The flush days are very good for us to help eliminate toxins. I just don't use beans in my soups...just vegetables.
The rest of the week I eat more lean red meat than chicken, turkey or fish at lunch and every now and then I'll have some type of bean soup as well...2-3 times a week.
The other thing he told me to do was to
only use the foods allowed for my blood type. I've already realized that corn and popcorn stalls my weight loss and they're not allowed for my type. So, I've gone through the list of foods that are beneficial for my type and am trying to eat more of them. For example broccoli is highly beneficial..so I use it in my flush soups, a raw salad or a cooked side dish. Pinto beans and kidney beans are not allowed and I was making a lot of soups using those which probably explains the weight gain. Now I'm using more black beans and Great Northern beans just to name a few.
By the way, coconut oil is
not allowed for any blood type. I also asked him about that, too. He said that he agreed with Dr. Mercola regarding the use of it because most people cook with the heat too high. But if they would learn to only use medium to medium low heat when they cook that olive oil would be best.

I am a type A which are supposed to do well on a vegetarian diet. I do notice that when I do fruit for breakfast and dinner, lots of lean meat and a veggie for lunch, and grapes as a late snack, I lose weight. Every time I have eaten the beans, I gain. I don't get it.
