New in the group
Hi, I would like to join your e-group, I think (hope) I did the joining part
correctly.
I am another “O” who used to be on Atkins diet (successfully) but I had a
hard time going without fruit. I just started with the blood group way of
eating now and will need some friendly words to keep me going as I keep on
having to talk with people who think its a fad or worriedly try and tell me
to “eat low fat, low protein, high carbo”.
Though even with Atkins my health was great and my cholesterol etc. smack
center. I have read the D’adamo book twice and go to his WebPage now and
them. This whole theory make such a lot of sense to me especially being
married to an “A” who
naturally love grains and veggies and through our whole marriage tried to
convince me to cut down on meat and eat “healthier” whole-wheat products.
Even though my dear husband is an engineer and great skeptic (loves
empirically proven stuff) I am getting him to look into this with an open
mind.
I will be joining from South Africa and being an European “O” in Africa do
have its advantages! Grains like Sorghum (a variety of Millet) Rooibos tea,
fruit from the field, game. ostrich are easy to come by.
Thanks for having this e-group and I hope it will be OK for me to join.

HI Marielize,
Welcome to our “O” group and the right way of eating for the rest of your
life. The longer you are on this diet the easier it becomes. IF you have any
questions you need answered, you have come to the right place. We have quite
a lot of well informed and scholarly people here, if not actively answering,
definitely lurking. When they see a question that has come up and all of the
rest of us have answered as well as we know how, the holistic health people
will come in and give you excellent information. Good Luck and,
aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii,

Dear Marielize
Welcome to the group from a fellow South African.
Hi also to the rest of the group - first day back at the PC as I just returned
from my trip to India.
Thanks to all of you for keeping me posted on the new foods added to the list
and hi and thanks to you Steve as you really are such a great help.
I always find my messages from the ER4YT the highlight of the day as through all
of you I get to learn so much more.
Blessings

Speaking of new foods, is there a comprehensive list available here or on the
web?
