The diet of biotypes: the Oberhammer method
It is not possible to find two identical people: today we know that even two homozygous twins have, for example, a different microbiota, but without thinking about the rare cases of twins, just look in the mirror to identify our differences. Starting from the body, but not only: we have different metabolisms, we relate differently to food, we can be more or less anxious, more or less angry, more or less apathetic, we can take life in a different way. And obviously have different dietary and health needs: having made this premise, can there be a diet that is valid for everyone?
According to the naturopath Simona Oberhammer no. Working on Hippocratic biotypes, Oberhammer developed a method of her own, that of the biotype diet or Oberhammer method. The Oberhammer biotypes_which the naturopath defines as “footprints” and which do not concern only the differences in body size, but also the hormonal differences (each biotype is dominated by a hormone) and health, in the way in which the body accumulates waste_ are four: the fire biotype , the water biotype, the air biotype and the earth biotype .
Each of these biotypes has different characteristics , and therefore by working on these differences it is possible to return to balance, both in health and in weight, without diets (but with food observations, for example the earth biotype should consume whole foods), without methods complicated, but with tips to purify yourself and eat better, revise some bad habits without stress.
While being skeptical of biotype theory, the biotype diet fascinates me:this is because in the many years that I have studied diets, nutrition and the processes for which we gain weight or lose weight, as a guinea pig I realized that some things that worked very well for some, worked badly for me or for others. There are people who react better, for example, with lightning diets, people who have to do their own thing to find their way and do not tolerate any dosed food, very disciplined people who follow a diet only if it is calibrated to the milligram, and so on. There are also healthy foods that can work for one person (whole foods, in fact) for another they only increase swelling and inflammation.
Even in movement, in training, there are differences, and not only between men and women.
Disregarding these differences is shortsighted . Today we know that even obesity is a “multifactorial” problem and not just a problem that can be answered: eat less, or eat better.
The theory of biotypes tries to give a personalized answer starting from the fact that we are all different, but despite our diversity we still have this imprint that defines our biotype (as if we had a mold), although it has the great limit that not everyone succeeds easily to be framed in a biotype.
To understand what our Oberhammer biotype is, for example, there is a free test, which with the help of images allows us to better identify ourselves in one biotype or another.
And Simona Oberhammer assures that, once you understand your biotype, it is easy to understand how to correct your life without drastic solutions, and not even diets, but with a natural and detoxification path (in fact saying “diet of biotypes” is a bit of a risk: the doctor explains that she is allergic to the word diet!). In the book, which I have read for you, the naturopath recommends a personalized detox program
, based on a soup to be consumed at dinner three times a week (the cleansing soup), an herbal tea to be consumed every day with lemon in the morning, herbal drops and homeopathic remedies. Dietary indications are given for each biotype: how to eat vegetables, how much fat to eat, what cereals, how much protein and what type, how many meals to eat and at what time. After the 21 day detox phase, a maintenance plan is recommended.
