Blood type diet

Dr. D’Adamo continues his research, so all questions are not answered.
Ultimately, every point of view, whether it is dietary, religious, political,
etc.,
can put forward a solid case on paper. If we decide to never take action
till all questions are answered, then we never step out of our world. The
essence of making a change is taking a risk.
I had tried many ways of eating to be healthy. All had logical premises, and
none worked. When a friend told me about ER4YT, I was conflicted. On the
one hand, it sounded logical, based on evolution and endocrinology. On the
other hand, in the book, I found the explanation to be based more on conjecture,
anecdote and extrapolation than I would expect in a scientific investigation.
Still, when I looked at the diet, which proscribed meat and vegetables, I
decided that it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try it. It was just simple food that
ancient humans would have hunted and gathered. It did sound inherently logical.
Sure I had tons of questions, but I could see no harm, so I made the

Hi Tyra, and welcome to our group. I have been doing the O diet for 5 years,
with great results. I personally have always liked meat, but I have had
problems getting my husband to do this. He is an O, knows he needs to do it,
but
like you, he does not really care for meat, except a little chicken. Here are
some things we’ve done that helped him with this. He has lost 10 pounds so
far, and feels much, much better. He says the new diet and exercise program
gave him the push he needed, so he quit smoking last year.
First of all, if you like eggs, incorporate those into your diet. You can
have a few eggs every day, and many non-meat eaters like them.
Many organic sausages are available in compliant meats (lamb, duck, chicken,
turkey, beef). I find many people who don’t like to eat a chunk of meat will
enjoy a tasty sausage.
Try chopping meat, adding vegetables and rice, and using lots of spices. Be
real generous with the veggies, so there will be lots of things you like in

hey and hello!… I’m sooo very glad to of found you!
my name is Sue, and I live in British Columbia, Canada.
I read Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s book several years ago, when it first came
out.
I was vegan for a few months in the early 90’s, and then a whole
foods vegetarian for almost 4 years. At this time I had 2 very young
children and one pre-adolescent. I gained weight, got pre-menopausal
and had severe soft tissue problems. I also have carnivore animals
who I fed/feed a raw diet. So this meant I had to go to the local
slaughter house and buy raw animal parts.
It was extremely hard, I was starting to crave meat alot. I told my
naturopath, and he said it is quite normal, especially because I
am “type O”, and to read the book “Eat Right 4 Your Type”…
anyways, to make a reeeaaaly long story short… I read the book, and
felt like I “was going home”… it made soooo much sense to me…

Greetings to all!
My name is Tyra and I just recently read ER4YT for the first time. My friend
gave this book to me a few years back but I never read it because I skipped to
the section on “O’s” and saw that we are the big meat eaters. The problem for
me was that I have been a vegetarian for 8 years. So, a few years back when I
read only the abstract page for O’s I dismissed the book. Well, I have had 2
babies since then and have been in the midst of full blown sugar cravings. I
read another book about the importance of eating carbs with protein to decrease
sugar cravings. Before reading ER4YT, I had decided to reintroduce fish,
particularly salmon and tuna, into my diet. My body is most certainly out of
whack because it takes too long for me to lose my postpartum weight and the
cravings. I am so excited to find this book because the truth in it really
resonates with me. The only problem is that one of the reasons I became a
vegetarian is that I do not like meat. Never really did as a child and phased
it out in my young adulthood (I am 34). My body actually felt better after

I use a Brita water pitcher filter to get the chlorine out of our tap
water. Our water naturally filters through a few hundred feet of
pumice and is wonderful until the water treatment plant ads the
chlorine. I never worry about the free floating carbon in the top of
the pitcher since there is at least 1/3 cup of the stuff in there and
the most that ever floats out of the top is about 1/8 tsp. I’m
confident that the water in the bottom of the pitcher (the part you
drink) is adequately filtered. It sure tastes it!
Ugh. I ate a box of valentine chocolates. I didn’t bother reading
the ingredients. There’s nothing in there that isn’t an avoid.
What’s worse is that I bought them myself. I’ve got a long way to go.

Belinda, thanks for all the new recipes. I like finding new ways to cook
meat, and recipes for cuts I’ve never tried, like rib eye.
I have a question on the Flat Iron: I have tried to get this cut in the
past, as a local restaurant serves both a killer Flat Iron Steak, and a Flat
Iron
Steak & Spinach Salad. But when I went to the local butcher (local meaning
only one within a 2-hour drive in these parts), he claimed there’s no such cut,
and the restaurant must be making up a name for their house specialty. Well,
since then I’ve seen a cooking show do a Flat Iron Steak as well, so obviously
it does exist.
Could this cut of meat possibly be known by another name? Perhaps some
regional butchers would call it something different?

I’m glad you like the Food Pyramid idea.

Weston A. Price Foundation carries this as heavy in nutrition. Also, this
dentist’s research will make you think twice about a root canal. So sorry
Dr. Dean Ornish…(I grew up with the Ornish’s- very cool family with whom
to celebrate Passover.)…saturated fats really do a brain good.
We have spring water piped into our barnhouse- it is delectibly hard and
tasty- no good for cleaning clothes or making our whites whiter. So we dress
dingy and feel pretty good with no chlorine or flouride.
What kind of jerky? I have kinda enjoyed Shelton’s Turkey Jerky (reminds me
of a song by NCM-non-compus mentis- in the 80s called Turkey Lurkey). Is
your jerky nitrited? (being from the South and all, it is difficult to ask a
gentleman about his jerky, but for information sake, I must break
tradition-LOL).

I am currently without any of my ER4YT books - I just moved, and half of my
stuff is still in
storage. My 6 yr old has been fighting excema. After watching his diet
carefully and still
not having it get better, I started him on a children’s acidophilus suppliment
to help
balance his intestinal flora The candida die off is giving him hives. I’ve had the same problem before in
the past, and
I got a lot of relief from eating a few spices D’Adamo specifically listed for
hives/candida
in Live Right 4 Your Type.
The help I need are which spices these were. I remember cloves. I think thyme,
or
rosemary, or both, but I can’t remember for sure, and I can’t think of any
