Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi, I am new to the blood type diet. I bought the ER4YT book and started the diet about five weeks ago. I just read this interesting post by and I was wondering if a lot of people find that it takes a while to begin losing a significant amount of weight. It makes perfect sense to me that it could take more time to begin losing very much if a person's system was way out of whack, but I was wondering if you long-time veterans of the diet have noticed on average how long it seems to take most people to start losing a significant amount and to start seeing some real changes in health over-all. None of my friends have ever tried this diet, so I have had no one to share experiences with. Thank you in advance for your replies. I have never posted to a group before, and I hope that I do this correctly.

I used a PUR filter in Texas that worked really well. Here at home I have a water conditioner plus use a filtered pitcher from Walmart. The pitchers are about $15.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi, Irene! Welcome to the List! You might be interested in my thyroid story. I lived in Tacoma, WA, for 5.5 years. When I moved there, I had a history of underactive thyroid. When I left, I could not stand to take kelp, whereas before I craved it. Fourteen years later, my doctor just tested my thyroid levels, and I am fine. I think it was breathing in all that iodiny salt air. I lived the entire time within about a mile of the ferry docks, and often heard the fog horns in the morning. Maybe you could consider moving to the wet side of the mountains.

Does anyone know - Is there a better inexpensive filter system I could use then? The local water is not fluoridated if that counts, but has nasty heavy metal contamination.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Welcome , I can't answer your question about weight loss after starting the type O diet, because I didn't have a weight problem when I started the blood type diet. I never have had a weight problem other then I would like to gain a bit more muscle. However, I can tell you that I started noticing health benefits quickly, maybe in days definitely within weeks. I suspect everyone responds differently depending on their status when they start and how they start. You should be aware that the ER4YT book was the first book and that the status of a few of the foods have changed since it was published based on newer research. You can check the status of any food on Dr. D'Adamo's website or buy one of the later books, LR4YT, Encyclopedia, or the O Lists book. My only suggestion about posting is to try to delete any part of the message you are replying to that isn't needed to keep it shorter.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 You'll also want to consider the tyrosine connection... it's two biggest sources are wheat and beef, so when you give up wheat, be sure to concentrate on beef, and I'm sure spelt and kamut have some in them, but you may want to supplement some tyrosine as it is a building block for dopamine (and a big reason Os crave wheat). Check out the Catechol on dadamo.com store and what is written on it. Re: Diabetes book/losing weight/sample menu Hi, I am new to the blood type diet.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Glutamine is the suggested amino acid to take to help reduce carb cravings. Try 500mg, but you can probably take upwards of 20 grams or more if you wanted to. I take 5 grams at a time but not for carb cravings. I recommend that you don't take tyrosine in the evening because it may tend to perk you up too much. It is better for you first thing in the morning to get you going. It is a building block of thyroid hormones and adrenaline.
