Defeat is the stepping stone to victory.
RADAR you left me out bro! I'm AB!
It's cool though, I've got the book!! You may be aware I'm planning on testing the theory, I'm going to eat wrong for my type until the end of the month, then get blood tests, then follow the diet to the letter for a month or so and see if it makes any noticeable positive changes to cholesterol, lipid and liver values etc.
I'll be logging it here of you're interested. Ok not on LG's log! I'll start a new one obviously.

Type O people are the meat eaters of the human race. One reason for this was that Cro-Magnon man had little or no knowledge and access to fruits and vegetables. Over time, however, humans made their way out in search of food and migrated to Asia and Europe. Livestock and grain cultivation found its place in the food chain, and people could now let go of their nomadic ways and settle down in one place.
Food now took on very distinct identity in the form of carbohydrates. Genetic alteration took place so that the nutrients could be better absorbed and so, blood type A was born. The biological changes that took place then can be seen in the 21st century too.
Dietary habits for blood type A
Blood type A has low levels of hydrochloric acid and alkaline phosphatase but high levels of a digestive enzyme called intestinal disaccharide, which means animal protein is not easily digested, but carbohydrates are. This also indicates that type A best suits a vegetarian diet. Food eaten must be pure, organic, and as fresh as possible.
Meat eating type A’s should eliminate the more toxic foods from their diet. A good diet will ensure that your immune system gets plenty of charge to fight for itself. By nature, Type A people have sensitive immune systems,
Stress is very typical for blood type A. They have higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which makes them react to stressful situations. Symptoms that could occur due to stress are disturbed sleep patterns and brain fog during the day. To ensure the cortisol levels are under control, do the following:
Limit sugar, alcohol and caffeine intake
Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast
Eat smaller, more frequent meals

Health issues to be aware of
There are some issues that AB types should know about. Given below are some such issues that will help AB types lead a happy healthy life.
Lectins irritate the digestive tract and blood of AB types. Chicken is best avoided for this reason.
Dairy foods are okay, but mucus production increases if too much is consumed.
Nuts, seeds, legumes, and beans must be eaten in moderation.
Rice is better than pasta, as the inner kernel of wheat forms high levels of acid in the stomach muscles.
Grains are best offset by alkaline fruits that help balance the acid released by wheat.
A glass of warm water with the juice of half a lemon will help get rid of the mucus accumulated overnight.
Gall bladder issues cannot be ruled out, so it’s better to have nut butters rather than the nuts themselves.
Kidney and lima beans tend to slow down production of insulin in AB types.
When the diet comprises of corn, buckwheat, lima beans, and sesame seeds, the Type B insulin reaction sets in, which means hypoglycemia is but an obvious outcome. Metabolism is affected when blood sugar is low.
Type AB persons have weak stomach acid production. They are advised to take amino acid supplements for this purpose.
Carbonated drinks will also increase the stomach acid. Caffeinated drinks intake must be limited because there is a danger of over–stimulating the already high adrenaline production.
Tofu is a good protein supplement instead of meat, but too much will also increase mucous production.
Of course, in the end, it is an individuals’ own constitution that dictates what suits and what does not. Check with a dietician if you feel there are some allergy issues you need to sort out among the list of good foods.
Diet for the B type
Stressful situations result in higher levels of cortisol being released in the system. Excess cortisol makes people react to stress in a negative manner, which leads to further psychological imbalance.
There are some Lectins that are sensitive to B type blood. To ensure that neither of the two affect your overall health, it’s best to follow a diet that avoids food that has high levels of toxicity.
Type B people are also quite prone to infections of the sinus, urinary tract, E.Coli, and influenza. Most antigens have blood Type B-like characteristics, and since bacterial antigens don’t attack those that resemble their own, B group people are vulnerable to them.
Overall, people with blood type B type are known to be sturdy. They can usually resist most of the present day lifestyle diseases like cancer and heart troubles. If they follow the required diet and ensure a balanced lifestyle, most people with blood type B can live long healthy lives.
B blood type people can break down fats easily. They have high levels of the bone strengthening enzyme called intestinal alkaline phosphotase. However, they have insulin issues too, so foods with high glucose content should be eaten only in moderation. A lot of B type people are of African American descent, which means they may or may not be lactose intolerant too. In such cases, care has to taken when consuming dairy products.
Grapefruit and guava are good sources of beneficial lycopenes, while dried apricots are an excellent snack. Fish and seafood are good sources of protein, and kidney and navy beans are good because they do not have lectins like other beans and legumes.
Blood type B people can include variety of foods in their diets. In fact, the diet for blood type B is considered the most balanced and wholesome diet as compared to other groups. Given below are foods that they should avoid and foods that are good for them:
Foods to avoid
Tomatoes, wheat, corn, lentils, buckwheat, peanuts, sesame seeds
Shellfish, chicken
Beans and legumes, grains and starches, avocados
Persimmons, Pomegranates, Star fruit, and Prickly pear
Cinnamon, Pepper, Sesame oil, Sunflower oil and Corn oil
Foods that work well for B type people
Green vegetables
Deep sea fish
Low fat dairy, and eggs
Rice milk, rice bran, rice flour, millet, oats
Onions, artichokes, parsnip
Olive oil, flaxseed oil
Grapes, figs, and dates can be eaten in moderation
Goat meat, lamb, turkey, venison
Corn, buckwheat, sesame seeds, peanuts and lentils are known to cause weight gain and affect the metabolic rate of people with blood type B. They may also result in problems like hypoglycemia, fatigue, and water retention. Your blood sugar level may also go down after you eat a meal comprising one or more of these foods.
Nuts and seeds like peanuts and sesame seeds have lectins that might interfere with inusiln production in blood type B. Tomatoes are known to affect the stomach lining and therefore, should be eliminated from the diet. Wheat also should be avoided because it contains lectins that bring down insulin efficiency and hamper the fat burning process of the body.
Although a lean meat, chicken contains a lectin in its muscle tissue that causes agglutination in blood type B. This agglutinating lectin can cause immunity-related problems and even strokes in people with blood type B. Shesllfish also contains lectins that are disruptive for blood type and therefore, should be avoided.
On the good side, blood type B is most tolerant to and benefits from all types of dairy products. Deep ocean are good for them and green vegetables, deep sea fish, low fat dairy, and eggs promote weight loss. Also, replacing chicken with goat meat, lamb, turkey, and venison is more beneficial for blood type B.
The B blood type digestive system is tolerant, which means it can handle both animal and vegetable carbohydrates and proteins. Their immune system is strong is capable of resisting most chronic degenerative illnesses. The system works best when one does moderate exercises like swimming, tennis, hiking, and cycling. The blood type B people are lucky because they can eat a far more varied diet than their brethren in type A and type O.
Of course we want em! Everyone's interested in what you got to say!
