In my on-going pursuit to live life to the fullest, 2 weeks ago I switched my diet according to a book called Eat Right for Your Blood Type.
It makes sense that that not all diets are meant for all people. In this book Dr. Peter J D'Adamo goes into great detail to list the foods that are either beneficial, neutral, or harmful depending on if your blood type is O, A, B, or AB.
So again, 2 weeks ago I switched my diet to take out things like Corn and Potatoes (2 of my staples ever since I was born!!!) and eat according to my O blood type. I had a very good nutrition plan in place before this, so I didn't notice any major differences right away. However lately I have started noticing small things such as not feeling any little aches in my bones/back as much, more mental clarity, and what can only be described as a more stable flow of energy (i.e.: less ups and downs.. peaks and valleys).
But the biggest difference and adjustment has been that its rare I feel trully full! All my life (or at least as long as I can remember), I would eat... eat... and eat some more and then feel full for about 30-60 minutes afterwards. You know... that feeling that you get after a nice big turkey supper (just not that extreme! ha ha).
Now, there'll be a big plate of food in front of me, which I devour in my usual ferocity, but when I am done I don't feel full. The hunger is gone and I don't have any real desire to eat any more, but I don't feel full. Even now, I question if I should keep eating until I feel this feeling of full I have been feeling all my life. After all, feeling full used to be the signal to me to stop putting food in my mouth. Could this have been wrong all my life? Is this how you are meant to feel?
All very strange and gets me curious as to what other feelings I may be experience which are either wrong or misleading.
What thoughts or feelings have you had your entire life (or a long time) which you have just accepted as life but in reality may not be appropriate?
Your friend and Coach,

Hey Bryce,
ReplyDeleteThis is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm seeing a nutritionist, and since, I've changed my diet completely and for my blood type as well. It's been 5 weeks now and my body is transforming, in to what I would consider my natural form. The right foods truly are medicine. The mind and body are so incredibly connected. My nutritionist said something very profound, beautiful and true. "This means that the one who seeks good health must go on a journey. A journey back to the earth, back to eating the foods mother nature has provided to sustain us since the beginning of time."
Best,
