Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Type O or not, eating meat daily is not good for your heart, especially if you have genetic high cholesterol. You can eat fish instead (tuna, salmon, white fish ...), and of course beans will sure fill you up. If you do eat meat regularly, eating lots of fresh greens in the same meal can help keep the cholesterol from sticking to artery walls.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I'm afraid your info comes from books not from experience. I've seen too many O's have their health improve with doing meat. As for fresh greens that is a given for everybody if you want optimal health.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I have been following ER4YT " O " since about 2002. I was previously a vegetarian for 25 years... Personally, I find red meat is necessary for me healthwise...buffalo, lamb, grass fed beef, etc. Fish, veggies and beans did not " do it " for me. My cholesterol levels have been about the same for +20 years, but now my HDL is HIGHER (a good thing). I am healthier at 60 than I was at 35 or 40, so for my own body ER4YT rocks... I am about 80% compliant. For those out there eating lots of fish: be cautious about it ... I live in FL...our Gulf waters are so polluted by BP's oil that my fishmonger will not eat fish any longer! That pollution will travel all over the globe in addition to the highly toxic chemical dispersants BP was asked to stop using...they continue to spray these toxins all over the Gulf and into the air as well. I fear we will all suffer these consequences for years to come. I ate tilapia Tuiesday before learning it was farm raised in China...I was violently ill for 18 hours...I believe it may have been raised in polluted waters OR frozen/defrosted frequently in transit. YUCK! Beware fish, sadly enough... Just my 2 cents... Merrill > > > > > > > Type O or not, eating meat daily is not good for your heart, especially > > if you have genetic high cholesterol.

So is it mainly history and processed food related then? I'd only buy it if it had definite benefit for my own food planning. (I do not use processed food) Namaste, Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't use processed food either. He is talking more about the history of the way food has changed over the years (processed food is part of that but he doesnt talk about it throughout the book). I find the book fascinating yet not surprising. He has an interesting philosophy about eating. Here's a link. I don't know if it will have anything new to help you plan your food but I do enjoy his philosophy: http://michaelpollan.com/books/in-defense-of-food/ " *Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. " * He talks about how we have been negatively affected by the nutrition science of breaking down foods into carbs, fats etc and that we lost site of how foods work in a more gestalt fashion. He mentions how fat was demonized and then we started eating all of this low fat garbage stuffed with higher carbs and more processed junk. He talks about how modern society managed to screw themselves up by listening to all of these so called experts. I love hearing all different views.
