HB Salad for Os/dilemma
Hi Ossss:
Does anyone here make exclusively HB salads for O’s?
I’ve always used just Iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, & cucumbers for salads.
But, tomatoes are neutral, cuckes are an AVOID, and Iceberg lettuce, I
believe is neutral. I can used Romaine lettuce instead, but I’m looking for
other HB ingredients. All I could come up with were adzuki beans, onions,
spinach, romaine and olive oil. I understand Dr. D’s new encyclopedia has
an expanded list of HBs. But I don’t have the book yet.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.
Best wishes,

Hi Karen
Though parsnips are not like carrots, though they look similar, chopped
small they would be good in a salad along with fresh spinach and Romaine
lettuce, chard, kale, broccoli. If you eat beets and can get them fresh the
greens go good in a salad also. These are some of the things I’ve used
during an HB challenge.

Can’t remember if figs are HB, but they taste pretty good in salad,
especially along with a little goat cheese! That’s a good question,
though. I haven’t been in the mood for salad lately so I haven’t
eaten much. I do buy organic, raw kim chi from Rejeuvenate Foods–the
juice from this makes a good salad dressing. I also bought culture
from The Body Ecology Diet web site so I could make cultured veggies
with HB foods, but have been a bit lazy so haven’t gotten around to
doing it. It’s too easy to buy the delicious kim chi from Rejeuvenate.
Peace,
Lisa

Red pepper, grated HB root vegetables can be used plus green
herbs, most of all parsley, for nonsecretors tarragon, basil, oregano.

What is kim chi, please? ( Sounds like something
Japanese/Chinese.)

Yum! I thought it was banned forever when I saw cabbage was an avoid.
Now it’s neutral. Whew!

This is interesting, I have been eating less too. Maybe because it’s
getting colder…seasons–the body just knows. As far as salad
ingredients, in addition to the ones already mentioned, I would add
chicory, dandelion, ginger, onion (all kinds), artichoke hearts,
kelp, escarole, okra (pickled is yummy, but make sure it’s apple
cider vinegar!), and any of the dozens of chiles (peppers to you
Yankees).
Cheers,
Ryan

Interesting. I know people who kind of eat like that. They won’t mix
any food on the plate together. I always thought they were weird!
Guess not…
Is this the gist (from “Fit for Life”):
Fruits alone
Veggies with meat
Veggies with grains
Never grains and meat
Just wondering, because I thought I saw something on this list about
eating protein to balance carbs, and that would blow it all to heck.
Am I missing something?

Actually, that was a bigger picture kind of a thing. Eating protein
to balance out an over-consumption of carbs. A type O individual
needs to be more concerned with eating more protein than with overall
calories.

Not necessarily on a per meal basis, but on a daily basis…

Gotcha. I was thinking a per meal basis. Makes more sense.
Speaking of carbs, I was a b-a-d girl yesterday. Had some compliant
chocolate and spelt bread toasted with butter, oh yeah and did I
mention the pineapple jelly? Just a little beef jerky, but not enough
to offset the carbs. I feel yukky today, with swelled belly. Really
hard to wake up… I’m learning these lessons the hard way! You don’t
realize how good you really feel until you feel lousy after a bad
day.
