Eating by blood type.

So i'm on Day 4 of my detox.
The last 2 nights i have been dreaming of eating. !!
I also have to say that the best days ive had of training so far were that last 2 days. i could really feel a difference in my body & my movement. realize the foods im eating are weighing me down, sluggish. these last 2 days iv felt a lightness in my motions that was quite enjoyable. Im not sleepy, i'm not hungry, not tired...
i just W A N T to eat. everything. anything. then...nothing.

so i got to thinking today about eating by blood type. im Opos. this is what ive read about O eaters:
The Type O Profile

Type O was the first blood type, the type O ancestral prototype was a canny, aggressive predator. Aspects of the Type O profile remain essential in every society even to this day – leadership, extroversion, energy and focus are among their best traits. Type O’s can be powerful and productive, however, when stressed Type O’s response can be one of anger, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. When Type O wiring gets crossed, as a result of a poor diet, lack of exercise, unhealthy behaviors or elevated stress levels, Type O’s are more vulnerable to negative metabolic effects, including insulin resistance, sluggish thyroid activity, and weight gain. When you customize your life to Type O’s strengths you can reap the benefits of your ancestry. Your genetic inheritance offers you the opportunity to be strong, lean, productive, long-lived and optimistic.

Reported to be the most basic and oldest blood type of early man (the "hunter"), Type O's tend to be strong-willed survivors with sturdy immune systems. It is generally recommended that the Type O diet contain plenty of animal products supplemented with vegetables and fruits to avoid over-acidification (which could result in stomach ulcers).

Fruits/Veggies:
Though fruits and vegetables are highly nutritious and full of fiber, there are several fruits and vegetables that can cause problems for Type O's. Most fruits are neutral, but figs, plums and prunes are highly beneficial. Artichokes, okra, garlic and red onions, yams, turnips, pumpkin, chard, red peppers, and leafy green vegetables like kale, collard greens, broccoli, romaine and spinach are also recommended.

THIS WAS QUITE INTERESTING TO READ the things i should stay away from:
Vegetables and fruits which Type O's should avoid include avocado, olives, potatoes, mushrooms, corn, eggplant, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts and mustard greens. Type O's should also avoid honeydew, strawberries, cantaloupe, oranges, tangerines and blackberries, orange juice and apple juice.
Foods to Avoid
Type O's should avoid goose, pork and all pork products such as ham, ribs, bacon, and sausages. Dairy products (eggs, cheese, yogurt and milk) are considered to be a poor protein source for Type O's. Dairy and eggs are not advised at all for Type O's of African descent, and only in small amounts for Caucasian or Asian Type O's. Whole wheat products should be eliminated from the diet, as they react negatively with your blood and cause sluggishness and weight gain. Also avoid black or white pepper, vinegars, corn syrup, coffee, soda, all distilled liquor and black tea.

I'm actually allergic to avocado, hate onions, not fond of eggplant, cabbage, brussel sprouts...also never eat honeydew, cantaloupe (allergic), dont really care for berries. (only recently acquired the taste for strawberry--after persistence at it), i hate pork & all pork products, hate milk, and only recently able to eat yogurt. interesting about the wheat products.

but i will say that i LOVE VINEGARS, cheese, potatoes, mushrooms, and apple j. but for the most part the list of DONTs is actually already pretty consistent with things i dont care for anyway.

they also say about exercise:
Exercise is of vital importance to your health due to the effects stress has on your body. To lose weight, Type O's must engage in vigorous physical exercise 30 to 60 minutes three to four times per week. According to Peter D'Adamo, failure to eliminate stress via exercise could result in depression and insomnia, asthma, arthritis, and obesity.

which is soo TRUE...my body HOLDS ONTO BULK! iv always had to do vigorous crazy exercise to get results in my body.

hmmm...pretty insiteful.

peace be, i am that o-eating g.
