16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I've tried a number of different ways to lose some extra fat without a ton of success.  It's not as if I don't try, I'm really a workout fanatic that just has a problem staying away from foods that aren't good for me.  I just began a new endeavor, "metabolic typing" which is a lot more involved than any diet I've hitched my wagon to before, but I'm hoping with the structure of the plan and the support I'll get here that it will finally do the trick.
