Re: Diabetes book/losing weight/sample menu

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.

Thanks again,

Does anyone know - Is there a better inexpensive filter system I could

use then?

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.

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.

Gee don't you love when promoting toxins is a brag thing!!!

The local water is not fluoridated if that counts, but has nasty heavy

metal contamination.

Namaste,

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.

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.

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.
