In Trader Joe’s grocery store I found a bag of four bagels for five dollars. As I was turning them over in my hand a young man asked me if I was finding everything okay. I told him I was trying to figure out why theses bagels were so expensive. He informed me they were both Gluten and GMO free. I dropped them like they were evil and asked him if they had any gluten loaded bagels with a touch of GMO? He gave me a horrified look and walked me over to the sane people bagels much like he was making the walk of shame.
I don’t remember why, but he started telling me about this diet he was on called the blood diet. I was about to ask him if he was a vampire but he seemed to think I actually cared and went on to explain how you eat food according to your blood type.
I know people breathe, I had the same stunned silent reaction. I am here to tell you there is indeed such a thing as the blood diet. Because I value your readership I went ahead and looked it up. Dr. Peter D’Adamo is the creator of a diet where you eat very specific foods according to your blood type. This diet will make you feel better, give you energy and enrich your life. As an added bonus it proves that not all doctors graduated at the top or even middle of the class. Right Dr D?
This ‘diet’ takes no other factors into consideration, just blood type. For example, All you 3 million Americans who suffer from Celiac disease you may want to check your blood type before you try the blood diet. If you happen to have blood type ‘A’ you will probably have a very painful death as type A blood type dictates you can only eat wheat and other grain related products.
To add insult to injury your exercise will also depend on blood type. So while you blood type A celiacs will be cramping massively due to your gluten heavy diet at least you will be in agony while attempting the downward dog from the reverse warrior position.
Next door neighbors decided to go on the “Cabbage” diet. All they ate was cabbage soup, 3x a day. You could hear them coming as soon as they walked out their door because as you know cabbage is “gassy”! Don’t think they lost much weight but almost did lose some neighbors! Only visited with them outside!! Some diets are just fads & detrimental to your health.
Most are fads and I believe are ultimately designed to fail. The diet industry is a billion dollar industry. If the diets worked they would lose all that income. Think about it.
And those of us that don’t remember our blood types can remain on the Seefood Diet. I see food and I eat it. Or maybe I should call it the Turkey Diet. I gobble all I see. Wah wah.
Heard about the seafood diet, this is the first I heard the Turkey diet, love it.
The stupid, it burnssss us! Everyone is so convinced that they’re such a special snowflake that they need a special diet that no one else follows. Eat less, move more, eat whole foods, avoid over-processed crap. It’s pretty simple. And don’t even get me started on the Gluten-free idiocy.
Enjoyed your humour, as usual, but did not understand the warrior bit. Perhaps I’m in the wrong generation! However, speaking of diets, when I in the waiting room at my endocronologist (sp?) re my thyroid someone phoned the secretary and was pleading with her to take her on as a patient. She wanted to lose weight. “The doctor is not taking on any new patients. You want to lose weight? Eat less, move more.” I had a good laugh.
The worrier thing and downward dog are yoga positions.
Your mother wrote the comment. I tried to change the name but no luck. Just so you know!
