Welcome Regina! This group will provide you with a wealth of information

and support. BTW, is your doctor allopathic or naturapathic? Where are you

located? It's very unusual for a doctor to recommend the blood type diet.

You are in good hands!

Welcome again!

That was too much torture for me. I threw everything out and went cold

turkey. In a week I felt so good I never looked back. You really don't know

how toxic you are until you rid yourself of all of the avoids. Don't wait

until you're in ICU like I did or getting your esophagus cut out like my

cousin who now sleeps sitting up. He REALLY has to be careful with reflux.

Actually, the human body physically is one big chemical reactor that

processes external input into a direction that will produce the best effect

and the least harm. Foods are chemicals, thoughts are chemicals, perceptions

are chemicals, exercises are chemicals, etc. The body acts more like a

machine than you think. When we visualize wellness, our bodies " use "

chemicals to do what we're asking it to do. The trick is getting the body's

attention. Humankinds confusion and dispute is always about the spiritual

way we get there not the bodies mechanical way of doing it. There is no

dispute about how the body mechanically fixes itself. Everyone knows what

good health is but disagree on how to get there.

Hi Jolley - it comes down self love. If you don't think you are worth it

then we can't say much to convince you. The body IS a machine. You have

to give it the right fuel. Your car gets the right octane doesn't it?

So why not do the same for yourself? I hope you don't care more for

your car then yourself!

Just do it - if you were " " " picky " " " you'd be picking the right stuff.

Not poison. For a fee I'd be willing to call you daily to reprogram your

mind. What do you say?

Are we here for you or what?

Love

Even though i do believe in this diet, I don't look at the body as a

machine. Although you may have said that cause you needed to give

her an analogy. /Cool. But even so, I'm definitely looking into the

PERCEPTION " THEORY " on health. You can do a lot of non-chemical/food-

related activities to defeat problems like the symptoms of

hypoglycemia and body pain. But I'm not sure I can even explain it.

I'd believe the body was a " machine " if i didnt see people

doing " AVOID " activities & diets while living " healthy long lives. "

Contradictions everywhere, argh!!!!

Regina,

Try dropping one avoid at a time, and don't even buy it if you can help it.

Try to take the attitude that avoids are like poisons. Now that I know I'm

getting rid of them one by one.

This way your body more easily adjusts and it is easier not to feel deprived

when you see that avoid in the store. Read all labels, and if you have any

questions, we'll be glad to answer to the best of our knowledge.

-Yes it did, by not eating the foods that were poisoning me. My

stomach doesnt have the acid problems anymore and other things have

gotten better also. My reflux was so bad most nights I had to sit in

a chair and sleep upright. Also I couldnt sleep on my side because I

would almost get sick. But do it slowly, take one step at a time. I

believe its a life long goal. And for me it didnt take me overnight

to become the food person I was,and this is getting better with

cravings and things I thought I couldn't live without, I now can. I

started this June . I have lost 40lbs since march of this year and

over all 56lbs total. My goal is 80lbs when Im finish. But mostly

this is for health reasons.

That is really great . I hope that I can get on this diet and start

feeling better and and get rid of this acid reflux. It is making me really

sick. I guess the hardest part is just knowing where to start. I need to

make a list of what I can eat and just go grocery shopping and not get

anything that is not on that list. LOL

Not at all. When you wake up in the hospital, the pantry is filled for you.

The only hurry you're in is to hear what the doctor has to say. You'll get

all kinds of well intentioned people telling you all kinds of things and the

only difference is that you're the one who's dying. You won't know what to

believe. What you'll hear is mostly wrong. It's a very scarey time. Spare

yourself. Take the time now. Fix your food the night before or don't eat.

It is hard. If you wait until you really get sick, it's just as hard. It's

just like quitting smoking. Let me tell you how easy it was to quit smoking

with a rock on your chest. Only took me 32 years. Now I wonder what was

wrong with me. Don't be a fool like I was. Sorry that I sound so passionate

about this but I know exactly where you are and I want to reach you. I've

seen too many people die or have strokes because they just don't have a clue.

You want to wait until you're chasing antibiotics and your immune system is

shredded to pieces by well meaning doctors? Taking antidepressants because

you aren't getting any better? Watching a staff infection that they can't

heal slowly climb up your leg as they alternate antibiotics that destroy your

immune system.

Your body is trying to tell you something. It will get your attention sooner

or later. Finally got my attention, only took me 4 years to get to a place

where I can see where I need to go to just get back to where I was when my

body started talking to me. Trust me. Someday you'll remember this email.

Be smart. This diet works. Do this. Don't play with it. Get healthy so

you and yours can enjoy your time.

Yes the weight loss will be nice as well I can say that being on this

list and reading emails from everyone is making me more exited about trying.

But I know when I get up in the morning it will all be the same. I will be

in hurry, no breakfast once again and donunts at work.. so the cycle starts

all over and I blow my diet all day long right now my way of eating is

just easy.. but it is making me sick. I get to work have two donuts.. for

lunch it is the local deli of either a sandwich or burger. For dinner it is

what ever is quick and easy because I am tired from working all day and

eating poorly. I guess you could say I am in a food rut and I can't seem to

get out. I guess I wish that somehow magically my menu would appear before

me and I would like everything on it and all the food for it would be in my

cupboard. Silly, huh?

-I know its hard, nothing about this will be easy. It gets easier

the more you know and the food you choose. Im not 100% perfect but I

must try because the ultimate goal is I can play with my

Grandchildren and watch them grow up. Almost Two Years ago I was

heading for a wheelchair and maybe a home. I look at myself and

didnt like myself and how sick I was all the time. And no doctor,

friend or anyone could help me but me. I deceided I wanted to live

and choose what kind of life was I going to have not my body or

someone dictating to me how I was going to live. I know the donuts

are easy I was there also, I had a girl in my office that could eat

anything she wanted and didnt gain an ounce. But I would eat and it

showed. I got up to 212lbs, three pounds less than my husband. This

is the first time that I can say Im proud of myself and no one did it

but me. So hang in there, dont give up, it takes time. Like I said

before you didnt get that way overnight and you wont lose it either.

But you will start to feel better and things will get better for

you. Hang in there and by the way Im only 44 and I have had 18

surgeries on my body to keep me going. And this surgery doesnt hurt

and the recovery time is wonderful. Take care

Max I know you are so right. I am already taking stomach pills and

medication for anxity, etc. I keep asking myself how far it has to go before

I wake up and just start this diet. How many times do I have to wake up and

feel like I can't breath because the acid reflux is so bad. I am 33 years

old now and I started drinking alchol basically from the time I could walk

and steal it at my parents partys. I started to drink heavy at the age of 13

and finally stopped a month after my 21st birthday. I have to say that

stopping drinking was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do but

changing my diet has proven to be harder for me. I guess because you need to

eat food to survive and when you just get so use to eating one way it is

hard to change that.

I think I can handle doing this diet for lunch and dinner. I have even

gotten some Ezekal bread! I am having a hard time with breakfast ideas. I

would like to have something that is easy, that I can just grab and go with.

Something I don't need to cook and something that is breakfast.. not the

night befores dinner. Right now donuts don't cut it! They hit the spot for

the moment but then turn right into acid reflux.

So yes I know you are so right in what you say. I keep telling myself I am

ready to do this diet but then turn right around and blow it before I even

start it.

Thanks for listening

Thank you ,

Your words do make me feel better. I am 33 and the doctors are talking about

surgery for the acid reflux. They have already taken out my gall bladder. I

started seeing this natrupathic doctor because I dont want sugery.. but hey

he was suppose to give me a magic pill and make it all better and I could

still eat what I wanted! But noooo he tells me aobut this diet instead. LOL

Thank you for your words

Some already prepared foods you can grab are Hard boiled eggs, thermos/cup of

beef broth, tea, vegetables, rice puffs, left over steak, soup, etc. There

are many baked egg dishes you can fix the night before and pop in the

microwave at work. Take a protein snack to eat when you want that donut.

I know that many on this list disagree with me but what worked for me was

immediate, complete compliance. I'm a little obsessive-compulsive. To nibble

away at it is to lose because that donut is always there and if you're going

to have just a small piece of candy or a little sandwich why not the donut.

Before you know it, it's a box of donuts with milk or coffee to wash it down

and a Big Mac on the way home. Then it's you talking to someone about this

great diet you failed at 6 months ago. Believe me. I do it all the time.

It is so easy to fall off of the diet. The difference between you and me is

that I know what WELL feels like. Not being well is uncomfortable to me. So

I quit cheating. You don't know the difference because you haven't gone 100%

yet. Wait until you go a week without any reflux or bloated feeling. It's

like getting oxygen.

People with the " except fors " tickle me. They're on the diet EXCEPT FOR

coffee or ice cream or potatoes or etc. The trouble is that if you're

constantly eating an avoid you're not feeling the full benefits of the diet

or the extent of the damage. I am an " except for " off and on. My killer is

coffee. It beckons me if I'm tired. It's in every office building, workshop,

and most homes. The difference is that I know it and fight it. Since I

fight it, it's a seriously bad avoid for me and makes me sicker than a dog.

I could peel paint with the stomach acid. If I constantly drank it, it

wouldn't effect me nearly as much because my body would adjust to it. I'd

just feel tired and a little sick at the end of the day. The damage would

still be being done; I'd just not notice as much. You'd think I'd figure it

out. I do it infrequently now and will beat it eventually.

Regina, this diet is hard at first. We have to find and cook our own foods.

Examine every morsel we eat, avoid restaurants, friends concoctions, parties,

bars, processed foods, etc. You have to go to the HFS. " Periphery " shop at

the grocery (around the outside--LOL). You have to be committed but once you

feel the health come back you won't even notice the extra work. It's a long

journey, take that first step.

[Guest guest]

OH eggs! I never thought of that. I like hardboiled eggs. And maybe a piece

of fruit? Okay I am starting to get more excited about this. I am so ready

to be done with this acid reflux! It is more then just a little burning

feeling I get. It actually makes me dizzy, light headed and makes me feel

like I am going to passout, makes me feel like I can't breath and the list

just goes on. Okay tonight I am cooking eggs!

Thanks!

I also wanted to add Max that I am just like you described yourself to be.

If I cheat with this little bit over here I will give in somewhere else

later. I think my two hardest things will be bread and Dr. Pepper. I like

you with your coffee use Dr. Pepper to wake up. So I am sure I will have

some " oops " with that. Bread is a hard one for me because I like to have a

sandwich for lunch. It is quick and easy. But I got the ezikal bread and

today I got some roast beef. I goofed though and got Swiss Cheese instead of

Mozzerlla so I need to change that.

Well I think I am about ready to start this.. wish me luck!

Regina, Do you have a Forman Grill? I can cook an nice meal with

my grill in 5 min or less. Throw on the meat, make a salad, steam

veggies in the micro. Quick and easy! Some days I just throw everything

in my crockpot and rush out the door. And when I get home it is ready! I

also have no time for breakfast so I make Spritein protein drink with

rice milk, pour it in a paper cup and drink it on my way to work. Lunch

is usually a salad or left overs from last night.

I don't have that but we are thinking about getting a turbo cooker. What is

a Spritein Protien Drink??
