the blood-type diet.

so, when i went to chicago, my cousin michele was talking about this new diet that all of her friends were doing. it was called the "blood-type" diet. supposedly, genetic evolution and the type of blood one has is directly related the levels of chemicals and digestive evolution of one's body.

so i'm type A positive, apparently.
here's what the website has to say.


Type As flourish on a vegetarian diet - if you are accustomed to eating meat, you will lose weight and have more energy once you eliminate the toxic foods from your diet. Many people find it difficult to move away from the typical meat and potato fare to soy proteins, grains and vegetables. But it is particularly important for sensitive Type As to eat their foods in as natural a state as possible: pure, fresh and organic.


Type As have a naturally high level of the stress hormone cortisol and produce more in response to stressful situations.


Due to the naturally elevated cortisol in type As, additional stress often manifests in several ways; disrupted sleep patterns, daytime brain fog, increased blood viscosity (thickening), and promotes muscle loss and fat gain. In extreme cases in Type As, stress can manifest in more serious ways, causing obsessive-compulsive disorder, insulin resistance and hypothyroidism.
