Blood type diet

Jessika, congratulations that you have quit smoking. My husband is trying to
quit, but he has smoked for almost 30 years, and he started when he was 11.
I’ve seen how he struggles with this, so I am impressed you gave it up 3
weeks ago.
I have never been a smoker, so hopefully other people on the list can help
you with the cravings you get as part of the withdrawal. I know it is
typical that people who quit the cigs put on about 20 pounds, so you are wise
to be on top of this from day 1.
Remember with the “appropriate” carbohydrates like rye, you still want to eat
very small quantities. Dr. D’Adamo tells us to avoid wheat, corn and some
other grains not because they cause weight gain, but because they cause
damage to our digestive systems, causing bloating, constipation, irritable
bowel syndrome, acid reflux, even Crohn’s Disease and worse. In destroying
our digestive systems, they also destroy our immune systems, as our bodies
expend all their energy trying to repair the damage in the intestines.

Hi after cutting out all wheat and gluten (i suspected coeliac
disease)I still don’t feel 100% and am about to look into this diet
for my blood type O+. Can anyone recommend it - not just for weight
loss (a bonus) but for well being. I suspect food intolerances are
what’s giving me dark circles under my eyes as its certainly not lack
of sleep! I’m in the UK can anyone recommend a good book as there
seems so many

Hello everyone! My name is Coryn and I am new to the group. I started the ER4YT
(O+, secretor?) a year ago and lost 22 pounds and saw a drop (10 points) in my
usually medium range blood pressure. Then…STRESS hit…(I’ll spare you the
gorey details!) and I started eating all wrong foods and not exercising, yadda,
yadda…
I recently bought CookR4YT and as soon as life calms a bit, I will be able to
get back in the swing of things. I can truly say that I follow it 50% percent of
the time but I am finding that it just doesn’t work that way!! We are all O’s in
my house (and in my immediate family) so cooking is easy. I take all the right
vitamins etc so I haven’t fallen all the way off the wagon! Except for eggs… I
LOVE eggs!! My son and I split 2 eggs and 4 egg whites every morning. My
question is…what part of the egg is bad for us O’s? The yolk? The white? The
whole darn egg?? I just can’t give them up!! We only eat sprouted wheat bread
and spelt everything, I switched to soy milk…but I can’t do the “3 eggs a
week” thing. HELP!!!!!!! =)

My monthly weight loss is decreasing each month. So I just bought the
Balance Log- a computer program to track my eating. When it came to
setting the diet couldn’t find the percentages I need. What should my
protein,fat, and carbs be if am following the O and want to lose weight?
Am I missing this info in one of the books?
Thanks
Linda

Pat, I have lost 63 pounds since starting the diet in October. So far, I
haven’t been watching portions just changed to the correct foods. I also
joined Curves and have gone at least 3 per week since November. My MD
is so impressed he is borrowing my book to read.

Eat Right 4 Your Type is not a diet. So you can eat all you want. It is a
meal plan and a healthy living plan. If you are Type O you can eat a lot of
animial protein (meat and eggs) and vegetables. If you want to lose weight,
just cut out carbohydrates, or cut them way back. For instance, make
hamburgers for lunch. You may have two or even three hamburger patties and a
big salad. Trust me, you won’t be hungry. Your teenager may have a big
hamburger or two small ones, and whatever else you are serving (salad,
chips, milk, whatever). The two little ones would each have a small burger
and some milk or juice.
This is not too hard to do with a family. Just make all the food they want
or need, and be sure each meal includes animal protein. Then you can have
extra of the protein, and delete the carbohydrates. On a traditional “diet”
you are depriving yourself, and trying to live on some crazy, reduced-calorie
starvation routine. This is about being healthy, and eating when you are

Hi everyone, I have been going through this thyroid debacle for almost a year. I
have been on the ER4YBT for about 4 months. I am O+ secreter status unknown. I
do all of what I thought were the good things, flax seed oil, COQ10, B12,
multiple vitamin. Eat only what I should, occaisional slip and have a hersheys
bar, with almonds, of course. Other than that, drink only water and green tea.
Well, today, I got a shock! My initial blood work showed the following:
1st reading today
Cholesterol 214 231
tryglycerides 81 67
HDL 62 63
LDL 135 154
Where did I go wrong????? Could it be the flax seed oil??
All the other values, even my thryoid, are within range. Any help sure will be
appreciated.
blessings,

Hi guys,
Is there a cure for arthritis?
I have been following the specific carbohydrate diet (no complex
carbohydrates) for more than two years now because I have the crohns
disease. The crohns is ok but last year (also in march) I got arthritis. it
started only in my feet joints. I followed the advise I got on this list of
eliminating the diary and after a while the arthritis was reduced (not sure
whether it was the diet or just by chance)
Two weeks ago, my knee joint got inflamed and some kind of a liquid is
accumulating there. The doctor has taken this fluid out of the knee but new
fluid keeps coming back (even after one local injection of cortisone). The
doctor is not sure whether it is arthritis but I have the feeling that it
is. I would like to ask whether there are other people who have developed
the same condition and whether there are any treatments for this condition.
Thank you and kind regards,

Has anyone tried the recipe for olive oil mayo from CR4YT? I just did and it
remained liquid. Is there any way to thicken it now? I don’t know what I did
wrong, but I guess I can combine it with something else and make some sort of
salad dressing.

Is there anything I can do for appetite control? As soon as I start any diet I’m
starving all the time, I’ll eat till I’m sick just thinking about dieting and I
normally don’t eat that much. I have type 2 diabetes and I really need to lose
20 pounds at least, 30 would be even better. I have 2 small children and a
teenager so it seems like I’m making 3 different kinds of stuff at every meal
which also makes it harder to stick to a diet.
help!
