Quick answers
Likely, yes. The fat metabolism of Mosaic genotypes is strong. As such, heart health metrics are more likely to be in the healthy range on a diet that is higher in fat. Nevertheless, even Mosaic dieters should be careful to have labs done to ensure they are not increasing their risk for cardiovascular disease when they go on a higher fat diet.
Yes, in moderation, and especially with a plant based approach, but test, test, test.
Nope. Mosaics may be the LeBron James of fat metabolism, but this doesn’t mean they are designed to eat nothing but meat. This is still a plant rich diet. In our view, the carnivore diet is unhealthy for most people.
Unlike the Agrarian diet types and other low histamine diets, Mosaics can benefit from healthy fermented foods like sauerkraut and kombucha.
As a general rule, refined grain products, especially those that have added sugar and oils, are not good for any diet type. Having said that, Mosaic diet types should be able to get away with a few more pancake breakfasts than most without increasing their risk for high blood sugar.
Biggest challenge
The challenge for Mosaic diet types is not to get overly confident. Yes, they enjoy more robust genes than many, but staying on top of blood work to make sure their bodies are in sync with their diverse diets is important.
Closest relative
Not quite you? The nearest type is Urban Grazer. Urban Grazer diet types are very likely to be lactose intolerant and therefore should exclude dairy products. By contrast, and assuming their digestive health is in good shape, Mosaic diet types can incorporate some dairy products into a healthy diet.
