The Hypothalamus Body Type

Foods - Emphasize cheese, nuts, seeds, and vegetables at lunch.  Raw vegetables are best at lunch; cooked vegetables at dinner.  Broccoli, zucchini and yellow squash should always be eaten raw.  Eat more raw than cooked vegetables.

Meals - Breakfast is ideally late, between 9 and 10 am, with fruit and protein.  Lunch between 1 and 2 pm with raw vegetables, salads, nuts and seeds.  Dinner between 6:30 and 9 pm as a  cooked meal with steamed vegetables.  Avoid fruit for lunch and dinner.  Rotate foods.

Exercise - Facilitates physical integration, gives the mind a rest, and allows centering.  Works best when recreational; otherwise it tends to become a low priority.

A partial list of Unsupportive Foods for the Hypothalamus Body Type include: Frozen yogurt, ice cream, goat cheese, raw cashews, rye bread and crackers, butter lettuce, cantaloupe, apple juice, artificial sweeteners such as Equal or Nutrasweet, mayonnaise, margarine, dark chocolate

I totally immerse myself in activities and endeavors, to the point of being a crusader. Once finished, I switch to the next subject that captures my interest. This typifies my approach to relationships, travel, inner realization, and career. Extremes are common. I have a deep curiosity about nature and how things work. I am comfortable in the world of concepts and ideas. My natural logic, decisiveness, commitment and determination assist me in professional success. I am quick thinking and see the big picture. When immersed in what interests me, I am able to travel to my inner depths and connect integral parts of my being. In this way I learn to rely on my own inner guidance, rather than conventional standards and opinions. This cycle is fulfilling to me. I am self contained and independent, and this is often perceived as a difficulty with self-disclosure.

I have an intense sense of responsibility for my behavior. I can have an intuitive sense of the significance of my actions, and I feel a need for accuracy in all that I do. Because of this I approach life with a measure of caution. I generally gather all the necessary tools, study the directions, and formulate a plan before starting a project. I can become completely immersed in a project, then transfer all my energy to something else. I am characterized by extremes, and tend to go through phases. Challenges provide the focus I need to go to the depths, immersing myself in an endeavor which ultimately develops another trait of self that I can share with the world. My strong analytical mind and sensitive intuition allows me to excel in the creation of companies, financial empires, or a way of life to benefit myself first, then mankind.
