Blood type diet

*excuse me for being late* I read some posts, others I did not. I missed a few
days here and there.

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for responding to my confusion…
The program I have been using to track my meals in terms of calories, fat,
protein, carbs and vitamins, etc. is from FitDay.com; there must be some error
in the way it measures fat in some foods. It lists Ghee as having 13 gms. of fat
per tablespoon, olive oil (14 gms/tblsp), egg (5 gms/egg), squash (1 gm/squash),
banana (1 gm/banana), almonds (7 gm/22 almonds), etc… I think I may have
entered some things incorrectly…still, it would seem to be very challenging to
get 180 gms. of protein (720 calories), 180 gms. of carbs (720 calories), and
figuring a total of 1800 calories/day, leaves about 360 calories for fat (40

grams)…? The beef and other meats I eat are very lean (although this program
lists 17 gms of fat for a 6 oz steak), nuts are very high in fats, ghee and
olive oil are sooo high, almond butter is also….you get the picture. I’m just
trying to get a handle on proportions here at “Nutrition for Knuckle-heads 101″.
I’m really not as anal as this post might sound, but I would like to have a
better sense of where I should be in terms of portions for the big three. I’m
the kind of person that, without guidelines, will sometimes go most of the day
without eating and then eat tooo much at a single meal…you know the type.
*How long can you go without food when you are using your body strenuously? Your
description of eating a large, single meal sounds like the “Warrior Diet” or
something or other.*
*Dr. Hussman…*
I have been reading and re-reading these articles on Dr. Hussman’s Fitness
Page and am starting to grasp the numbers a little better, as well as some of
the chemical processes in digestion and energy production…(Yipes!…there’s a
lot of long words in there and we be just humble pirates here…) It is only 31
pages the first time but is slowly becoming that again times three… Numbers,
numbers, numbers!
*Yes. Uh. I hope you liked the huge post of links I gave out at the beginning of
this year. I think it was the 4th day or something. I’m sure I included the site
on mammalian metabolism, which gives you an idea, roughly, of our multi-fuel
engines.*
One last thought; folks have often recommended that we O non-secretors
should focus on getting enough protein and HB veggies, enough good quality fat
to calm the wildebeast in us (that includes massaging the food with ghee and
olive oil in my jungle!), lots of water, some fruit to tease the tongue and the
rare smattering of rice, bean or other neutral semi-food. I’ll admit it, I am
not a God and am not interested in applying (although Pan’s job might be
acceptable) but I am trying to be a good boy and turn my lustful gaze away from
that seductress…choco’late. Help me!…I jest but not so much.
How much fat is too much? Is the universe of caloric intake and consumption
really ruled by the number Gods?
*Number Gods. I ask this of you, Mr. Anders: have you ever met a _real_ God?
The only G-d I know is the almighty Biltong God. He, or, perhaps, she, as I have
learned that Biltong can manifest to us as either gender, is not a G-d that
necessarily follows the petty rules of modern man’s contrivances. The true power
of Biltong’s mighty energy, an energy quickly uniting with the power of love,
can only manifest as an interaction of the Great God Biltong, or, the Great
Biltong God. I don’t know which form of address is more appropriate (maybe it
depends on the company in whose presence it is dared uttered?). Something I’ve
learned is that when the anabolic process is activated the body’s reaction to
more food is more building, in a positive fashion. Instead of building less than
active tissue mass, a person eating a larger dinner may also stimulate the
body’s need for a larger breakfast. With people who have a less trustworthy
relationship to their body, metabolically speaking, to ensure one’s body a
healthy, supportive, adequate breakfast first thing (or nearly) in the morning
may be just the right coaxing to bring in the true spirit of Biltong’s wisdom
and guiding light. I think that for Os, having our amino acid pool, our
collective body-system’s workspace, fully stocked may be an important first step
to metabolic integrity. We can get by on a carb-rich, low or “eh” protein
breakfast, but I’ve noticed my “engine” just can’t get revved up. Or worse. That
high-carb morning stuff could put me into a morning torpor. That’s no fun.*
Thanks for any extra wisdom to balance my nonsense…
Michael, O-nonnie
(My stats are: strong as a horse at 190lbs. {or maybe a small horse with a bad
knee…don’t shoot me!}, 6′ tall, 45 years old, non-secretor, poor digestion and
not as dumb as a sack of hammers…)
*I don’t know how hooked you really are on the stims. I’m sorry. It is hard, to
run ragged. I know. Hey. I’ve been there. Mr. Anders, my father, a B, was/is
much the same. It’s not fun hanging around him. Some fudged up energy, man. At
least with chocolate you’re in a good mood, cruising on the love-substitute
phytopharmacological self-medication. The Goddess you worship is actually a God
of War. The Warrior Bean, Mr. Anders. The Warrior, paradoxically (or no?) the
love legume. But the spirit of a True Warrior of the Way can shine brightest
from the heart, as the One who knew of the Blood before the notarizing science
documented and extrapolated on it. Yes. I am drawn to wonder if, assuming that
there is something of metabolic sanity (I know I can engage in longer bouts of
exercise without easy access to my wonder-foods in a thermogenic
fat-metabolizing state on that bean, and other plants with stimulating
properties…) if it is possible to sustain a high level of energy simply by
eating more food, or perhaps it is mainly an issue of enough of the _right_
foods?*
May I speak outside the asterisks?
Thank you.
I’m just wondering if you resort to stims for your energy levels during the day.
How long do you go on a cup ‘o joe?
You’re a nonny. So… your protein needs are higher? Fat may be more important,
I don’t know. It seems nonnies are an older design. That’s okay, as long as you
work well within that system, acknowledging its problems I’m sure you can make
the engine the best it can be. I want the Os, and nonnies are *definetly* Os, to
feel freer to investigate into the world of fats. Even animal fats. You could
try an entire first half of the day without olive oil. I’ve done that. I’m not
able to do it again, quite yet.
You see, Mr. Anders, I’m not too much “into” the olive oil. I simply use it as a
caloric extender to my meals, when I’m cautious of my animal supplies. I like to
eat the lard, the suet, the tallow, whatever. I like my lamb fatty, and I cut it
up and cook up the huge collections of fat in my lamb right with the muscle meat
with all its wonderful, beautiful amino acids (not to mention minerals).
Actually, when I can, I separate the fat and cut it up and add it at the end of
cooking, to minimize it’s time in the stress of heat. I like to cook it gently,
tenderly, lovingly. It is delicate and beautiful, like a little girl. If you
treat the fat well, the fat will behave beautifully in your body. I’m not much
into long cooking. I think my hour simmered stew, with the vegetables thrown in
a little later and the herbs at an hour before “serving or packing” temp. works
well enough, at least for me.
I use the olive oil on a regular basis, simply as a way to fend off the
inevitable scramble for goods. The cold of Minnesota’s winter is easier when
surviving on the right foods. Especially for us cave men, ugh? Og! Og! Og! Og!
Grwaahahaaa! Crog like! I don’t use nearly as much butter when I’m mixing my
beef fat and olive oil, though I may still add some. That lipid profile chart
was included, I hope, in my huge list of links at the beginning of the year.
I’ve had some nice stretches. I tell ya. Depending on my body’s rejuvenatory
needs.. 5 ounces, 6 ounces, 7 ounces, 7 ounces with an ounce or two of kidneys
or liver? Maybe a little more liver if required? Ever eat near 3 ounces of liver
and then follow that up with 7 ounces of muscle, with 300-500 calories from fat
and an egg yolk or two added at room-temperature (so as not to hurt those
enzymes) mixed in at the end? Now that’s some digestive power and
nutrient/energy loading. That’s what life should be like. That’s the way a human
should live. That’s life, my friend. We should be able to be that much alive. I
think *I* deserve that freedom, anyway. Freedom and joy. It is a pure thing, a
pure joy, a pure freedom. It is beautiful. But it can also be a delicate thing.
And these drugs can take away our sense of self enough to hinder or sabotage our
own ability to provide for ourselves, respond to ourselves, to be *good* to our
selves. To llllove our selves.
See what kind of other animal fats you can procure for yourself and your tribe.
I’ve found that the HFS and the supermarket, and the asian grocers, they all
fail to provide the fat my O-body wants most. Actually, I never knew what kind
of energy my body wanted to run on most until I started making friends at my
local Farmer’s Market. That’s when I began to truly live. The emotional
well-being is worth it. I don’t have to resort to something like chocolate, or
anything else, in order to be happy. (Except for the exercise, need to exercise
in order to be emotionally/mentally happy and healthy. Without physical activity
the only way to be happy is through drugs or engaging my mind in a book or
something similar (a distraction).)
