Much More to Come!

I have followed the Blood Type Diet on and off since October 6th and I have lost nearly 10 pounds with fairly minimal effort. Even so, I don't want this journey to be solely about losing weight; I want it to be about feeling good, having energy, and knowing that I'm healthy.

So far, I have simply focused on:

  • cutting out white bread and whole wheat
  • cutting out most dairy products
  • eating organic meats (when possible)
  • drinking Matcha green tea in place of coffee

Not unexpectedly, I have come across some obstacles and pitfalls; for example, falling into old habits and falling hard. It's clear now that it's better to pick myself up and start over instead of giving in. Whenever I stick to the plan, my satiety at each meal is increased, I don't feel bloated, and I have more energy.

I know that this journey will continue to be a challenge, but it has certainly been worth the while, especially since I have come across some new foods and intriguing health information that I am so eager to share with everyone. At the moment, I am working on providing useful resources, such as:

  • detailed, yet easy to follow meal plans
  • more "type O friendly" recipes
  • instructional cooking videos
  • useful internet links and other resources

Later, I plan on expanding to natural beauty remedies and other exciting topics!
