Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kristin251" data-source="post: 1204692" data-attributes="member: 240838">Hi [USER=213188]@Bluemarine Josephine[/USER] , I have followed the blood type diet for about 7 years. Some times more strictly than others but when I first started I saw great health improvements. I am BT O and should follow a more meat eating ketogenic diet ( happens to be a perfect fit for me) as opposed to BT A who should take a more vegetarian approach. I am on the BT forum as well through the whole 7 years. For my BT dairy and grains are the worst. Already knew that. Kicked them all to the curb 7 years ago and my health and digestive system thanks me for it. As far as following it religiously, I don't anymore but I gravitate and do follow it around 90% simply out of instinct and removing the worst foods for my BT and replacing them with the best foods. Fortunately all the proteins and veggies that I like are great for me. IF I ate the diet as written I surely would be diabetic if I wasn't already. Way too heavy in carbs. I follow a VLC ketogenic version of it still. There are some discrepancies as he says BT O should be in ketosis but allows all kinds of fruit, juices, beans etc. I have found lots of foods is am to avoid don't agree with me or my digestive system so there is some validity there. All the avoid proteins don't agree with me but all my beneficial ones are perfect. Luckily the avoids are like rabbit, clams, eel etc. yuk. In summery, I do believe in the basic premise and has improved my health emensly. Mostly due to giving up all grains and dairy, the worst for my BT. However I do eat avocado every day all day and it is said to be avoided. I'm here to tell you he's wrong there, it is my best fuel and bs food. If I made a recommendation it would be to look at the worst foods for your BT and the best and start there. Then just eat whole unprocessed real foods. That should take you a very long way. If you have any questions I would be happy to help Mind sharing your BT?</blockquote>
