Guest guest Posted October 3, 1999 Report Share Posted October 3, 1999 I would love to hear other peoples menus too. I ate fairly simply and healthy before so the big thing for me is to cut out pasta other than spelt or other non wheat - switched to Ezekial bread - eat sweet potatoes instead of white - and no corn. I eat fruit till about noon or if I need to eat more usually toast with almond butter and honey. Lunch try to eat salads with salmon or something in them. Eat some grilled almond or soy cheese sandwiches ( don't do dairy and use to be predominatly vegetarian). Today had tuna salad. Obviously I need ideas too. Dinners usually chicken or something with a veggie. Still like a lot of brown rice. Do spelt instead of whole wheat in my vegetarian pancakes. (From the Fit for Life Cookbook). My favorite meal of all is brown rice, baked beans and a yam. Stir frys are good. Remember not to overdo the acid foods - balance all that protein with alkaline (veggies). Personally I still don't believe in getting too carried away with animal proteins. Beef doesn't agree with me. Try to stick still with fish, etc. But I am trying really hard to avoid the avoids. Pinto beans are good for us. Simple is the key in my opinion. Jeanie of Alaska > From: Muddabler@... > > I am new to er4yt. I bought the book on my Doctors orders.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 1999 Report Share Posted October 4, 1999 PS: What I do for salads is buy a couple of heads of lettuce - romaine and a leaf lettuce for instance and slice a few cucumbers and a whole stalk of celery and make it up to munch on for about 3-5 days. If its only for one only use one head of lettuce and less other stuff. I hate making salads, so this saves me some trouble. Just have to make sure you eat it quick enough. You can add other stuff to it as desired. Jeanie Then try > putting together a salad at home to take with you to work.

Start really simple, but get started, and you may be surprised how interesting it can be. I have found breakfast to be the most difficult meal if I am out of my own kitchen - everything is wheat! Try Ezekiel bread (makes great toast) and an egg. Or dip the bread in the egg and make French toast. Maple syrup or fresh fruit or jam on top. Lunch out is easier -- look for salads with grilled chicken or seafood. Then try putting together a salad at home to take with you to work. A great simple salad dressing is olive oil, lime or lemon juice, and a little wheat-free tamari. Just take it one step at a time, and let us know how you are doing.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Hi, Terry! You bought the book on your doctor's orders? Wow! What kind of a doctor do you go to? My experience with MDs has been that most do not know very much about nutrition. I am also a fast-food junkie (not by choice), although I do love cooking but don't have the time. Cooking is such a wonderful creative thing to do, you will love it once you find some good things to make. Yum! I eat fast food sometimes because I am at work looking for something to eat while I sit at my desk (not a healthy thing to do, I know). I think there is a niche out there that needs to be filled -- fast-food healthy drive-throughs. What do you all think? Carol Help, New to er4yt From: Muddabler@... I am new to er4yt. I bought the book on my Doctors orders. I am a type o, and I do not know how to do this. I am a fast food junkie and do not cook. I need some help getting started. What do you eat for breakfast without drive thru? I know that may sound funny to you, but that is my current life. So. Please tell me some simple menu's for breakfast, and possibly for lunches to carry with me. I would tell you my current diet, but your all would probably get sick just hearing it.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Hi, ! I eat out frequently because I'm at the office during the day, and one of the 'stand-bys' I rely on is chicken Caesar salad because it has the romaine lettuce and the chicken, although I know it has parmesan cheese which is an avoid, and I try to avoid it by scraping off the lettuce leaves if I can. I guess I'm bound to ingest a little, but I try not to since I don't particularly like the taste, anyway. Also, I don't eat the croutons. I also ask for dressing on the side, which I apply sparingly if at all. I know it's not the best answer but because we lead such busy lives, sometimes we just have to do the best we can do. My dream is to stay home and cook properly but right now I have to suffer through and feel bad because of it. When I follow the O diet, I feel so much better. As far as Mexican food is concerned, I believe they use either pinto beans or red beans, which of course we can eat. Rice is a neutral. Chinese food has all those vegetables and rice, so it seems like it would be good for us, but you know how it is with food you don't prepare yourself. You don't know what's in there. Any ideas, anyone? Carol Re: Help, New to er4yt >Date: Sun, 3 Oct 1999 23:21:15 -0700 > >From: " jverner " <jverner@...> > > >Great idea for dressing!

Chinese menus with a basic rice and entrees that are beef, seafood, chicken and veggies work out pretty well. Mexican will run into corn, sour cream, cheese. Thai is heavy on coconut and coconut milk. And you can't beat a good steak with a veggie salad. Learn to order rice instead of potatoes and you are all set. Same goes for seafood. You almost have to insult the waiter to avoid having a basket of bread set on the table, and it's hard to resist once it's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Well....you must remember that chinese food has MSG which we don't need at all. I,myself, am appalled at how much MSG is everywhere in our food. It causes problems such as hair loss and other health related problems. It can do damage to your gall bladder or your sleeping problems. MSG is not good for both A and O. I am Blood type O and learned that MSG causes hair loss which I am experiencing right now. Just simply ask the people who run Chinese restaurants to eliminate MSG from your food. They will glady accept it. Just tell them that you are " allergic " to MSG. They will obey you! They work for me! Japanese food is great....I eat sushi...but not with raw food.....such as raw fish. I just cook up japanese rice which I find very excellent in taste and roll them up in seaweed. Just remember seaweed is RICH in kelp. We, blood type O's, need a lot of kelp to regulate our thyroids. I encourage you to learn how to make and eat sushi. Just be aware that if you put in raw fish...it can cause food poisoning. If you go to a japanese restaurant, you MAY be safe because they know how to keep you from getting food poisoning. Don't rely on raw fish in the U.S. or Canada. BE CAREFUL!

Not sure if the list is letting me post yet, so I'm also responding via PEM. Gosh, looking at that list, it's likely I have thyroid prob's. Going to see how ER4YT over the next couple months does before I head to a doc., though. But that's not the reason for my reply. Just wanted to pass on something I heard about a couple years ago ref. hair loss. There is a common ingredient in most shampoos that can lead to hair loss, which is sodium lauryl sulfate or SLS. It's pretty hard to find a shampoo that doesn't contain it, at least in the grocery stores. Health food stores are a little better. I even tried a shampoo where that was pretty far down on the ingredient list, and I had problems with that also. Just an FYI .... off-topic though it is!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 In restaurants, Chinese can work ok, but ask about the corn starch. A lot of times they use corn starch to thicken their sauces. Hmmm, until this very moment I never thought of wheat in the " soy " sauce. Eating out is a challenge. Maybe a plain old American restaurant where you could order fish and veggies would be best. I'm struggling with this too. I'm not required to go out to eat as in the omnipresent business lunch, but I get sick of my own cooking. Sick of shopping, cooking, cleaning up and tired of whatever's in the fridge...by the end of the week. I want to go out to eat but .....

Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Thanks, Swoosie. I forgot about Japanese restaurants (I who was macrobiotic for years!) Here in Berkeley, CA we even have a Japanese restaurant or two which will give you rice and steamed vegetable with ginger pickle and soy sauce (wheat or not? do they know if it has wheat, or not?) I was disappointed by a Japanese snack counter which I thought would provide lots of rice flour snacks (in a moment of desperation last eavening...long commute home) Almost every item had wheat in it!!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Swoosie....hair loss can be due to thyroid problems. Maybe have that thyroid checked or check it yourself some by taking your temperature. Some say you need to take the temp under your arm as soon as you wake up in the AM and before you get out of bed. If it is around 97 for a week, your thyroid is not up to speed (hypothyroid).

Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Here in oddball Berkeley California, and its unique neighbor, Oakland, there actually are some stores that carry whole meals of healthy food that you can buy and take home. Often they are of the macrobiotic persuasion which probably is grand for A's and B's. We do have a fast food stand at the Universtiy fo California, Berkeley which serves all organic vegetable foods and you can get the fillings without the wheat bread rapper. There's hope....

Guest guest Posted October 9, 1999 Report Share Posted October 9, 1999 Hello... This is Swoosie. I was checked out by my doctor two weeks ago on that possibility for a thyroid problem. She asked me many questions such as weight loss or gain...(which I don't have), cold hands and feet along with " cold sweat " and it can occur while you are sleeping....(I don't have that), constipation, lethargy (I don't have that either bec I have this boundless energy which I don't know where it is coming from!), skin changes...none, and last of all, coarse hair which I don't have either. So..she put me on Stress B complex along with vitamins D, C, and maganesium. I have been taking them for three weeks now and my hair is considerably soft and it is not falling out anymore...however, the front is thinning. My doctor thinks I am under a lot of stress because I have two children to worry about and just started this diet as well. She said that once you change your way of eating, it can cause hair loss temporarily and a lot of changes in your body as well. My periods have been stable for years and no changes. (knock on wood). It can be other things that cause hair loss. Unfortunately, I just learned from my mother the other night that it runs in the family. She said that when she was my age...34 to 35.....her hair thinned out and she changed her ways of eating and etc. So..it seems when we hit our thirties, our bodies change dramatically. It is a " wake up " call to start taking care of ourselves. One thing I have trouble with is excercising. I don't really like to to it anymore because whenever I get into an excercise regimen, I tend to become compulsive. I would keep going and going without stopping and it nearly destroyed me mentally. I am afraid to get back into that and start all over again. I walk a lot. Since I have two boys, I run around alot chasing after them outside....which is good for me. I must emphasize this.....coffee, aspirins, tylenol, msg, and other drugs can deplete your vitamin B complex plus other nutrients and can contribute to hair loss as well. (My mother in law's herbalist told me) So...it must be the way I eat and it needs to be changed. Wheat is something to look out for. I remember when I first read the ERYT-O list and reasons, wheat was considered an allergen possibility in most of us. I was shocked and did not believe it. However, I did cut down on wheat and my sinuses had cleared up. All summer I did not have an allergy reaction like I had most of my summers. Amazing! It is hard to eliminate wheat from your diet entirely because most things are made with wheat...and it is FRUSTRATING AND INFURIATING. It would be nice if there was a company that makes food for our blood type and we can order it via internet. That is just a silly dream! But...think about it. :-) It would solve our dilemma, eh? I hope to hear from you again!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 That is not such a bad idea to have food ordered for our blood type, or to have a helath food store place all the " O " friendly things together in one aisle. Maybe with some financial backing one of use " O's " can do such a thing. It would sure make life a whole lot easier aye?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 The friend of mine who gave me the ER4YT book said the biggest problem she has with the diet is social. Hard to find something to eat if you go out to a restaurant with friends...have to turn down the birthday cake at the office celebration...have to say no to that freshly baked bread your friend just made, forgetting you couldn't eat wheat... She decided the only solution was to get all her friends turned on to this diet. Worked with me. She's an A and I'm an O. So we could do a similar thing with our local stores. It would especially work of course if you got all your friends who were recent enthusasts to hit up the same store. aikya Re: Help, New to er4yt > > > ** Original Sender: Eso@... > > > ** Original Date: Fri, 8 Oct 1999 18:00:43 EDT > > > > > ** Original Message follows... > > > > > > > > From: Eso@... > > > > > > In a message dated 10/08/1999 12:05:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time, > > > maria1030@... writes: > > > > > > << I sometimes like to eat out a lot, any type o's out there have any > ideas > > > what to get out?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Yes you are right. Maybe we should really start promoting this diet aye? Most people I talk with though, just shrug their shoulders and say yeah, yeah, whatever. Well we shall see who catches the flu this year and who doesn't aye? Anyways the two people that introduced the diet to me are no longer on it due to the hassle of finding foods they were able to eat. I just make my own bread from spelt flour and avoid anything from the store other than meats and stables we can eat.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Sorry, but it means ...right? I have picked that up somewhere along my travels. My husband is always razzing me about it. I guess it is just an affirmative of what I have already said...not really sure why I use it, but have for years.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 When I tell people in my life that I am trying this diet and it seems to really be helping me, I get a variety of responses but no one, so far, is interested in it for themselves. I work (get this!?) in a major medical research facility. When I told my boss I thought I had passed a gallstone she was sympathetic. When I decided to go to a Chinese herbalist, she was supportive. When it didn't work out (remedies for another blookd type?), she wasn't disappointed. When I told her I was trying the blood type diet, this was just a little farther than she could go. She's a former emergency room nurse so, after a wild flutter flashed across her face, she pulled herself together and said something noncommital, but it was the flutter of distress, of mockery, of disbelief. Oh well. She doesn't do my cooking. I doubt people will stick with this diet long unless they were pretty uncomfortable beforehand and unless they see some marked changes pretty quickly. It is inconvenient, isolating, and expensive. And, it works.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 1999 Report Share Posted October 10, 1999 Canadian, Kirk. Canadians end many declarative sentences with, " eh? " I always thought it was spelled " eh. " But then, I am not Canadian.
