lol. I don't think I'll forget it this time. So it seems, according to the alien rhesus theory, I am derived from the monkeys--atleast from my mom's side. My dad was O--still not completely sure if it is neg. or pos. for him. It was a military discharge paper from around 72' that said his blood type was just O no + or - . The mystery lingers on...

So I'm finally reading up on my Blood Type B diet suggestions, from the book Eat Right 4 Your Type. I think he's onto something.

I haven't tried it, but my sister-in-law swears by it. She has always been fit with daily exercise and non processed foods, but couldn't manage to loose the extra 10 pounds she wanted. Then someone told her bout the book "Eating Right for your Type". She said she feels way less sluggish, increased energy, and less bloated. Now that she has been doing it for just over three years she claims that when she eats something that's not right for her blood type her body reacts with headaches, water retention...... And she did manage to loose weight as an added bonus!!

Thank you for the tip about the book. I am learning a lot of useful things.

So as this draw my interest I searched for something in my language and I found this from DGE (German Corporation of Nutrition) :

..."This theorie (of Peter J. DÁdamo) is scientifically indefensible and the diet is deemed to be unhealthy."

Another consumer organisation says : "As we defiant of centuries long offences against this (DÁdamo´s) rules still be able to live, the question about sense and nonsense comes up!..."

"Sure enough it can be that you can lost weight because you are required to a more health-conscious nutrition! "

(this sure is complete incorrect english but I hope you can still get what I tried to translate- sorry. Can someone please tell me the incorrect words?)

Keeping a journal is smart.Really let you dial into to the cause and effect of the foods your eating.

Thank you. Yeah, pinpointing the good and the bads will be very important for me. Of course exercise is a must as well. ~~peace & love, rr~~

It really is(exercise) ,But Diet is the foundation.When we get that whole machine cranking right,everything just kinda falls into place.You kinda find that sweet spot.There is something liberating and empowering when you can harness the powers which dictate how you feel and why.It is always an ongoing work in progress.
I know I'm going to indulge in a Grimaldis pizza tonight since its cheat night,but I know what to expect.Tomorrow I will swell up a bit from the meats and sodium and feel a little bloated from the Carbs , it will take 24-36 hours to get my gut back to clean running.But I at least know the outcome and can pinpoint it's cause.

A quitter? You say you're eating a lot less, eating healthier, and exercising more - that doesn't sound like a quitter to me! You're still doing yourself good, so be kind to yourself rather than beating yourself up.

I agree.As long as your moving forward and not backward its a good thing.Build on your momentum ,when you can and it feels right.
All plans and diets should also take the individual into account.One size dosent fit all.It should always be about what's right for you.

pg. 337 & 338-- Eat Right 4 Your Type

"Like genes, some blood types are dominant over others. In the cellular creation of a new human being, Type A and Type B are dominant over Type O. If at conception the embryo is given an A gene from the mother and an O gene from the father, the infant will be Type A--although it will continue to carry the father's O gene unexpressed in its DNA. When the infant grows up and passes these genes to its offspring, half of the genes will be for Type A blood and half will be for Type O blood.

Because A and B are equally strong, you are Type AB if you received an A gene from one parent and a B gene from the other. Finally, because the O gene is recessive to all the others, you are Type O only if you receive an O gene from each parent.

It is possible for two Type A parents to conceive a child who is Type O. This happens when the parents each have one A gene and one O gene and both pass the O gene on to the offspring. In the same way two brown-eyed parents can conceive a blue-eyed offspring, if each carries the sleeping recessive gene for blue eyes."

I remember learning something like this in high school biology. I am B negative. My grandmother was AB negative. I know this because once, in her later years, she needed a blood transfusion and we were told that her type is very rare and there wasn't much available locally. I think she used it all. I don't know what my parents are. And I only know mine because I ordered a kit off the internet. I am presuming it was accurate. I had to puncture my finger and put a spot of blood on each of several spots on a card. The spot on the card that changed was the one that identified the blood type.
