From: Get this. I have a friend (type B) at work who is overweight. A
lot of it from being put on Paxil and birthcontrol pills at the
same time. Then a pregnancy. She’s watched me change and asked
all kinds of questions. My doctor has even approved and is
telling me that I’m losing weight at a sensible/will stay off
rate. When I told her she should stay away from chicken, her
favorite food, she dropped it. So after talking to her doctor
she was put on the Atkins diet, for a month, and then on the
Scarsdale diet for at least two weeks. He wants to keep her in
ketosis so switched her. It’s been two, but she’s still doing
it. She’s losing weight like crazy (she’s lost almost 60 pounds
in 6 weeks) but her mood swings are out of control. From minute
to minute she’ll be happy and singing to swearing and throwing
stuff around the office.

And I don’t know what I’m talking about because her DOCTOR is
telling her to do this. You’d think doctor’s would be a little
more aware that people are different and would understand the
blood type correlation.

I have to agree with you there, also if it doesn’t have wheat, it probably
has some form of corn including maltidextron.

We have been conditioned that a pill will fix everything. I preached this diet
to all of my friends and relatives and bought many of them the encyclopedia.
I regained a lot of my health right in front of them but it must be because
I’m lucky or the meds I take. It couldn’t possibly be my diet. All they say
is “I know you’re on that weird diet so can you eat such and such.” I tell
them to hold onto the book because when they get older they’re going to need it.
I am also astounded at the number of people who don’t know their blood type.
The one Godsend has been the popularity of the Atkins diet. It has directly
affected the wheat, sugar, corn syrup, and soy industries. Naturally, it’s
under constant attack.
It’s only a little hop to go from Atkins to the BTD for Os.

Great posting! I resolved to try it for a week and was already seeing
results by 4th day. Days 2 and 3 were hard due to body begging for sugar and
wheat. At this point I could care less what the base research shows as to
why this diet works, all I know is my body feels better and wonderful so it
works for me! I also don’t care a bit about what friends and relatives think
of the diet and me being on it, which is another ball of wax, dealing with
comments, criticisms and judgments.
Wheat is the worst culprit, IMO. (Well also sugars and pure junk sugar
foods.) However I wonder how all of America would feel if on a no-wheat
diet? I bet we’d be a happier place. If there is one thing I have noticed
after trying not to eat wheat it is that wheat seems everywhere and in every
meal here in America. ACK! We are a wheat-addicted nation and don’t even
know it! And the Gov’t keeps pushing wheat based carbs in the food pyramid!
