Blood type diet test log (AB)

[Colstreamer]

Moya has brought up an interesting point here, I do get a lot of my protein from shakes.

Shake 1 whey protein isolate mixed with water, contains 43g protein 0g fat and 0g carbs I usually have this one after training, just before lunch.

Shake 2 whey protein isolate plus a mixture of whey, caesin and egg protein mixed with 300ml milk, contains 111g protein 8g fat and 17g carbs, this one I have before bed.

Yes I have considered soy, I plan on introducing it once I've found out my secretor status. I actually started mixing my shakes with soy milk when I first tried this diet. Apparently soy contains Estrogen but also has an enzyme which blocks Estrogen production in the body.

Yeah I had 3 shakes yesterday I usually only have 2 per day, 1 after training and 1 before bed. I did try getting more fish down the hatch yesterday. Yesterday morning I woke up with a growling stomach and had to put something in it. A shake was the quickest easiest choice, I don't get much time in the mornings.

Thanks RADAR, I've read your post many times

The only reason I planned on introducing soy was in the interests of this experiment. Do you really feel its that bad?

Also do you think my bed time shake is a bit too big? 111g protein is a lot in one go.

Soy has estrogenic properties so some may not be suggesting using any, but if you have a good percentage of body fat i wouldn't recommend any soy products for you.

I would need to see a pic of nutrients before i can comment!

Bro check post #21 I put screen shots of the cal breakdown for each shake. Or do you need the ingredients from the label?

My current bodyfat percentage is 12.7% just had it checked with calipers. Literally 10 mins ago! Lol.

like i said, im no fan of it either...
but according to his blood type diet it would be the best fit...

very interesting about the enzyme that would block it... might be on to somthing...

Several studies have that Soy does indeed increase estrogen in males. Just FYI...good work in here bro. Thanks for taking the effort and time to put this up.

I really appreciate the input guys, and of course the concern for my health!!

If I am indeed a secretor (AB antigen secretor) then apparently soy is good for me according to my blood type. The studies into it were done without blood type in mind and there's something like a 5% chance any of the test subjects were AB as mine is the rarest blood type, this is why Bader's friend is interested in me doing this log as he's making a documentary on this very subject and he wants to use my findings in his documentary.

I will only introduce soy if I am a secretor, otherwise I'll leave it cos I absolutely hate the stuff, and as I'm eating fish which I've never liked, I really don't want to add another flavour I can't abide.

If the soy DOES raise my oestrogen levels this will be confirmed by the blood tests I have at the end of the experiment. I initially cut out the soy milk I'd started making my shakes with because I respected the opinions given when I first mentioned it, and while I still do respect you guys and will always value your opinions, I feel in order to be as accurate as possible and do the best job I can in this endeavour I should use as
many of the foods recommended for me as possible.

Oh, anyone think my bedtime shake is a bit OTT?

I got a whey isolate powder and one made with whey, caesin and egg protein. I use a scoop of each with 300ml (just over 1/2 pint) for my bedtime shake.

Here's a macro breakdown

Well said bro. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
