\u201cJust the facts, Ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hmm. I wonder if Joe Friday had an analyst<\/em> personality?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been looking at the four personality types and the best way to adapt the low glycemic\/step plan to each one.\u00a0 Today we are looking at the analyst personality.<\/p>\n

Analysts tend to be number people.\u00a0 You often find them in jobs as accountants, computer programers, and engineers.\u00a0 They like accuracy, rationality, and logic.\u00a0 Control is a major issue.\u00a0 They want the facts and the details — and then they want to get down to business.<\/p>\n

If you are an analyst, you are much less dependent on other people for support than either the leader or the sparkler.\u00a0 You would rather get the plan lined out and then just do it. Besides, you don\u2019t like drama, and you don\u2019t have much patience for folks who are supposed to be sticking to the plan and then cheat.\u00a0 More than likely you are a goal-oriented blitzer.\u00a0Click here to read about Blitzers.<\/a><\/p>\n

So what plan works best for an analyst?<\/p>\n

If you are an analyst, you will be interested in the \u201cwhy\u201d of the glycemic index.\u00a0 In fact, it may not be precise enough for you. You may want to figure the more complicated, but more accurate, glycemic load. The load takes the number of servings into account and so gives a more complete picture. To figure the load, you multiply the glycemic index number by the amount of carbohydrate in grams in the food, and then dividing the number by 100. \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0( GL = GI\/100 x Net Carbs) <\/strong>Then your goal is to keep the load for the day under 100.<\/p>\n

That is way too complicated and too much trouble for most of us, and, really, it comes out about the same. If you are an analyst, though, you will want to be precise and will enjoy figuring it out.\u00a0 You will also want to keep more exact track of your calories while other folks are estimating theirs.<\/p>\n

Keeping track of your steps and the weekly average will be the type of activity you enjoy, too, so the step plan is right up your alley.\u00a0 You might also like the Couch to 5K program which involves training for a run.\u00a0 You start mostly walking with short sprints and then gradually increase running time until you are able to run a 5K race.\u00a0 Smart phone apps make this plan easy and it will appeal to your penchant for programs and order.<\/p>\n

Analysts have many advantages in reaching fitness goals.\u00a0 If they go astray, they are able to pinpoint the reason.\u00a0 They like facts and reasons, so they will do research and become convinced of the best plan for them. Once they have a plan, they tend to stick to it<\/p>\n

Trying to force an analyst to do the plan that would appeal to a sparkler is doomed to fail.\u00a0 God didn\u2019t make you with a cookie-cutter.\u00a0 So, if you are an analyst, just do it your way!
