Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Quinoa is a complete protein suitable for type 'O' veggies. I was veggie but re-evaluated upon coming upon this diet and finding out about it and decided my health has to come first so I do the best I can to use good sources but do now have meat which I have actually had much less of a problem changing to than I expected - surprising really as I was never one for even liking meat. hth ) Be a Transformer, Not a Conformer, Observe the Masses, And then do the Opposite ! http://www.freewebs.com/inspire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I've worked with other vegetarian type o bloods who were successful in their diet. But it is very difficult. If you don't get the proper nutrients, you will feel ill and you will make yourself prone to cancer and other serious health issues. And the fact is, there are a few nutrients out there that can only be found outside of vegetarian sources. Please read " Diet For a New America " by Robbins. He is the son of the ice-cream guru who invented Baskin Robbins. After learning about the meat industry he gave away his father's business, which he had inherited, and became a vegetarian. He has one of the best referenced books I've ever read. It explains exactly how to be a healthy vegetarian, where to get all your nutrients from, and - if you ever did decide to eat meat - where to purchase organic meat. And don't stress. I think you'll be fine. Just make sure to do your research and know what you're doing. Kathy R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 >>tell me what shall I do????isnt anyone willing to help me build a vegetarian diet that will be healthy???? I hope my previous post didn't seem harsh - I've only just got your full original post thru now! It seems to me that you may just need to look at the lists of acceptable foods for 'o's and just do your best. Maybe it is possible to ask Dr. D'adamo himself for his view ? There is plenty still which you can have, the problem seems to be the quality of the protein to hand - as a veggie you will be a dab hand at ensuring you mix and end up with complete protein over the course of the day. It may be this will be a mental and physical change which will need to be a step at a time for you and will just take as long as it takes; you've waxed strong in specific beliefs and feelings and you can't go against them overnight.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Hello Tara, I'm curious, what blood type is your husband? Is he healthy on his lacto-vegetarian diet? I'm sorry you are in so much pain. When I first read about the BTD, I didn't know my blood type, so I (erroneously) assumed I was an A, as I liked being a vegetarian. I had a long, gradual transistion to eating red meat again; though I was never very strict as a vegetarian, eating fish and poultry occassionaly. Have you tried a meat, poultry or fish broth? I imagine that would be easier than pieces of meat. As others have said, there are some that eat a veggie O diet.... do what feels best for you Good luck, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I don't agree with the low protein discussion, but here is an interpetation of the Type O diet for vegetarians from the web: http://www.veg-soc.org/html/articles/blood-type-nutrition.html by Manton In his new book, The Eat Right Diet, Dr D'adamo introduces the concept of dietary lectins - and their potential to influence the capacity of all bodily organ systems to function effectively. I have been using the principles espoused in his book in my practice since late 1997 with great success and have reduced the need for food sensitivity testing in people suffering from allergic complaints. There have been some instances where I have seen health problems such as arthritis, diabetes and skin disorders resolved by dietary therapy alone using D'adamo's nutritional concepts. However, one pressing concern for people on vegetarian diets is his recommendation for those with `O' and `B' blood types to consume more animal protein while reducing intake of unsuitable grains and plant proteins. I would certainly agree that his nutritional programming appears to be encouraging these blood types, the `O' blood type in particular, to consume foods considered to be highly unethical by serious vegetarians. With this in mind, in July 1999 I ventured to the Gold Coast and the International Congress on Natural Medicine where Dr D'adamo was to speak. After much discussion with him, it emerged that he is a true humanitarian, and while he indicated that `O' and `B' types do benefit from animal proteins, he made it quite clear that vegetarians from these blood groups can achieve good health without consuming flesh and animal derived proteins. I am convinced his program will gain wide acceptance in the Australian naturopathic community. My charter is to see D'adamo's work and theories interpreted correctly. In this article I would like to illustrate how `O' and `B' blood type individuals can implement the basic tenets of the blood type diet while maintaining their vegetarian way of eating. The Lectin-Blood Type Connection D'adamo's theories are based on a chemical reaction taking place between your blood and the foods you eat. Due to the so-named lectins contained within foods, your immune and digestive systems still maintain favouritism for foods that your blood-type ancestors ate. Lectins are an abundant and diverse range of proteins found in foods - predominantly seeds and particularly those of legumes - that seek out and bind to carbohydrates in red blood cells. Your blood-type antigen is one of 4 different carbohydrate structures that stick out and label every one of your red cells as either `O','A','B `or `AB' blood type. (An antigen is a foreign substance which stimulates an immune response.) Certain lectins that are incompatible with specific blood-type carbohydrate antigens will attach themselves to that antigen, leading to blood cell clumping or agglutination. Once cells are agglutinated, they become targeted for destruction by the immune system as if they were some type of foreign invader. Your blood-type antigen is found not only on your red blood cells, it is also extensively expressed in digestive mucus, gastric-acid secretions, pancreatic juices and bile. So if you eat food lectins that are offending for your blood type, in addition to agglutinating your red cells, they also have the potential to cause bodily cells in the digestive tract to clump together and lead to an immune system response. For example, when blood type `A' people drink cow's milk, the milk lectin can interact directly with cells along the digestive tract lining, resulting in localized inflammation with symptoms such as bloating, flatulence, gut cramping and discomfort. For a person with digestive system problems, looking at red blood cells via live blood analysis is an excellent tool by which we can determine what is happening to similar cells in the digestive system. In the past, practitioners using live blood microscopy, like myself, have related the picture in photo B to having excess protein in the diet, or to the patient being incapable of effectively assimilating protein. However, it seems that eating harmful lectins in foods is also a major determinant of cellular agglutination which will occur throughout the whole body. Because red blood cells bring oxygen to every cell in the body, this is very undesirable and you will become more fatigued. Agglutination is also reflective of an increase in organic acid level within the body, which accelerates the rate at which you age and increases the risk of developing infectious illness, cancer and heart disease. The Protein Equation Your day-to-day energy levels and endurance are partly determined by how well you assimilate protein. This assimilation can be impaired by many factors such as the consumption of those dietary lectins that cause localized inflammation in the villi of the digestive tract lining. The inflammation prevents the uptake of amino acids and other nutrients, often bringing on symptoms like bloating, fatigue and/or sugar cravings after the meal. So What's the Answer? We don't want to make the mistake of over-eating protein in order to compensate for any inadequacies in assimilating these amino acids. The adult body needs about 40 grams of pure protein daily to maintain metabolic equilibrium, which amounts to 0.5 - 0.7 grams protein for every kilogram of ideal body weight. This amounts to approximately 30 - 50 grams of protein a day which should be delivered over a minimum of 3 daily serves. The challenge is to optimize the utilization of these dietary proteins. Plant proteins are more likely to be digested into their constituent amino acids and then absorbed into the bloodstream. These amino acids are easier for bodily cells to utilize in cell construction. Vegetarian proteins will also improve cellular respiration within mitochondria. In the context of blood typing, we need to eat beneficial or neutral vegetarian proteins in combination with grains and vegetables that don't contain lectins that impair digestive system function and amino- acid uptake. By consuming only beneficial lectins, we also encourage the growth of friendly gut bacteria which further improves the uptake of amino acids from the plant proteins. The lacto/ovo `O' and `B' blood-type individuals can also add milk and egg proteins to the range from which amino acids can be derived. D'adamo assured me that O- and B- type vegetarians can have optimal health if they choose their plant proteins and meal combinations wisely. The `O' Blood-type Vegetarian Program I have put many vegetarian menus together for this blood type. Remember that the neutral proteins are well utilized as long as the intestinal environment is healthy and the digestive organs, including the stomach, liver, gall bladder and pancreas, are all working well or being supported therapeutically. `O'-type Program Overview The main point to remember is to avoid combining your beneficial/neutral vegetarian proteins with offending lectins in grains, vegetables and fruits. Make up your daily protein allowance from any of the neutral or beneficial vegetarian proteins listed in the above table. Cereal Grains - Wheat and corn (maize) contain lectins such as gluten and others that react with the blood and digestive tract cells, and interfere with proper assimilation of amino acids, minerals and other nutrients - as explained earlier. While wheat is by far the worse offender, by avoiding lectins from both grains you can maximize the assimilation of the nutrients in your protein foods. `O' blood types should focus on reducing the total intake of grains and selecting more often from rice, oats, millet, rye and barley. `O' types are better to get starch from vegetables such as parsnip, peas and sweet potato and to increase the intake of other vegetables and fruits. It is important to substitute fruit for that piece of bread between meals. Vegetables - The nightshade vegetables, in particular eggplant, potatoes, capsicum and chilli, cause arthritic conditions in type `O's, because their lectins deposit in the tissues surrounding the joints. Sweet-corn lectins affect the production of insulin, and, like the lectin in wheat, can lead to obesity and mature-onset diabetes. The assimilation of proteins will be enhanced by avoiding combinations with potato and corn in the same meal. Alfalfa sprouts contain components that, by irritating the digestive tract, can aggravate type `O' hypersensitivity problems. The moulds in cultivated mushrooms and fermented olives also tend to trigger allergic reactions. Fruits - Rockmelons and honeydew melons contain very high mould counts so should be avoided. Oranges, tangerines and strawberries should be avoided due to the high acidic reaction they induce in the digestive tract. The type `O' digestive tract already has high acidity and needs the balance of the alkaline fruits to reduce the possibility of ulceration and irritation to the stomach and duodenal lining. Blackberries, contain a lectin that aggravates type `O' digestion so is also better avoided. End of info from the web. Dr. D'Adamo recommends the supplements coleus forskoli and l- carnitine for vegetarians. I would probably try conjugated lineolic acid as well, since that's one of the main things provided by beef. A vegetarian diet is possible, though probably never ideal. Many vegetarians do ultimately find that to maintain health especially with older age they must add some animal protein.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I know everyone wants the best for you but I believe that as you age you will eventually have to look to meat for health recovery and survival. Some of the ailments I see in friends who were vegetarians when they were younger are frightening and nearly all of them are way overweight. The doctors just give them medications and more medications because of the affect of the first medications. Sad. When I was a young adult, the big push was eating handfuls and handfuls of vitamins, bottle feeding babies, restricting calcium, and not eating meat. If you can't eat meat or fish, I would drink beef and chicken broth. Good luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, before anyone get their socks in a twist, I'm not ranting just stating some facts. Why substitute for red meat? Most fish and poultry are neutral. Red meat is beneficial. If anything, a vegetarian trying to break into eating meat should drink beef broth and eat small portions of red meat to feel the maximum affect of the diet. I don't understand the mentality of eating only " fish or chicken " like it is less of a sin to kill several chickens and fish instead of one cow. Of course, I'm confused about any religion that decides which living creature to harvest over any other. Where do you draw the line? You have to kill to live. Just because a bundle of spinach or a cock roach can't moo doesn't mean that it doesn't feel the pain of death when it's killed (my buddhist and Hindu friends love to scream at me--pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth). I would think that the O body would adjust to red meat much faster than chicken. The wive's tale of eating low fat and vegetable oils and avoiding red meat is alive and well but it doesn't work for type Os. I have a bus full of overweight, sick friends and relatives who stick to the low fat AMA diet and get sicker while the doctors are wringing their hands all the way to the bank. You can dance around this all you want to but as you grow older you'll be more susceptible to reflux, IBS, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, etc. as your immune system slowly gives up the fight. By then people will probably be laughing about " the old low fat days " like we do about the wacky ideas people had when we were young.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 There's growing evidence that the vegetable crops we grow are worse for the environment than the land used for cattle to graze. Our main crops, wheat, soy, and corn, are heavily pesticided. But even if they were all organic, the land is disrupted and takes more away from wild animals than grazing land does.... A good book that explains this better than me is " Against the Grain " by Manning I just read " Neanderthin " by Ray Audette, and he claims that the person wearing a cotton coat has killed more animals than the person wearing a fur coat; cotton being heavily pesticided. The killing of animals is more indirect with vegetable crops of course, but isn't the overall picture more important? I also think an issue here is our attitude toward death. Can you accept death as a natural part of the life cycle. I know it's hard, you think I'm not afraid of death? And why is it OK for an endangered species like the snow leopard to eat meat and not us humans? Or why is it OK for you pet cat to eat meat and not us? Well, Tara, I don't know if all these messages are helping you with your confusion. This is not a vegetarian list; so you can't expect enthusiasm. There was one other type O person here sympathetic to vegetarianism, I forget her name; why don't the 2 of you start a type O veggie group if you really want to. If after a while the vegetarianism isn't working you can think about trying meat again. Me, I'm glad I'm eating meat again.

(2)It does explain in good detail how to find organic meat sources. I've never seen a book that proposes vegetarianism do that before. But, yes, if you're not planning on becoming a vegetarian DON'T READ IT. It'll scar you for life. I swear. There are still a few types of meat I cannot eat to this day, kosher being at the top.
