Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hi Pam, The way the diet went for me was that when learning what foods suited me the best (I'm type O) I found immediately that some of the good foods were foods I'd always liked and felt good eating. The bad foods were foods I had had problems from, including allergies back when I still had allergies. There were some exceptions, but the book explains that the " rules " cannot be hard and fast in our modern society where increased travel makes it so likely for different blood types to marry and have children. The children have some charcteristics of both parents blood types (in regards to foods they can thrive on and foods they do poorly on). That explained the exceptions to my satisfaction. It also led me to believe that if I get back in tune with what my body tells me it needs (disregarding cravings for pure junk food if I ever have any) I should be ok eating what makes me feel more energetic and healthy. That's what I do, although I haven't stopped educating myself and refining my eating habits beyond " Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type " . The book was good starting point though. I'm really glad to have read it and learned a lot from it. Vince > Hi All- > There has been mentioned the diet eat right 4 your blood type and I would like to know how the diets went for the one that have used it.? My brother mentioned it to me a cou[ple of weeks ago then a few of you mentioned the diet. So please let me know you like the diet and would you recommend it to others? Thanks, love to all, Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Hello everyone, Thanks for the advice. Can anyone enlighten me on what sprouted bread is and where you can get it in the UK? Also, what's the best way of drying dandelion roots - are they best air-dried like culinary herbs or is there another way. I have lately acquired an abundance of them in my garden, so it seems a waste not to make use of this " crop " I must admit that since reading about 's list of foods which are suitable for the different blood types, I have realised that the O type fits me to a tee, bar a few bits here and there (I am O). I have been eating basically healthily, give or take a few treats/hiccups, which have resulted in my gb complaining later on. Serves me right! So, I am going to give up bread and wheat based stuff which I had not done, previously thinking because I was eating wholemeal bread that it was good for my condition. I also had an awful time this last week with pain but I had some sprouted alfalfa beans in a salad every day (the type that you sprout yourself and eat straightaway) again thinking I was being good, so if they are the same as alfalfa sprouts listed then that's why my digestive tract was playing up. I don't eat a lot of meat but sometimes I get an unexplained urge to eat it, so I am glad meat is ok for type O! Don't know how I am going to manage without pasta, though. Am going to the doctor's today to see if she will set up an ultrasound so I can see if the Chinese herbs I have been taking have reduced the size of the gallstones as I feel as though I want to try a flush now. Best wishes and good health to all. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Hi Pam, I haven't read those other books. My wife is also an O and did very well on the Atkins diet - modified alittle bit. She definitely doesn't do well with any grains and sugar. The carbs she eats is fresh raw fruit, legumes, etc. Lots of fresh low carb vegetables and lean meats. No breads or pastas etc. This seems to fit well for her blood type (O). It obviously would not necessarilly fit well with a Type A. She's lost weight that she's had for years and kept it off for over a year. Dr. Cabot is now emphasizing the weight loss benefits of cleansing your liver. The good foods (for your body) and cleansing your liver are the key to weight loss.
