells and in your food. They are important because they help to provide your energy and protein needs as well as other life benefits. When they breakdown during this process, uric acid is produced. Normally, your kidneys will process the uric acid and excrete excess as waste out of your body. Enough is retained for your body’s needs. Sometimes, though, either too much acid is being produced through the metabolization of purines, or, your kidneys can’t even cope with normal production levels. When this happens you can be left with high uric acid that can result in the formation of urate crystals in your joints that cause a gout attack."
