Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 Funny you talk about us all being different Lyn, I just read a book called " The Metabolic Typing Diet " very interesting. It follows on from D'Adamo's work and categorises us according to metabolic type. There are nine fundamental homeostatic controls that your type is determined from. They also have a web site www.healthexcel.com I suggest everyone should take a look at this, I can't fault the logic. Many years of research have gone into the theory behind metabolic typing. The book is very good, gives food lists etc and has a section to determine your metabolic typing from. Regards . No body is the same Subtitle: All O's are different! Seeing an intuitive nutritionist was an eye-opening experience, let me tell you. The woman I met with today, Eileen Poole, is GOOD. People drive for miles to see her (I drove 2 1/2 hours.) Not only was she able to pinpoint the foods that are aggravating me, but she tuned in to my personality in the first 10 minutes. Amazing! She's in her 60's or 70's, British, bright red hair, and has the most delightful personality. She has helped hundreds of people over the years, which is why she gets so many referrals. She held onto my arm and said, " You cannot eat red meat. It's important that you have white chicken, white turkey and fish. As much as you want. And your body does very well with eggs. You can have one every day if you want. " (I've been telling you guys I can't eat red meat! She said I'm suffering from what she calls " starch poisoning " (and this is what's making my hair fall out.) That, and my body is swimming in salt. And, I'm slightly malnutritioned. AND, my body produces an over-abundance of acid. (Tons of it.) No wonder I don't feel good. Sheesh. Eileen liked the idea of the Type O diet...she felt it was a good foundation. But, as we've talked about here on the list, all Type O bodies are not the same. So, in case anyone's interested, this is the " get well " eating program I've been placed on: Allowed vegetables: Asparagus Bok Choy Broccoli Cabbage (not red) Green Beans Parsley Summer/Yellow/Zucchini Squash Swiss Chard Allowed fats (use sparingly): Olive oil Butter Allowed Proteins: Chicken - white meat Eggs (scrambled, soft boiled, poached only) Fish Turkey - white meat Allowed Milk Products: Oat Milk Allowed Fruits: Apple - cooked Lemon Papaya Pear - cooked Allowed Grains: Millet Oatbran Oatmeal Rye (cream of rye) (She said that even though it's not on the Type O plan, cinnamon is good for me and I should put it on my hot cereal. Yippee! Omit: Salt, sugar, caffeine, honey, pork, preservatives. Consume daily: Bieler soup (green beans, zucchini, parsley) to cleanse the liver. Once I start to feel better, she'll begin putting foods back in my diet. But, it looks like I'm going to be eating very basic for a while. I've felt so lousy for so long, I imagine it's going to take a while for my liver to become uncongested and my digestive system to stop producing so much acid and all the salt and starch to flush out. By the way, Eileen said she thought I'd like Baby Bok Choy. How is this vegetable prepared? I guess the moral of this story is...our bodies are different. If you are able to see a nutritionist, I recommend it highly. Lynn P.S. She said to stay away from all soy products - they cause the digestive system to create acid.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 >Someone mentioned: Baby Bok Choy.* * * * * * * I thought that this was a >cabbage. I think it's one of the cabbage family. My nutritionist is overriding the Type O diet on some things (cabbage, no red meat, apple juice, oatmeal, to name a few) due to my medical condition. However, no dairy, no wheat, no vinegar, etc., so I'm not straying far from ER4YT. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 HI Steve, I know what this looks like over here in Hawaii because of all of the Asian people, but cabbage is an avoid, correct??? Because if we " O's " can eat it, I would LOVE to because I miss eating cabbage. aloha CB Cheryl Baker wrote: > > Someone mentioned: Baby Bok Choy.* * * * * * * I thought that this was a > cabbage. > aloha > CB > Bok Choy (Chinese Chard Cabbage) A head of bok choy is about the size of a head of celery.

Once you have one of the books, you can get updated food lists from the Web site. Bok Choy is a neutral, cabbage is an avoid. Both books can be ordered online, if you don't have access to them in Hawaiian book stores. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Thankx for the info Lynn. and, yes I have both books, but I guess I linked any type of cabbage with avoid. I will have to look this one up again. aloha CB >I know what this looks like over here in Hawaii because of all of the Asian >people, but cabbage is an avoid, correct???
