Re: Blood type diet...

The best results I have ever gotten from a diet are when I ate a "paleo" diet.

This thread may seem a little off topic but imo it's not. Liver health has a lot to do with dietary habits of course.

Basically the paleo diet I follow is as follows:

Free range meat, non starch veggies, nuts, berries and a limited amount of fruit.

All items are organic and if possible (except meat) raw.

The reason fruits are limited are because they were probably very seasonal in most parts of the world.

The tie in with the Blood Type Diet imo is the fact that different bloodlines of course had different amounts/types of food available in abundance.

Me, for instance being an Irish/Scottish/German eurotrash mutt, would have a lot less fruits than lets say someone from the tropics. And hence, maybe that is why the emphasis on meat, veggies, nuts and berries seems to work best for me.

I think in general, processed foods, high saturated fats, chemicals and high Sugar content are not what we are designed to eat though- regardless of blood type.

What about animal fat? Well free range, organic, grass fed beef has MUCH less saturated fat than store bought meat. It is almost a different food alltogether. In fact, the omega 3/6 ratio of animals raised this way is almost exactly a perfect 1:2 as many experts recommend (wow what a coincidence).

Fruit today, imo has way too much sugar. Over the years, fruit has been grown to have much higher Sugar content and much lower fiber. Unless you find a crab apple in the forrest, it is hard to mimic what was available before man mucked it all up. I would say that today's coconuts are pretty true to history though.

Now that I have thoroughly pissed off every meat hater and fruit lover, I'll get my shield out and await the rath ;-)
