Hi Karen,
Thanks for the reply. I found Dr. Peter D'Adamo's book called " Eat right for your blood type".
I have Type "A" blood and according to this Dr., I should be following a vegetarian diet. Type O's follow a mainly protien& low or no grain, Type B's have a variety of everything, Type AB's a mixture of the Type A and Type B diets. He is quite specific in what those things are. He claims that foods produce lectins and in some blood types, certain food lectins cause problems.
Some foods act like medicine in the body- these are referred to as "Beneficial Foods".
Some foods act neutral in the body and are just there for nourishment and enjoyment, these are called- "Neutral Foods"
Other foods cause this lectin agglunation in the body and can cause problems, - these are called the " Avoid Foods"
So according to this particular Diet plan, if I follow it, I really can't properly digest animal protien- Type A's are supposed to have low stomach acid and their digestive tracts should get their protien from plant products.
So this was my querry as to how to implement the low carb diet into the Blood type diet. Because a lot of the "theory" of this other diet prevents me from eating alot of meat and then I am stuck with incomplete amino acids if I can't have the carbs like beans and rice together.
Maybe this Blood type Diet isn't really for me and I should give the low carb thing a try. I understand the scientific principles behind the insulin response and how carbs trigger it. It makes perfect sense to me.
Anyways, thanks fore listening to me babble on!
I would appreciate any insight you may have on the subject.
