Thank goodness it is Thanksgiving. Turkey is so much better.
In a previous post I mentioned that folks who are a blood type B should not each chicken and most recipes call for chicken. I try to substitute turkey or beef as much as I can.
Type B Diet
For Type Bs the biggest factors in weight gain are corn, wheat,
buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts and sesame seeds. Each of these
foods affect the efficiency of your metabolic process, resulting in
fatigue, fluid retention, and hypoglycemia - a severe drop in blood
sugar after eating a meal. When you eliminate these foods and begin
eating a diet that is right for your type, you blood sugar levels should
remain normal after meals. Another very common food that Type Bs should
avoid is chicken. Chicken contains a Blood Type B agglutinating lectin
in its muscle tissue. Although chicken is a lean meat, the issue is the
power of an agglutinating lectin attacking your bloodstream and the
potential for it to lead to strokes and immune disorders. Dr. D'Adamo
suggests that you wean yourself away from chicken and replace them with
highly beneficial foods such as goat, lamb, mutton, rabbit and venison.
Other foods that encourage weight loss are green vegetables, eggs,
beneficial meats, and low fat dairy. When the toxic foods are avoided
and replaced with beneficial foods, Blood Type Bs are very successful in
controlling their weight.
