I got really sick July 4 weekend, which prompted me to scrutinize my diet and see how I could make some changes. I reread “Eat Right 4 Your Type<\/a>” by Peter J. Adamo and realized what he said about my blood type made total sense.<\/p>\n

I have type “A” blood, and according to Adamo, those with blood type “A” do much better on a vegetarian diet<\/a>.\u00a0We have low stomach acid and trouble digesting animal protein.This explained a lot of digestive issues I’ve been having the past few years.\u00a0I\u00a0had my gallbladder taken\u00a0out in early 2026 and have been taking digestive enzymes since late 2026.\u00a0I never thought I could change the way I eat to combat some of the problems.\u00a0I thought I was eating healthy.\u00a0After all, I had lost 100\u00a0pounds by changing my eating habits and exercising.<\/p>\n

I’ve been following Adam’s recommendations for\u00a0four weeks now.\u00a0I thought I’d look or feel better by now. I thought I’d lose weight by now. So far I haven\u2019t noticed any changes.\u00a0Apparently it can take anywhere from\u00a0two weeks to\u00a0six months for the changes to be noticeable.\u00a0I look forward to the day when I feel lighter, when I have detoxed and have more energy.<\/p>\n

I had a close encounter with meat a few times, but generally I am not craving it at all. I love vegetables, fruits, whole grains and soy products, so I\u2019m enjoying my new meals. I still eat omega-3 eggs, nonfat plain Greek yogurt<\/a> and certain fish.\u00a0I have cut wheat from my diet, hoping it would help with the bloated feeling.\u00a0Not sure I\u2019ve noticed any difference yet. But I am not giving up!<\/p>\n
