I'm familiar with dieting for your blood-type. Its quite silly. Granted, alot of nutritionist do not advocate ketosis diets either, however evidence that has been presented in the last few years is causing many to take a second look at them. I'm a nutritional science major, and very much an advocate of low carb diets.
Velvette, by limiting fat intake on a very low carb diet... in layman's terms: you will reduce the amount of bodyfat lost, and will have less energy. Keep your fat intake at 60%+ when carbs are extremely low, for best results.

BBF, I'm not sure what I want to address first about that post. I'm really happy that you're getting your degree in nutrition, and I'm glad you're able to apply that to your own body. However, there is a progression to all this knowledge. First you get to nutrition class and you learn everything they teach you, which is everything in your book, which is everything that the government, AMA , ADA, etc...wants to allow into print (yes, your government {and its agencies} decides what you will know, especially at the undergrad level. If you want to know more you must go find it on your own time). Then you have your other courses that feed in to that, like phys, chem, etc... Then you get out of school, or go on in school, and find out that through reading scholarly journals published and researched OUTSIDE the US, that maybe what you're reading wasn't everything it was cracked up to be. You realize that Western Medicine is a business, and that the knowledge you were presented with, which you may know a lot about, is just a small piece in a very large puzzle. You talk to chiros, homeopaths, and find out that there's all kinds of research done on non-Western approaches, you just never hear about them in this country. So you study up on them. Then you find out that there are SO many pieces to the puzzle, none of them fitting together, and you can't keep up because every time you get one piece in place, two or three more pieces pop up. Then, just when you think you finally know it all, lo and behold, every damn individual is different! The pieces are all put together, but the big picture isn't right.
Fact is, women are different than men; women are different from other women; one woman's needs are different now than they will be later.
I would not recommend ketosis for a woman, unless it REALLY worked for her.
I wouldn't recommend a 60% fat diet to my worst enemy.
There are blood type issues that are far more applicable and well researched than the issues that were presented in "Eat Right for Your Type." He was on the right track, but for the wrong reasons. Take studies, and doctors, and people that think they know something and set them aside for a second. Look at anecdotal evidence: Everytime I run across another human being, like myself, that can eat a 60%+ protein diet and be SO hyper and full of vigor that they can barely sleep (and likewise crash at the sight of a carb) tend to be type O. There's a lot of research going on about this that has nothing to do with leptins and other things you read (or heard) about in the blood type diet books or related material in your class.
Learn all you can, from everywhere you can, and don't forget to question it along the way.

Spatts, I agree with alot of what you said, especially the part about being taught limited information in US colleges. I do think alot of non-Western aproaches are effective. However to say that ketosis is a bad idea for women has my attention. Please explain. I've met a fair number who do very well on keto diets. I have a friend for example, who is 35, and stays in suburb condition year round, using a keto diet. I'm not saying other diets do not work. However, you have found what works for you (just as I have), but most individuals, male or female, will not have the energy you do on a 60%+ protien diet.
You're right, most won't have the energy I do, and I've come to realize that it tends to be other O types that do. That's why when I post my diet I make a point of saying, "Here's what worked for me:"
"I would not recommend ketosis for a woman, unless it REALLY worked for her."
...that includes your friend.

spatts, sorry if I come across at little abrupt on the net by the way. LoL. My typing style always looks a bit like I'm being a smart ass when I reread what I type. I do have alot of respect for your training knowledge, and some things you have posted on the training forum have changed the way I train over the last year.
