Has anyone read "Eating for Your Blood Type"? Interesting in knowing if there are many with Blood Type A in this group? Especially since people with this particular blood type are typified as having more stomach distress/syndromes/illnesses.... According to all the books I've read regarding this, Blood Type A is the newest of all blood types - the "agrarian - farmer", typically European descent, while Type "O" is the oldest..."hunter and meat eater".... Just interested in the comparison...
Needless to say, I am Type A.

Cool!! LOTS of Type A's. Actually, I'm a Type 0, BUT...I know that book like the back of my hand!!!!! I first read it about 5 years ago. It's WONDERFUL!
Says Type A's do best on a vegetarian diet. Soy is the best protein and milk for ya'll. Eat LOTS of veggies and fruits and NO red meat or dairy!! No wheat/gluten either.
My husband is a Type A, so I have read all about it!

I'm o neg as is my husband and all our kids.
I just read that as an O I do best with meat,green leafy vegetables, broccoli etc.
I actually can't do this.too much meat or green veggies flare up my IbSd. so what does that mean?
Have any of you A's tried eating for your blood type?

Fancymom - Opposites must truly attract since my DH and I are the opposite of y'all...He's "O" and I'm "A"! LOL...
It's kind of like my kids at the school where I work in the guidance department, most of them are ESE, with emotional/behavioral disabilities...after 20 years doing this, if I had the money to write a grant, I think I could prove they all have allergies - it's all the mind/body/gut(other mind) connection. Anyway, as for the book, I've read it, put it away, re-read it...I just vascillate because I've had it ingrained in me for years not to eat pasta or bread becauses of the candidasis, but that's what Type A's are supposed to eat and I seem to do better eating all the SF foods Heather recommends - bagels and applesauce are my staples. Basically, I believe he's right - I just have to get my mind set. It's hard when you can't eat this because of diverticulosis, you can't eat that because of the candidiasis, plus no nightshade veggies, almost no fat - now add on-going dental surgery (difficult chewing)! Woo-Hoo! BUT...I think after many of the posts I've read on here, many people already follow the basic Type A diet - as you said, soy for protein, maybe one egg a week and chicken once a week...certain veggies, pastas,breads...The doctor who wrote it is Type A and his wife is Type O! It's quite an interesting book in that he explains why not to eat certain vegetables too. I haven't tried tofu - so if anyone has any suggestions, I "think" I'm open!
