Eating Fish/question of safety
Hi Daisy,
I eat fish frequently, as well as a variety of red meats/game meats. But
then, I love seafood. For O’s, saltwater fish is much better than fresh
water. I buy from a local family that has run a meat/fish market for several
generations, and they can always tell me the source of their products, as
well as whether it is organic, free-range, anti-biotic free, etc. They will
also special order these items for me if they don’t have them. There has
been information provided by others in previous posts regarding the higher
quality nutrition/purity of ocean fishes vs. farm-raised. I also avoid fish
caught in the SF Bay where I live, or any other bay, like Puget Sound, as I
feel they are more likely to be yucky from all the boat traffic and waste
leakages. I stick with Pacific and Atlantic fishes. The oceans are not 100%
pure of course, but then, most of what we breathe and drink is polluted too,
that’s the world we live in. I have a good source for meat/fish, ask
questions, make the best choice from the options presented to me.
To address your other question, of course you can eat too much meat, but I
doubt you will. When you eat properly for your blood type, you will reach a
satiation point after a reasonable amount of food. If you ate “too much” you
would feel ill and overstuffed. It’s easy to overeat a diet high in carbs
and avoids, because your body doesn’t recognize it is eating food, and keeps
demanding more, more, more. So, you overeat and gain weight, yet still feel
hungry all the time. When you eat the HB foods, and some neutrals, you will
never overeat. Sometimes I eat 3 regular size meals, sometimes my body wants
5-6 smaller meals. I just eat when I’m hungry, eat the right foods
(mostly!), and stop when I’m full. I speak from experience! I was
overweight for YEARS, and I am finally happy and healthy eating this way.
