Blood type diet

Thanks to Amy for giving us these compliant Mexican/Southwest recipes, and the
sources for the spelt tortillas. I have hated to give up Mexican food, and
these dishes sound not only compliant, but delicious.
A word of warning: The starches and cheeses are compliant in that they are
neutral. I understand Neutral to mean the food is safe for us to eat. It has
good nutritional value for our needs, and won’t cause harm to us, like wheat and
corn would. Their ratings in this area are not Highly Beneficial, as HB foods
tend to have even higher nutritional values, AND have an effect that not only
causes no harm, but promotes healing and healthier bodily functioning at all
levels. So, there is nothing wrong with neutrals. The extent to which one wants
to enhance their health will determine how many neutrals they eat. Let’s face
it. Neutrals do add a nice variety, and allow those of us who are cooks to not
have to stress out over recipes. Using neutrals, most avoids can be substituted
out.
One thing though, the dairy and starches, while neutral, do contribute to weight

gain. Whether or not this is a bad thing is an individual choice, and each of
us will know how much neutrals to eat, and keep our weight at a level where we
feel good and stay healthy. For me, I’ve had to keep these products at a very
low level. If I look at a brick of mozzarella, my pants start getting too
tight. Really, I gain weight so easily. Not everyone will experience that.
By the way, if you really like mozzarella, and love the Italian Tomato Caprese
salad, with real ripe tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, you were probably sad
when you learned that tomatoes are an Avoid. Try this: When I just have to
have caprese, I make it with red bell peppers, which I have fire roasted, or pan
sauteed with a little olive oil, until they start to caramelize. Then serve
with mozzarella as you would tomatoes: with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh
basil. It’s better than the original!
