I just got back from my monthly Metabolic Typing session at the office. I always get a kick out of sharing the results of the testing and watching the reactions of my clients to their brand new food list.
The observation I can make is that we mostly gravitate to what we should be eating on our own. However, there is always about 25% of the recommended foods that turn out to be a surprise. Check out Dr. Kristal’s book for this great way of approaching nutrition, where he gives such love and respect to all the scientists that went before and combines the best they have to offer.

Metabolic Typing is a wonderful, common sense approach to eating for your body's individual, unique needs. So many diets and programs are based on broad and often arbitrary generalizations about what is "healthy." Through testing and a detailed questionnaire, Metabolic Typing is entirely based on what your body tells you you need at that particular moment or phase of your life. It is so important to approach health and diet from an individual, circumstance-sensitive perspective; Metabolic Typing does just that.
Two great resources for eating and living well: "Healing With Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition" by Paul Pitchford and "Power Food: Eating to Energize, Increase Vitality, Fight Fatigue, and Boost Immunity" by Janette Marshall. Chock full of information, great recipes, and (Pitchford in particular) the basic principles of the Chinese outlook on disease, health, and the energetic values of various foods. Both available at Amazon.
