CQ, you're right, and I have given it up, at least temporarily.....maybe permanently.

Re: Soup and gain weight

Hi all,

I also noticed weight gain when I ate the most beans (was only eating kidney beans because I really like them). I couldn't figure out why I was gaining even though I was only eating more beans and was following everything else to the 't'. I am a type O blood type as well but I'm still not 100% convinced of the blood type diet. I am wondering what some of the long time followers and success stories blood types are? What are Mary and Roger's blood types? (just out of curiosity, because if roger is a type O then it some what quashes this theory).

Thanks for your reply!

Hey Y'all,

I just have to interject here....not trying to start a fight or be snarky at all.  However, I'm an O positive and I have never found a plan that works as well for me as LDL.  And I eat all the beans, popcorn and other things on the plan I want.  This is just my personal opinion, but I think all of this stuff about bloodtype is a bunch of hooey.  I know in my heart that God led me to LDL for a reason.  And I believe that reason is because LDL is the plan He created for me.  For me personally, I spent so many years worrying about one thing or another.  Doing part of one plan and then part of another.  In the end, all it did was frustrate me and lead me back to my old ways.  I believe that was because I hadn't changed my thinking at the time.  A person doesn't just lose 85 lbs. like I did if the plan isn't working.  Know what I mean?

I just don't want newbies to think they have to be concerned with what their blood type is, or what they weigh every morning when they wake up, or counting calories or fat grams etc. etc.  I know that if they will just follow LDL and TRUST God and this WOE that they WILL lose the weight and ALL of it.  Just my two cents.

I love you all and want you all to find the success that works for you.  I just know for me that LDL is the one and only answer.  Of course I might be losing a little faster if I was hanging out with a cowboy or a cop  :tongue:  But I digress.  

Fit, Happy and Healthy LP

I'd like to comment on the blood-type diet also.  I tried it years ago, hoping that it was the answer to my weight problem.  The blood type diet instructs me to eat dairy and to avoid corn, lentils, wheat, and tomatoes (I am type B).  Okay, so I'm avoiding wheat and dairy, however, I am consuming all I want of corn, lentils, and tomatoes.  I have lost almost 50#, have lowered my blood pressure, feel great, and am confident that I can eat this way the rest of my life.  As much as I wanted the blood-type diet (and every other diet that came down the pike) to work for me, it failed- as did the rest until I found LDL and started last May 25!  I just realized yesterday that I have hit a milestone.  I weigh less than during my "biggest" pregnancy :inlove:!  Pam

I don't know that much about it but I do know that my husband had terrible allergies and no one could figure it out. After going to a specialist they tested him for all kinds of foods. Most of the foods that he's allergic to are also listed as an "avoid" food for his type.

I'm allergic to avocados, tangerines and oranges. They give me hives and they're listed under mine.

I find that very interesting.

I thank Roger Troy for giving us this information to help us lose weight by eating our main meal at lunch and having just fruit for breakfast and dinner. But, sometimes one size doesn't fit all even though the tag says so, therefore, I'm only going to use the fruits, vegetables and beans for our types.

Yes!  I think most people could use both the blood-type diet and LDL in tandem.  I am unwilling, at least now, to give up tomatoes (ouch!  Most of my soups), lentils (great protein source and cook quickly), and corn- oops!  No popcorn.  If I completely stall, I may have to rethink, however, I am confident that LDL as written is my plan.  Pam

Mary,

They also didn't live as long.

From what I been able to learn about it is that certain foods react with our cells depending on our blood type, therefore, can be beneficial or cause inflammation at the cellular level. Inflammation is the cause of all diseases and makes us grow old fast...real fast.

I think that a lot of people are under the influence that the blood type diet is only for weight loss. It's not. It's just a benefit of good health. Dr. Peter D'Adamo's father, who was also a physician, realized years ago that food plays a big part in our lives. Depending on our blood type, certain foods react differently with each and every one of us and can either kill us (a slow death) or prolong our life.

His goal was for everyone to eat foods that were beneficial for our blood type, keep us healthy and live longer lives unlike the biblical times that Mary spoke of where the average life span after Jesus was approximately 40 years. We may eat something that isn't acceptable and not experience hives, itching, gastrointestinal problems, etc., however, if you were to put our cells underneath a microscope, you'd see that our cells were going through a change...inflammation.

It's already been proven that inflammation is the culprit of all diseases...like cancer, osteoarthritis, etc. It also causes our cells to hold on to fat, therefore, making us obese. And, yes, it does cause us to age at a rapid speed. I'm sure a lot of people have already read the books written by Dr. Nicholas Perricone regarding inflammation and wrinkles.

Again, the blood type diet explains that certain blood types like type O should refrain from a high amount of carbs. Dr. Atkins knew that the majority of the American population was type O and, therefore, made a fortune selling his diet. A type O can still eat beans but not every day....more like three times a week at the most (I will often use recipes like Sicilian Mama's Rags Soup for the other four days).

The Let's Do Lunch program is a very good program to lose weight because it puts our bodies in the 75/25 ratio needed to obtain the balanced alkaline/acid diet in order to keep us healthy (that's why God revealed this information to RT even though he'd never heard of the alkaline/acid diet). We just need to remember that certain foods will affect our weight loss based on our blood type. Now, having said that, corn is a major problem for most type O's but if you are a type O and it doesn't affect you, then don't worry about it.

I hope this information will put everything into perspective so that we can move on to bigger and better things....like losing weight... after all, isn't that why we are here?

Thanks CodingQueen for explaining how it works.

I know that a lot of the things my husband and I are allergic to are listed among the foods that we are suppose to avoid and now I know why.

Thanks for your post to help us to better understand the blood type diet.

I've had the same issues with corn, popcorn, beans and the soups. My weight stalls. I'm also type 0 negative. I have no idea if that is relevant or not, but be that as it may, I don't do well eating starchy veggies or grain based products.

I recently went out and bought bags and bags of beans to cook from scratch because the canned varieties are loaded with sodium and hidden sugars. Perhaps the canned items are what stalled me. I'll see if fresh makes a difference. I did rinse the life out of the canned beans, but still....

I also purchased no sodium broth packets rather than the low sodium canned broths because I'm very sensitive to the salt in canned items and they cause me to retain fluids.

I think LDL is an extremely healthy way of eating and last summer when I stuck to the plan, my skin looked wonderful and I felt terrific. My cholesterol also dropped about 45 points with only an 8lb weight loss. I'm going to give it another go, but if I don't see some results within one month, I'll drop the beans totally and stick with fruits, veggies and proteins.  

When it comes to weight loss, I really don't think one size fits all.

This has been a most interesting thread and CQ you always add food for thought...the pun is intended!!  :D

Just an interesting observation along the lines of what Mary said and the amount of food available in biblical times. There was an article in our newspaper recently about a professor in one of our Canadian universities who studied paintings of the last supper. He put them in chronological order. It was amazing how the depiction of the food on the table charges with each time period. The amount of food in the pictures became became bigger and bigger as time went on. The article said when the earliest paintings were done food was very difficult to get, such as the fattened calf which would only be available to the very wealthy.
