Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I try to eat protien and veggies at every meal. Snack on fruits and nuts and try to limit grains to one serving per day. I also indulge in a lot of chocolate, but I only needed to lose 15lbs and the last 7 dropped off in February.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Betsy, This post did come through. I'm having the strange problem that my messages are being posted, but I'm not receiving them. The only way I know they got through is by going directly to the Groups website and seeing them there. Good luck! Dianne in L.A. O+ non-secretor new member post Hi, I joined this list about 10 days ago, and have been reading with great interest. This morning I got up enough nerve to post a question -- but it hasn't appeared yet. Then I remembered some conversation a few days ago about the list having been abandoned by its owners, and since new members can only post with permission, that would explain why my post hasn't shown up. Is there anything anyone can do to flick that switch that will enable me to post? I don't know the answer to her question, so I am posting it to the list for her, in hopes that someone can answer. Betsy This is what I wrote this morning: ---------------- Hi, I'm very new to this plan, having been pointed to it by a nutritionist about a month ago (I didn't start following the plan until last week). I am trying to figure out what a daily meal plan looks like, and the books aren't much help as they don't specify types or portions, just food options. Have any of you worked out a daily meal plan that looks something like this: Breakfast: protein, dairy, grain, fruit Lunch: protein, grain, vegetables etc. and then worked out what kind of portions to have? I have been off sugar, wheat, flour, and most dairy for the past year anyway, so that's not a major change for me. I have also lost 80 pounds over the past few years, and consider that I have another 20-30 to go, so I'd like to be losing weight on this plan, though it's not as much of a priority as getting myself feeling better. I typically eat three meals a day, with an optional snack in the late afternoon if dinner is going to be later than usual. I've tried to work out a weekly plan, plugging in how many times a week D'Adamo recommends each type of food, but I'm getting lost with that approach. Do you have any recommendations for me? By the way, I have no idea whether I'm secretor or non-, but am definitely type O. Thanks for whatever help you can give me. Carolyn ckc@...

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Welcome and congratulations on your success so far. - I would suggest that you keep the general way you're eating now since it's been successful for you. Just substitute beneficials or neutrals for any avoids. - If you're not having protein at least with every main meal I would make that modification. Hope that helps, D'Adamo just gives the portions as a guideline. - Work in more fruit and healthy oils/nuts if you've avoided those with past weight loss efforts. They can gradually replace grains that are above the required servings. - You might check out the Diabetes book from the Health Library. It gives a four week phase-in and is also good for weight management. - I also advise that you find out your secretor status. There's a pretty big difference even within Type O, mainly more meat and less grain for non-secretors. - A good target is several beneficial foods every day with at least one beneficial protein every day.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Thank you to all who have responded to my post via Betsy (and thank you Betsy for posting it for me). My post appears to have shown up today, so I think I'm set -- I suppose if you're reading this, that means I am. Couple of questions (okay, more than a " couple " ): Do nuts serve as a protein? Are dried versions of the beneficial and neutral fruits acceptable substitutes? Robin, you said you eat protein and vegetables at each meal -- including breakfast? When you refer to BTD, is that Blood Type Diet, which is simply the overall name for the plan? I don't use dairy anyway, because I'm lactose intolerant, so I've been using soy yogurt -- does that count as a dairy or as a protein or as a bean? I never know where to place that when calculating portions. I'm in the process of seeking out the diabetes book (as it runs in my family, I'm probably meant to be looking at this), and in the meantime, have adapted my current meal plan to the beneficials and neutrals. I haven't had some of the fruits (bananas, grapes, cherries) in quite a while because the plan I was on previously advised against them because of the concentrated sugar. Does anyone have experience with this as a detriment to weight loss? Is is okay if I post a few days' worth of menus here, so you can tell me if I'm doing this right? Or is that not appropriate?

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Carolyn - nuts are source of fat Dried fruits - yes If you are doing this diet to get healthy and to prevent further damage and feel as good as you can, the answer is animal protein, green veggies, fat every time you eat. Thinking that a high sugar, high starch breakfast is healthy for us is beyond words. After fasting for 8 hours, the body needs fuel to function all day. That is why we eat. Treat food as the most powerful drug in the world - if you think I am exaggerating, see how many people are capable of giving up wheat or dairy for good. Realize that you are what you eat.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Here's my take on your questions: Nuts: They do serve as some protein. I don't think it would ever be wise to rely on them as a sole source of protein, but they are certainly functional for filling little gaps especially if you eat several small meals a day. Dried fruits and vegetables are like nuts in that they do serve as substitutes, but it isn't wise to rely on them as anything but small contributors to your overall total calories. Dried fruits and vegetables have higher calorie counts per gram and also are higher on the glycemic index unless you drink sufficient water at the same time you eat them. I can't respond to what Robin does :-) but I think a goal of eating protein and vegetable at each meal is excellent. BTD or Blood Type Diet are both just ways some of us refer to this way of living. There really isn't a hard, fixed way of identifying this collection of choices that we make, but I think we'd all understand either on this board. Among people who don't know about it you might try explaining the hallmarks of how you eat (i.e. protein, veggies, beneficial foods etc.) before you give them a convenient label which may make them toss it on the ash heap of " fad diets " For the average non-curious person it's a confusing thing to relate blood type to health and eating properly so many just think it's a hoax just from the label of " Blood Type Diet. " I'm not sure about anything soy because I'm a Non-Secretor and avoid soy with a passion :-) The three fruits you mentioned have varying glycemic indexes. Bananas have the highest, grapes a moderate to low and cherries have a pretty low glycemic index (assuming you are referring to the fresh fruit and not dried). Glycemic index (how fast the sugar begins to circulate in the blood and effect blood sugar levels) and Glycemic load (Glycemic index adjusted to a real amount by the amount of the food eaten) are the important considerations when determining the effect these foods could have in helping you avoid Type 2 Adult onset Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes most common characteristic is insulin resistance. Your cells must receive nutrition to continue living and operating and these nutrients are driven into the cells by insulin. One theory suggests that constantly elevated insulin levels (often caused by consuming exclusively high glycemic index foods in high amounts, aka high glycemic loads) over a long time (our young adult and adult life) are a cause of insulin resistance. I think you're safe eating the cherries and even the grapes. Eat bananas but be aware to eat just one piece of a banana at a time so you don't spike your insulin. If possible eat some nuts or protein just in advance of the banana and it will ease the effect of an insulin increase slightly. Posting actual foods and times you eat is an excellent way to get good feedback from the group. I hope this helps :-) Tom , 40 Type O, Non-Secretor Arlington, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Post your diet - soy yogurt is a source of sugar/carbs. Not sure of a food? Look at the label. 6 grams of protein and 34 gr of carbs in a yogurt qualifies it a carb. Soy is not very good for you daily. Most people make the mistake of replacing avoids (regular yogurt) with soy yogurt as an example. Spelt instead of wheat. That is not what the O diet is all about. I guess you have to learn to eat the O way. We have been programmed by the media to eat a certain way for decades. I know the switch is not easy.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 > Robin, you said you eat protein and vegetables at each meal -- including > breakfast? Sorry for the brevity of my earlier message. I had a fussing baby in my lap. YES! By meals I meant breakfast lunch and dinner. Try sauteeing a bunch of swiss chard with olive oil and garlic for breakfast and then topping it with an egg cooked over easy or softboiled. You will never want hash browns and toast again!!! Once I got serious about green leafy vegetables and got wheat mostly out of my diet, I began to feel sooo good that my old notions about meals just slipped away. Also, when I ditched the popular idea that fats are bad and whole wheat is good, I finally lost those hard to lose last few pounds that every other diet/way of eating failed to take off. I forgot to mention beverages in my earlier post. I drink filtered water or seltzer as often as I am thirsty during the day and one serving per day of each: green tea and beneficial juice. BTW, black cherry juice is best diluted with seltzer. Fussing baby is back. Fancy that, she thinks I should be reading her books instead of staring at the computer screen. -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Carolyn - I don't want to sound too harsh, plus I don't know what shape you are in, or if you have any ailments. 1 - fruits - only on an empty stomach. Eating fruit after a meal makes the fruit ferment. Do you get bloated, gassy? 2 - you are consuming way too many carbs and too little protein. Just imagine how much better you would feel if you eat like an O. 3 - too much soy and it is toxic to the O system if consumed regularly. 4 - melons - always alone. 5 - where is FAT?????

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 , thank you for the feedback. You don't sound harsh. I'm still learning this plan (it's only been about 12 days I've been using it to any degree), and I am open to any suggestions. > 1 - fruits - only on an empty stomach. Eating fruit after a meal makes > the fruit ferment. Do you get bloated, gassy? I don't feel bloated or gassy when eating fruit. I looked back in the two books and nowhere do I see anything about eating fruit alone. In fact, all the sample menus have fruit as part of a meal. Where is this information coming from? > 2 - you are consuming way too many carbs and too little protein. Yes, this I know. I'm coming off a meal plan that relies on starches and grains, and so the switch is a little slow, but I'm working on it. That's why my portion of sweet potato (mentioned earlier) is so big -- the portion on that plan is 8 oz potatoes, 1 cup rice/etc. > 3 - too much soy and it is toxic to the O system if consumed regularly. Working on that too. I anticipate using soy only a few times a week, if that. I won't be buying more of it. > 4 - melons - always alone. Again, where can I find that in the literature? As for melons in general, I thought melons were avoids (only watermelon is okay). > 5 - where is FAT????? You thrive on it! And I have plenty of it. Salad dressing, mayonnaise (no sugar), oil to cook in, almond butter, almonds, walnuts. I do have cholesterol issues, so I'm careful, but I'm not manic about low-fat or no-fat. I spent some time planning the next few days. Could you (anyone) please provide feedback to see if I'm getting it? 1 B: 1 egg, sauteed swiss chard/garlic/mushrooms, puffed rice w/soy milk L: lamb, salad w/walnuts & dried cherries, cherries D: chicken, kohlrabi, salad, plums 2 B: blueberry waffle (made with 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oats, soy powder, blueberries) L: scallops, salad, broccoli D: chicken, coleslaw (mayo), grapes 3 B: manna bread w/almond butter, soy yogurt L: Chinese sauteed chicken w/vegetables, rice D: salad w/beef Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Rules on fruit come from " food combining " for proper digestion.(different book) Eat fruit with nuts only for a snack or light meal. You have Soy everyday on your new schedule. Good fats help cholesterol. Starches are not good for cholesterol Good fats -- Flax oil, olive oil, almonds, walnuts, salmon oil caps. You are probably not getting enough. Salad dresssing and mayo are not usually good fats.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2004 Report Share Posted June 14, 2004 Hi Carolyn – I know others have responded to your reply already, but here is my take: FOOD COMBINING MADE EASY by Shelton I will not tell you to follow it 100%, but melons alone, fruits on an empty stomach, don’t mix veggies with fruits are good advises to follow. Here is another bog one: EAT SIMPLE! Don’t include too many different foods in the same meal. Once you eat that way, regardless of your blood type, YOU WILL FEEL BETTER. FAT: butter, ghee, olive oil, flax oil, - any of these at each meal, on top of your food unheated, at least 1 tablespoonful.
