OK I hope you find this humorous. I’ve had a long day with nursing 2
children, potty training my 2 yo, etc. etc. it is almost 11 pm where I
live…anyway as I was reading this post…let me get this straight
*All dairy/eggs are avoid or occasional
*Same with black beans
*Same with all grain products (even those listed as neutral in the original
book)
*Since I’m nursing a B child and an O child I also pay attention to B list,
where turkey is an avoid/occasional.
*No tomatoes, tofu, or chicken for me (B avoids) or any products containing
them.
*No corn either.
*No seltzer water (B avoid)
Guess I’ll just buy a cow, a lamb, and a deer and eat that for the rest of my
life LOL (with no side items on the plate, I’m sure to find out those are
avoids LOL).
OK, my sleep deprived mind is going to bed,

Really,
I think eggs are fine, Actually, they are nourishing food for Adrenals.
That’s a beneficial for a sluggish thyroid which is typical of O’s. Adrenals
can pull weak thyroids…get a little more horsepower goin there with the lil
babes and all. I think I read that eggs were omitted from the HB list for
O’s in ER4YT. I hope someone can reach an answer of peace! Me, i’m fine
with eggs. Best in an excercising, water drinker. As they are still a high
cholesteral item. Not a problem with typical O who probably will be chasing
down his lunch at high speeds later that day, then answering a stressful
phone call or some alarming news with pacing….
Bye for now

Hi Mary Ann,
My opinion may not be a popular one but I
Lynn
I don’t know if this list as a whole will be able to find peace on
the subject of eggs.
truly believe that it’s wrong for anyone to follow ANY diet verbatim.
We are all Type O’s, but we are all so very different. Some of us
can consume dairy with no problem. Some of us can’t eat red meat.
Some of us can’t tolerate spelt. Some of us gain weight on oatmeal,
some of us don’t. Some of us get energy from walnuts, some of us get
sick. And so on, and so on.
If you do well with eggs, enjoy!! None of us needs anyone’s
permission. Dr. D’Adamo has never claimed to have all the answers.
He says we would all benefit from seeing a nutritionist, using the
ER4YT program as a guideline.
Experiment with the program. For instance, stop eating corn and corn
products for 2-3 weeks and see if you notice a difference. If you’re
not sure, then have some corn and see how your body reacts.
I think a person could easily go batty trying to follow the program
by the letter. Just because a certain food is listed as an “HB”
(Highly Beneficial) doesn’t mean it’s going to sit well in your
system. Onions give me serious heartburn. I don’t care how HB they
are, they cause me pain, so forget it.
Anyway, do whatever works for you. That’s all I’m trying to say.

<<What you have to say makes a lot of sense. Everyone is different, its
called “Metabolic Individuality” and there is plenty of research to support
this theory. It pays to relax and enjoy life, be happy,laugh a lot, its
just as important as diet.
Although I agree, Dr. D’Adamo’s research relates to the long-term effect of
lectin damage. Just because eating a certain food doesn’t “fell bad” at the
time doesn’t mean it isn’t causing long-term damage.
It’s all a matter of balance. And yes, enjoying life should always be the
most important thing!!!

I agree…there are certain foods that aren’t good for people in
general, not just Type O’s. Dr. D’Adamo’s scientific research
definitely deserves our attention. However, there are many items on
the Type O “avoid” list that are not connected with potential lectin
damage. That’s where a nutritionist comes in…to sort out
“intolerances.”

AMen, Lynn,
The tricky part is getting well enough to begin to figure out what does and
doesn’t work well.
