i just got a great new diet from a friend of mine and am starting on Monday.  I have copied it in for you.\n_______\nDAY 1.All fruits except bananas. Your first day consist of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lots of melons the first day especially watermelon and cantaloupe.\nDay One: You are preparing your system for the upcoming Program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature's perfect food.  They provide everything you can possibly want to sustain life except  Total Balance and variety.\nDAY 2.All vegetables.  You  are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed With all the raw and cooked vegetables  of  your choice. There is no limit On the amount or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables.  Have large boiled potato for breakfast.\nDay Two:Starts  with a fix of complex carbohydrates in the form of a boiled potato.  This is taken in the form of a boiled potato and taken in the morning to provide energy and balance. The rest of the day too consists of vegetables,  which  are  virtually  calorie  free and provide essential nutrients and fiber.\nDAY 3.Any  mixture  of  fruits  and  vegetables  of your choice. Any amount, any quantity, no bananas yet and no potatoes today.\nDay Three:Eliminates  the potato because you get your carbohydrates from fruits.  Your system is now prepared to start  burning excess pounds. You will Have cravings, which should start to diminish by day four.\nDAY 4.Banana  and  Milk.  Today  you  will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have 1 bowl of Vegetable soup.\nDay Four:Bananas  and milk. You are in for a surprise. You probably will not be able to eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and sodium you may have missed the last three days. You will  notice  a  definite  loss  of  desire for sweets and you will be surprised at how easy this day will go.\nDAY 5.Today  is  feast  day. You will eat 1 cup of rice. You also have to Eat six whole tomatoes and drink 12 glasses of  water today to cleanse Your system of the excess uric acid you will be Producing.\nDay Five:Rice  and  tomatoes. The rice is for the carbohydrates and the tomatoes are for the digestion and fiber. Lots and lots of water purify you system. You should notice colorless urine today. Do not feel you have to eat one-cup rice, you may eat less. But you may eat six tomatoes.\nDAY 6.Today  is  another all vegetables day. You must eat 1 cup of rice Today and eat all the vegetables you want,cooked or uncooked, in your Hearts content. \nDay Six:It  is  similar  to  five.  Vitamins  and  fiber from  the vegetables and carbohydrates from the rice. By now your system  is in a total Weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way You look today compared to day one.\nDAY 7.Today  your food intake will consist  of 1 cup of rice, fruit juice And the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five To eight Kgs. Lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss repeat  the  program  again. Repeat the program as often as you like.  However, it is suggested that you rest for three days before every\nrepetition. You  have  your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it.  Even  more  than  a diet  program it is good to follow this diet once in awhile to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have accumulated in the system.\nDay Seven:You  may  celebrate with champagne. You may also have white wine instead of champagne, but in all practical programs,  and in all surveys done to measure the success of the program, General Motors employees have always preferred champagne to wine \nADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The most important element of the program is the 10 tall glasses of water a day. You can also flavor  the  water with  some lemon to make the drink easier. While on the program take only black coffe

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.

I've already shared with you my views on this matter. Would you be surprised if I told you they haven't changed since this morning? Eating commercially raised cattle, pigs, etc is bad for them and worse for us. They have their final revenge when we die of atherosclerotic heart disease. Oh well, what goes around comes around as they say.

It's not the food, It's the cooking and processing.\n\nAfter trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 3 years now. I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.\n\nI did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights,  aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.\n\nI also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and  taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.\n\ntake a look at my before and after pictures...\n---------------------------------------------------------------\nI'm Chris...\nhttp://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Journals/Chris/Pictures/RawPictures.htm\n\nhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/personalgrowthnow/album?.dir=/bfa5&.src=ph&.tok=ph1YNpEBJB8qTLBg\n\nmore info:\nhttp://www.thelighthousewebworld.com/raw.htm

that was my problem too until i found the answer to the same question.  i thrive only on rolled oats.  rolled oats are fibers.  i eat that as rice substitute.  i also eats meat, veggies, fruits and fish.  no fats.  i never eat rice from then on.  i shed 15 lbs for less than 2 months.

At one time in my life, when I was in my 20's, I was diagnosed as anemic.  The cause?  Malnutrition....the reason behind it?  My "husband" at that time, only gave me enough money for HIS food, $30 a week...and I had a baby in the house (she WAS on WIC which was a God-send!)...so he got his "meat" every night, she definitely got her babyfood and diapers every week, and I?  I got leftovers, which was mainly bread and potatoes...nothing else.  I lost my nails, my hair suffered horribly, and I couldn't even stand up to cook!  I had to sit on a stool to fix his meals!  Did he care?  No....and within 2 years, he threw my daughter (she's now 21, beautiful girl, has nothing to do with him) and myself out on the street, telling me one night to be gone by the time he woke up.  I did what he wanted, and by 6 am was at a friends and making plans to move the 2 hours to "home" where my parents lived.  There IS life after anemia...and I'm praying that you are this way NOT because of anything similar...so there is a website listed below that gives information on building your iron intake with foods, and other resources I hope you find helpful.  Good luck, and take care!

Do you think there is something in your environment - at work or home - that may be a contributing factor?  Does your life involve a lot of noise or even strife?  Do you think your food may be affecting you? Some people are affected adversely when they eat potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms etc. Certain people do not 'tolerate'some foods and it may surface as pain,or seen in the face etc.. Writing is one way of tracking stress and even relieving it. Going for walks(physical fitness/health activity?)or engaging in other interests/hobbies like crocheting, gardening, sewing, playing music or a musical instrument may help.  Sometimes people are bored and may need to change a routine or do something good for themselves or other people (at a hospital,nursing home,orphanage,youth group) etc. Nobody really enjoys sickness and stress.  Fish poisoning got me to wake up and look at life in a different way.It is too long to share here so I am writing my insights as an article on  a website.

Without diet and exercise? It's almost impossible, but if you stop eating altogether, I suppose that would work...unhealthy, of course!!

Everyone is different.  Eat everything in moderation.\nstay away from too many saturated fats, and simple carbs.\n\nEat as much un processed food as possible, \nEat as much organic food as possible.\n\nTake a quality multi-vitamin, since we are not getting the same nutrients from vegetables as we used to.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

first you need to ask yourself...why do you not like fruits or vegetables...\nThere are not any that you like?...maybe you haven't found the ones you do or would like?\nI would talk to a doctor or nutritionist to get further ideas on what you should eat, if you absolutely do not like anything...because you need vegetables and fruits in your diet in order to be healthy, not just fit...

I cannot imagine what this must be like for you and my heart goes out to you.  I'm sure you've 'tried it all' by now but I do have two thoughts that you might consider:\n\nFirst: can you determine whether in the weeks prior to becoming sick, did you become exposed to something new?  Building materials in a new house?  Mold?  Chemicals or fumes from paint, body piercing, tattoos, etc?  I know it's been a long time now and you may not be able to reconstruct the past entirely (but perhaps there are times when you feel better or the symptoms disappear??)\n\nSecond, I believe very very strongly that the additives in the things we eat can wreak havoc with our bodies.  A long time ago I read a book called "Diet for a Poisoned Planet", and it dealt with all the toxins in our water, the sulfa drugs and antibiotics that are placed into the feed given to livestock but which is not regulated by the FDA, and the preservatives and additives found in things as simple as a box of Frosted Flakes.\n\nThe case studies presented by the author were astounding, and it caused me to be more alert to changes in my general health and to try tracing those changes back to things I've eaten.\n\nHave you done a food journal at all?  I know they're a pain to maintain but maybe it will start to show a pattern.  Everything you put in your mouth and the time of day should be recorded.  It may be something as simple as sugar-free gum or a tic-tac.  \n\nThen see if you can find a nutritionist who will work with you.  Consider a detoxification program.  I have a friend who goes to a naturopath, I think, and through some blood screens they decided she had some sensitivities to certain types of foods.  So they eliminated just about everything and found a base diet for her to eat until she'd gone through this cleansing process (that took a long time and she did have to buy special foods and nutrition supplements). \n\nThen they started adding back some of the foods to see how she tolerated them.  \n\nI hope you find the right combination of solutions to get relief.  I'll say a prayer for you... good luck!

How about having fruit for  'starters' before every meal, or puree some vegetables into a drink and of course you could have soup. I have heard recently that people who have soup before a meal consume 30% less calories for each meal
