Anxiety Problems (Type O-Secretor)

Monday, November 29th, 2004

Hi Gang,
I am hoping some of you will have some good advice for me. For the
last couple of years I’ve been having trouble, on & off, with
anxiety. Lately, the anxiety problems are getting pretty bad.
Probably because of my sister’s illness & death (diagnosed in June,
died Oct 25 of leukemia), loss of my job in June, etc.
Please, do any of you have any knowledgable solution(s) to my
problem? I really don’t want to have to resort to going to my doctor
who most likely give me a prescription for Paxil, etc. I don’t want
to put unneccessary chemicals into my body. I’ve worked since June
to cleanse it. HELP!!!
Donna

PUMPKIN SOUP

Monday, November 29th, 2004

My friend told me about this unusual recipe for Pumpkin Soup. Take
one average sized pumpkin or one that will fit whole in your oven in
a pan. Carve off the top to make a lid. Scoop out all the seeds.
Layer Gouda cheese and seasoned croutons in the cavity. Place in the
oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 2 hours or until the pumpkin
is tender enough so you can scrape the sides and bottom into a pulp.
Add half ‘n half cream and stir. Serve.
I imagine with some minor modifications this soup could be made
more ‘O’ friendly. Like seasoning Ezekiel or Spelt bread and making
croutons out of that. Use an ‘O’ friendly cheese.
I don’t particularly like the taste of pumpkin. I prefer sweet
potato. I told my friend (who made the soup) that I would probably
add cubed sweet potato to the mix because she said it just didn’t
make enough to go around. She liked that idea and said she is going
to try that too!

want to eat beef but afraid, any suggestions?

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

Hi,
I am so glad to have found this list and am learning so much from all of
you, thanks!
I have not eaten beef and most other meats for 24 years. About 10 years ago
I switched from being an ovo-lacto vegetarian, adding in chicken breast,
turkey breast and seafood.
I have been wanting to eat beef for a long time but have some kind of
irrational fear that it will make me sick or that I will not be able to
digest it. I now know it is irrational because I have seen some posts from
former strict vegetarians who now eat and enjoy beef.
I am looking for a source of grass fed beef, having read that it is the best
kind.
Can anyone offer any suggestions for overcoming this fear and eating beef?
Also, is there a certain cut or easy preparation that would be good to try
first? I am following the current beef thread with interest as I have no

MEAT EATING AND COOKING FOR O+, A PREVIOUS VEGGIE

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

Subject: RE: Beef, cuts, cooking, etc
I HAVE FOUND THAT SIRLOIN STEAKS AKA “LONDON BROIL” CAN BE EXCELLENT WHEN
COOKED WITH GARLIC IN A CAST IRON PAN ON HIGH HEAT TOP OF STOVE.
IT CAN THEN BE SLICED (AGAINST THE GRAIN) AND MUNCHED ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
VERY FLAVORFUL AND PRICED WELL TOO. THAT WITH A BAKED YAM AND SPINACH IS MY
NEW FAVORITE MEAL!
I WAS A VEGGIE FOR YEARS AS WELL, THIS IS A DIFFICULT TRANSITION, BUT
SUCCESSFUL.
GOOD LUCK!

gaining weight for winter

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

Well, I live in Minnesota and though the weather has
been more than kind I fear the inevitable winter. I have
succeeded quite well on the low-carb diets… trying to
get closer to the paleoithic diet of the vast majority
of ancesters in my evolved past. But now I find myself
feasting on squashes of all types and mixing in palm
sugar, honey and molasses to make my squash more calorie
dense and cause the insulin spike to coerce my body into
fat-storage mode. I’m actually near binging on purpose
on sweets and all sorts of dreaded foods in an effort to
put on protective body fat! I’m pathetic. I’ve gotten so
lean and “cut”. I look like those pansy city boys… you
know, the kind that are in all those stupid magazines. I
don’t want to be a skinny little fashion model in the
Minnesota winter! The first four years of my life was

5-HTP

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

Vicki - here is info from Dr D on 5-HTP… you might also want to consider
adding Dr D’s Catechol
5-HTP AND ABO BLOOD GROUPS (Dr D’Adamo)
QUESTION: Is the mood enhancer 5-HTP safe for all blood types?
Thanks for all your great work ! The O diet has already done wonders for
me in just two months and I’m feeling better every day.
ANSWER: 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is an amino acid that is the
intermediate step between tryptophan and the important brain chemical
serotonin. There is a considerable amount of evidence that suggests that
low serotonin levels are a common consequence of modern living. The
lifestyle and dietary practices of many people living in this
stress-filled era results in lowered levels of serotonin within the
brain.
Personally, I tend to not recommend 5HTP for my type A or type B
patients since there are studies suggesting that 5HTP increases cortisol

Beef, cuts, cooking, etc

Thursday, November 25th, 2004

Because I “kicked” beef in college, until recently, I hadn’t bought
it, cooked it, etc. I bought some top round, then sauteed it with
onions and garlic (like I do chicken). It was very tough. Then I
bought a chuck roast and put it in a slow cooker with sweet potatoes
and onions. Much better. My sister bought some NY strips last night
and pan fried them. We had them with grilled onions, etc. It was
tasty, but tough. She said something about cooking at low heat and
for a long time on oven stuff, and faster with high heat for grilling.
I just roasted? some boneless beef ribs with wheat-free tamari, onion
and garlic flakes, at 300F for 1 hour. Pretty tasty.
Any suggestions on cuts, cooking, etc? Maybe there’s a “beef eaters”
web site with this basic info. I feel so ignorant; 44 and no
experience with beef! <g
Thanks for any feedback,
E Long in TX
