I'm new to the whole "eat right for your type" way of life and very ignorant about what the do's and don'ts are...
I've read through multiple forums from various sites and it looks like my whole diet is off.
This is a long list here...but PLEASE tell me what is wrong with my eating habits and how to correct them without starving me...
(I'm female, 22, active)
Oatmeal, Fried eggs, Scrambled eggs without the yolk, Peanut butter and jelly, bologna, ham, turkey, cheddar cheese, cheese sticks, boiled eggs, canned tuna, chicken and turkey, spinach salads, lots of oranges, apples, blackberries, bananas, grapefruit, strawberries, lots of cantelope and honeydew melon, whole wheat bread, baked chips, wheat&cheddar crackers, beef jerky, oats&honey cereal, bran cereal, shredded wheat cereal, lactose free milk, grape juice, grapes, raisins, carrots, cucumber, roasted, fried, baked, sauteed chicken, beef, flour tortillas, guacemole, spicy foods- queso, jalepenos, hot sauce, red pepper, black beans, peanut, pistacchios, almonds, cashews, meat&tomato pasta sauce, meat loaf, new, white, sweet potatoes, any vegie except radish or artichoke, olives black and green.
That is my diet in a nutshell.
I eat 4 meals a day with 2-3 snacks in between. I workout 5days/week on a 7/7 split- cardio 5days, rest 2, weight lifting 5days. Working out is my passion, it's what I live for, it's what I base my weekly schedule off of. I do NO yoga- I like to work hard and sweat a lot.
I take supplemental omega 3,6,9, Kelp, VitC and protein daily.

This is a reply to # 10,695Dump the bologna and the rest of processed foods....canned food is dead food. Processed food contains chemicals, presevatives, carcinogens and even can contain excitotoxins.
Throw out the jelly and peanut butter. Peanuts contain mold, no getting around it.
Lay off fried food totally and do not eat fast food. If you must eat out get a nice salad or some thing else half way healthy. If you are eating at Taco Bell, the least of the bad boys there are the bean burrito with no cheese.
Check out www.notmilk.com and after you read the information about dairy products there you may not want any more of that either. Blood, pus and mucus are what milk is made of. Cheese is made of milk.
Eat more vegetables and fruit. Fresh ones not canned. Get a juicer and use it. Stop drinking store bought juices. They are all cooked and dead most contain added sugars.
Add good oils. Coconut, olive oil and flax seed oil are good ones.

This is a reply to # 10,697Just to be clear, the comments from Blueduck are not following Blood Type Diet recommendations, not that I don't agree with some of them. Personally, I think the problem with dairy is the way it is raised commerically, not dairy itself, so I would pursue realmilk.com to notmilk.com. And coconut oil is an avoid for type A according to Dr. D'Adamo's Blood Type Diet , but personally I am not so sure about that and do use it (extra virgin, of course).
Just about anyone would tell you to avoid bologna. Following blood type guidelines the following from your list would also be avoided as much as possible: ham, cheddar cheese, cheese sticks, oranges, bananas, lots of cantelope and honeydew melon, whole wheat bread, baked chips [presuming they are made from potatoes], wheat&cheddar crackers, beef jerky, oats&honey cereal [depending whether there is wheat in them], bran cereal, shredded wheat cereal, lactose free milk, beef, flour tortillas, guacemole, queso [not sure why this is after spicy, you mean cheese, no?], jalepenos, hot sauce, red pepper, pistacchios, cashews, meat&tomato pasta sauce, meat loaf [if beef or pork], new, white, sweet potatoes, olives black and green.
Type A can have some white flour, but since it is refined, many just avoid it altogether . . . seeking out spelt, rye, kamut, rice products instead. For starches, in general, beneficial legumes (you could check through the typebase list at dadamo.com) are preferred to grains.

This is a reply to # 10,698wow.
so...pretty much everything i eat i'm not supposed to? this will be fun.
how do you manage on this diet?
i don't even KNOW what spelt, rye, kamut and legumes are!
I've read through the food index of what's recommended for us A's...but I'm really worried i'll stay hungry. Does this really fill you up?
Thank you so much, judy g, for your help!- Re: Please help me fix my diet! judy g

This is a reply to # 10,699Spelt, rye and kamut are grains. They say spelt and kamut are ancestors of wheat (and are less hybridized and thus healthier). Legumes are dried beans and lentils . . . that kind of thing.
I agree about starting off slowly (some like a clean break, but not me). Most find that some avoids have a much more noticable effect than others, and by going slowly you will learn which are which.
Some dairy is allowed for type A. I had cut dairy before finding BTD and felt better after adding back some (yogurt, ricotta and goat/sheep cheese, precisely).
I would add wheat (particularly whole wheat) to the list of items to start weaning away from pretty quickly. You would probably notice a difference starting to substitute other grains or foods.
What is it you see as lacking so you might not feel full?- Re: Please help me fix my diet! folownthewhitrabit

This is a reply to # 10,701Well I was a little worried at first because I practically lived on bread and eggs.... for the most part, I could do without the rest in the list, but sandwiches and boiled eggs I would miss severely...
The cool thing, though, is I've started trying to follow this diet and I'm actually FULL! I was having to eat SO MUCH every day--- basically just because it wasn't true nourishment for my body, so my body just kept asking for more STUFF!
I've also been consulting a nutritionist and he's helping me create a diet that works for A+ blood types, but will also provided me with the energy and protein I need to accomplish my workout goals.
I TOTALLY agree with you, Judy g, about the lactose--- I'm feeling SO much better without it- but you mentioned goat cheese. I was actually wondering about that just last night.....why is this ok?
Oh--- and soy chocolate milk! ;) ;) That's my treat for myself for changing my diet! It makes it ALLL worthwhile! :)
THanks for all your advice-- I look forward to your explanation of goat cheese.

This is a reply to # 10,695I would start slow. That way you don't feel like you are depriving yourself. Start with dairy(or anything, I'm just using it as an example)
Remove all dairy from your diet for 1 month. No milk, cheese, cottage cheese,pudding,anything with dairy in it. Just for one month. Se how you are feeling? Good I bet. Then try something else maybe red meat for a month. The secret to eating a diet like this is a 80%/20% diet. Eat your beneficial foods 80% of the time and avoid foods 20% of the time. You caqn and will change over to a full time diet but it might come slowly.
I was told to try to eat nothing but beneficial foods for one month, then the next month eat nothing but avoid foods and see how different you feel. Then you will see that this diet works!
If you start slow, it gives your body a chance to remove the toxins without starving you.- Re: Please help me fix my diet! folownthewhitrabit

This is a reply to # 10,700i think you're right--- and mentally, if i give up everything i love/bad food at once, i'll "rebel" and i'll digress.
SO FAR SO GOOD, btw, on this diet...turns out my favorite food is what i'm supposed to be eating and milk never set well with me anyway!

This is a reply to # 10,695Hey I have a question, since you work out so much, what does your body look like now? I'm 24, female, and although I'm really interested in exercise, particularly weight training I haven't been doing much because I'm in school (finishing soon though). I would definitely like to build muscle mass and then trim the fat down (even though I'm already small, just "normal" body, 5 foot 0, 105 lbs). In particular I'd like to increase my delts and lats. So I am wondering if you are lean and toned or if you have bulked up a bit, or a lot, what kind of comments and responses you get from the average "people on the street" or your relatives, how you feel about it, etc. Have you ever read Oxygen magazine? I like those type of bodies, like Margaret Diubaldo and Kelly Ryan for example.
Oh, and btw I am blood type A and when I read the Blood Type Diet I laughed because basically all my favorite things, that I ate most of the time, were for type A. Grapefruit is one of my all-time favorites! And I tended toward vegetarianism so that was not surprising either. But I'm not following BTD, just trying to stick to healthy whole foods and make it through school. No dairy for me, though.
There are different ways to go with eating, I'm sure you'll figure out what works for you, but definitely the advice to stay away from processed meat is good advice no matter what nutrition plan you're following. Stuff like balogny and beef jerky is chock full of bad-for-you-ness, it's just crazy!
