    If it's on Dr. Oz, it's generally a gimmick...

    metabolism A should eat larger portions of protein and real fats less carbs darker cuts of meat. no low fat cheese etc... A metabloism craves salt.
    b metabloism craves sweets - still protein but not as much and they could handle more carbs butshould eat lighter cuts of meats

    Everyone should eat large portions of proteins and fats as it maintains satiety and reducing carbs to moderate amounts will reduce glycogen/water storage. You honestly don't need anything fancy. The more whole foods you eat, the better it will be as processed foods come with water storage. So if you eat lean meats, poultry, fish, fruits and veggies, you will be good to go.

    the best way to lose weight is to eat less and move more... it really is that simple!! it doesnt matter what metabolism type/blood type or anything else type you are!

    I thought a craving for sweets was more to do with blood sugar levels and tastebuds than being a seperate species. Silly me.

    I watched that video, but haven't bothered following along -- its just easier for me to eat the healthy foods I like.

    I've only seen a few Oz videos online, but I wouldn't call him a quack / gimmick. He's a very accomplished doctor. I think he's simply exposing the audience to many different theories/research in health/fitness. And he does it in an upbeat, easy to understand way. I wouldn't follow all the advice, but the more you know, the better off you'd be at making your own informed decisions.

    Do what works for you, what feels right, what is healthy ... it will fall into place. I am not a big Oz fan, but certainly not going to bash you for watching. Make this a life journey and I am confident what you choose will 'work' for you!

    Can you tell us how to know the different types?

    Just looking over the "A" and "B". One craves sweets while the other craves salt? I do both, depending on how my day is going or what I am simply graving.

    Dr. Oz is one of those spineless snake oil peddlers. Don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth. If he said water is wet, I would question it.
