I am no scientist of course, nor am I a doctor. I just thought it made sense
that we started out as meat eaters and type O was the starting blood type. (if what they say is correct) The second bloodtype started later and ate grains and veggies primarily, so came blood type A. Then O's and A's started eating both meat and veggies evolving into new blood types. It is just my opinion. It makes sense to me. That does not mean it makes sense to everyone else and I don't know how factual the guys info is so that's all I have to go off of. The only reason I looked into this diet was because we went back home after 5 years and had dinner with a friend who was always overweight and had severe allergy and cholesterol problems. His Doc put him on this diet and all of his allergies went away as well as his cholesterol lowered and he had lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks. Obviously that is not as fast as Atkins, but what is? We all know Atkins is the best. So I tried it and it worked, slowly but surely. But then I kept meeting these people who lost massive amounts on Atkins. I met a girl who asked me to switch to Atkins and we would do it together, so I did and I do not regret it one bit. we may not agree and that's ok. But we are on the same page with low carb I believe. hugs, Tonya www.lowcarbcrew.com "Pat" wrote in message ... "Tonya" wrote in message ... I missed the beginning of this conversation but I looked into that book before doing Atkins and I think it makes perfect scientific sense if you read it from front to back. I also followed it religiously and lost a little weight before switching to Atkins. The food allowance is too structured in my opinion on the ERFYBT book I am a type 0+ and I just decided that since I am already a meat eater Atkins might be good. (of course I eat plenty of veggies as well) I have often thought of switching to ERFYBT after I get to goal. Not going above my carb limit of course, but adding things like spelt pasta and sweet potato. Who knows, It's been a while since I have read that book. For now, I am sticking with Atkins. just my thoughts. hugs, Tonya Please explain what you mean by "perfect scientific sense" as the blood type diet makes absolutely NO SENSE of any kind to me.

I have to agree with Tonya. To simply state "that theory has been
thoroughly discredited" says nothing. Except that you, for some reason, disagree with a lot of good research and science. Disagree all you want. Postulate opinions all you want. The rest of us will continue to use real science to maintain control over our bodies. Zuchinni, anyone? |

You know, Sparky, it might be real good to post some of that "good research and science." See if you can find any outside of that book. I didn't just say the theory was bull****, I suggested you look to see about Chimp blood types. I suggested that because, as deep questers of "good research and science" that you are, a few minutes of seeing that blood types originated at the same time and not sequentially gives complete lie to the foolishness behind the approach. If chimps show a distribution of blood types and they were our evolutionary precursors, then the book is crap. The book is crap. Disagree all you want. Postulate opinions all you want.

You won't find any in D'Adamo's book. It may make "sense" to people who know nothing about biology and anthropology, but there is no science to back up his blood type theories. The author is a naturopath (read: herbalist with a mail order degree). Plenty of animals have multiple blood types, yet eat the same diet. The only reason his book hasn't been relegated to the trash barrel where it belongs is that he basically recommends low-carb (a diet that works) for type O, and type O is the majority blood type in North America. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

do chimps eat meat?
Sorry, I do not compare myself to a chimp. I can talk and walk upright and am human, not a chimp. I'll still hug ya. cause I'm sweet like that. Tonya "Bob (this one)" wrote in message ...

why be so mean about someone's opinion? I just don't understand. We are not
scientists ourselves so there is no way any one of us can truly know the facts. We get our info from reading and no matter what the subject, you will always find conflicting info, therefore we make a decision on which side of the story we want to believe. No need to be rude to one another. hugs, Tonya www.lowcarbcrew.com "Bob (this one)" wrote in message ... Jim Bard wrote: I have to agree with Tonya.
