Hello

,
My name is Joan, I am a widow, 67 years old and just starting out on this
new way of eating. A friend told me of it initially and she praised it so
highly that I decided I would try it. I am reasonably healthy, some
osteoarthritis, a kidney disease that is fairly mild at the moment, low
thyroid function and maybe about 20lbs overweight.
The thing about this diet that amazes me is that most of the forbidden
foods are things I have never liked very much anyway, cheese, milk and
dairy products have never been high on my diet, I have always enjoyed meat
so eating it is no hardship for me. The thing I will miss is bread and
wheat products.
I live in Canada, in Alberta where we also get very cold winters, I don’t
enjoy the cold at all but prefer it to the damp and wet climates that some
parts of the world get. I emigrated to Canada from England in 1967 and
apart from living for various periods in Indonesia, Trinidad and the USA

have been in Canada ever since.
One of my biggest problems with eating is finding recipes that don’t make
huge amounts of food, I bought the Cooking Right 4 Your Type a few days ago
so am only just beginning to change over from a diet high in carbohydrates
to a higher protein diet.
I am sure I will learn a lot from this list and am looking forward to
reading all the letters from other Type O people!
Joan

    all,
    I don’t post much, but I sure love to read others and the advise
    here is great. I just found your site Thomas and definately plan to
    start ordering from you instead of Dr. D’s site….much cheaper!!
    Thank yo to all of you with allof your wisdom. I have been on the
    diet and have read both books, ER/LR and use the cookbook for about 8
    months now and do absolutely LOVE it!!
    Thanks to all,
    Tina

    I don’t post often either. I like to lurk and read the posts. I think I got
    deleted from the one list, but honestly, I didn’t like theri attitude anyway.

    I know this is going on and on, but I, too, was unsubscribed for
    daring to give a differing opinion. <sheesh
    better, as everyone is whole-heartedly agreeing! Thanks, thanks,
    thanks!
    Teresa, I also live in Ausin, southwest part. Maybe we’ll run into
    each other some time. <g

    have Steve as our moderator and Thomas as our advisor and Axel as our
    stress reducer and Lilla and Leslie, Crystal, Karen, Peter, CB,
    Michelle, Noel, Jerry, Ann, Bonny, Juni, Elize… and all the
    beautiful people that make this list so interesting and caring. With
    the policies of those other lists I would have been deleted from here
    long time ago because I do not post often either…

    Hi Max,
    I think that everyone is out buying their HB’s for the HB challenge. I have
    been out of town on business and just had time to read, not write.
