absolutly amazing.  Kobyashi (sp?) the hot dog eater guy. it amazes me\n\nsport -  no\n\ntelevised - yes it entertains me, and obviously you enough to write about it\n\nPaid - if they are going to do that to their body, might as well get a years supply of hot dogs or something?\n\nAgree - hmmm more disturbing.

Some people may not think it's really healthy, but it works for me. Long before I even heard of Atkins, I've been eating a high protien diet. I finally realized this a few years ago when my sister asked me why I thought my hair & nails grew quicker than hers & why I didn't eat as much or gain weight. The major difference was our diets. I'm not a big eater & never have been and when I do eat I usually want someting filling. I eat a good amount of eggs & meat, some dairy ( not big on ice cream or milk, love cheese, though ), at least 3 veggies/fruits a day. I eat beans, nuts, sweets  here & there. I eat small amounts of most things. Half a candy bar, small piece of pizza, handful of berries......I get full really quickly. Even though I like good bread I eat only a small amount of carbs becuz they fill me up quickly, but I end up being hungry an hour or so later............

I wouldn't\nif you wanna lose weight quickly and "healthily"\nexercise and eat right\nI know it sounds like crap advice but it works, trust me from experience\njust eat small portions of healthy food and EXERCISE

In my opinion it would really depend on the person dieting. Weight Watchers allows you to eat almost anything just within reason, and you have to count points. It's not a diet that will cause you to lose weight extremely fast, however it will cause you to keep the weight off that you do lose, unlike Adkins. This diet you can lose a lot of weight really fast but most people (not all) gain it back just a quick and then some, because sooner or later you'll want those carbs back.

I've never followed Peter D'Adamo's protocol, although I might try some of his advice if I can ever find a copy of his book to borrow. I'm not interested in dieting, because I'm already slim and lean, but I'd be interested if his theories helped me feel better overall, of if they might help with some of my chronic disorders (asthma, acid reflux, ADHD, rosacea).\n\nHowever, I would NOT follow 100% of he says for my blood type, which is O positive. I'd only follow what is applicable to me. For example, I've heard that folks with my blood type should, according to D'Adamo, eat red meat 3 to 4 times a week. Well, that's OUT for me! I'm 34 and already have elevated cholesterol, due to a genetic propensity for this from my mom's side of the family. I am very slim, active, and for the most part eat very well-balanced, healthy meals, yet I STILL have the beginnings of a cholesterol problem. \n\nSo I sure as heck am not going to start eating a bunch of red meat!! It so happens I don't really even like most red meats (except hamburger), and I hate steak. I mainly eat white meat chicken, white meat turkey, and fish. But even if I loved red meat, I would still limit my consumption of it, in the hopes of keep my cholesterol numbers from becoming high enough to warrant medication like Lipitor. :(\n\nI guess my ramblings only answered the first part of your question ("Has anyone tried eating according to their blood type?"), but not the second part, about whether it helped or hindered them. :) But hopefully you found this interesting anyway.

Meh, eating the stuff once in a while is okay.  Once every week or two won't hurt you, as long as you live a relatively healthy lifestyle.  : )

hehe I think I come from the old school but whatever makes you feel good. I had a routine for meets. Steak 2 nights before, pasta night before, McDonald's in the morning 2 sets of hot cakes and 2 of those Cinnamon rolls(loved those things). And then for between prelims and finals I ALWAYS ate a large pizza from little Cesar's. I think eating those things just helped me have a standard to go by and not have to worry about what I was going to eat. (I would eat grapes during the meet)

well, fast is to lose the carbs. BUT as soon as you start eating them again it comes back. I would do the healthy exercise and diet for a long term plan, as it is better for you in the long run.

yes.  its not something i'd care to get a steady diet of.\n\nits kinda creepy.

Yes.  It was my first experience with North American food...Though not at McDonald's, it was a hamburger and fries.\n\nFast foods cooked for speed and convenience are deep fried in oils which are used many times.  We are literally eating everything in the air and having it hard-cooked right into our foods, and inviting this into our digestive system where the immune system draws it's nutrients and is the basis for our health.  \n\nThese "fast" foods compromise our immune systems, are toxic, and will over time, lead to general ill health if eaten often.  Poison makes us ill.  The body speaks a sometimes more than subtle language, and I hope you've heard and understood it does not like nor can it fight off poisonous food.

i don't know why you put that in there about getting hungry!...but i think i would do it.  i find that sort of thing interesting.  it's a very special calling, and i think that people who feel like it's for them should pursue it.  (not if it makes them hungy, though.)  as long as you are respectful and mature about it...remember, that is someone's son/daughter/mother/father, etc., there is nothing wrong with it.

Haha! I think it's what the marketing departments of those "wonder" pills want us to believe just to increase their sales.  That's why they always say reeeeally fast, "These statements are not proved by the FDA." That's also why the small,white, hard-to-read print onscreen says "Results not typical." After all the hype they say of 'eat what you want and still lose weight', they will add as an afterthought, "All diet plans require a doctor's approval and an exercise program." But nobody hears that part because they're too busy dialing the 800 number to place an order...as they lay on the couch with a bowl of ice cream in their lap.

There is no "fast" way that is healthy and nothing worthwhile is ever easy.  You must consume less calories than what you use in a day and you have to incorportate exercise.\n\nThat being said, if you are interested, contact me with your email address (diet is too many "characters" to fit in the Yahoo Answers mail system), I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.

I think we live in such an instant society - everything is quick and easy. We don't want to save money to buy what we want. We'd rather get into debt. We want high speed everything. Diets take hard work and a lot of time. Most people are too impatient to wait for results. I lost some weight a while ago and people were so disappointed when I told them I had eaten less and exercised to shed the pounds. They wanted to hear that I'd taken some miracle pill and that it happened overnight

I cannot answer your question, but wanted to share an anectdote that may make it easier for you next time you fast. For a few months I did a raw food diet (~ 80%) and it was very easy with no headache or other unpleasant symptoms at all to fast. The supposition was amongst we raw foodists that the body had the chance to catch up all along & so didn't have any extra to "dump" into the blood when the fast started.\n\nExcellent question!\n\n;-)

I'm 29, and have always had a hard time. I have found that the easiest and most effective thing is to eat small amounts, several times a day. I don't even eat healthy all the time...I keep things like nuts, string cheese, summer sausage, etc...around, and just make myself eat something every couple of hours. I avoid fast food as much as possible, and when I do eat it, I order a kid's meal to help with portion control. When I sit down to a regular meal, I always take 1/2 of what I think I want, wait about 20 min., and then judge if I NEED more or not. The other big key is water...AT LEAST 8 servings a day, and more is better. NO regular pop. The fact that you are already in the habit of walking is great as well. Keep doing that, but maybe use a timer and try to go a little farther each day within your 30 min. That will increase your pace without taking more time. I hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is to try and do work and school at the same time, and still struggle to find time for housework and taking care of yourself...which always seems to end up the lowest priority. :)
