good read on cholesterol and eggs.....

Thanks everyone for your replies!

I'm in between visitors and dont have enough time to be here like I used to couple of months ago. Could y'all be kind enough to suggest meal designs suitable for B's who needs to bring his triglycerides, cholesterol & blood sugar level really down. Like in the beginning when I started on BTD, I was picking the right food but eating them at the wrong time-classic example: starchy veggies in the morning etc., Like wise, could y'all suggest what is the best way to eat for B's? I can see that my husband is worried about his health.

Please help. I'll check in later....

Thanks very, very much !

Can you get the Cardiovascular Disease book?

He needs to eat a lot like you, although using the appropriate type B foods. He needs plenty of protein, low grain, some good clean dairy (and many B recommend full fat dairy instead of lowfat), particularly cultured dairy, lots of vegetables, some fruit, black walnuts, olive oil, green tea, turmeric, some herb teas.

The only 2 books available here are the ER4YT & LR4YT. There are no plans for Borders to bring the library series in. Online shopping, unfortunately isnt in my league, that's why I depend heavily on the site for info.

Mentioned to him the effects of grain-carb loading on our system, and he murmured something about staying away from grains may be for a month. He's taken a bag of green tea leaves with him to the office, and I've enough supply at home. Dairy no problems, full fat, home made stuff. Veggies & fruits, no probs as well, coz I prepare 4-5 veggie dishes.  Turmeric, no probs, part of our daily lives. Hmm, black walnuts, now there is a problem getting hold of that. Almonds in small doses, is that ok?

Soft cheese are preferred, no? Could have that as a snack for him I thought. Weekends are going to be challenging coz that's when the sweet tooth & pizza fiend arrive in full force!

Please guide me with more tips, and thanks once again!

The reason I mentioned black walnuts is because they are a type B Super Beneficial in the Cardiovascular Disease book. Almonds are neutral.

Use the list of acceptable cheeses in LR4YT or check TYPEbase.

Oats/oatmeal is a type B Super Beneficial in the Cardiovascular Disease book and try to use the other beneficial grains in LR4YT or check TYPEbase, but only like 1 serving a day, or less.

Maybe tomorrow I can provide more food details or maybe someone else will before I can.

But black walnuts are impossible to get outside US !

So If you could get ordinary walnuts ( neutral) that would be good for omega 3 . Almonds is best if you don´t eat alot of them- they conatins more omega 6 - and we get far too much of that in our diet.

Here are the top 13 heart healthy food for Bs:
1) lean organic lamb or mutton
2)richly oiled fatty fish (halibut, mackerel,sardine)
3) cultured dairy( youghurt- kefir)
4) Olive oil
5) Black walnuts
6) shitake mushrooms
7) Broccoli
8 ) collards, kale, mustard greens
9) Pineapple
10) Cranberries
11) Herbal teas( dandelion, ginseng, licorice root)
12) Turmeric
13 Green tea.

Oatmeal is superbeneficial-and the only grain that is it that category- notice that riceflour product is in the (neutral-allowed infrequent category)- so be carefull with white rice and rice noodles
Bean category: fava/broad beans and nothern beans are sb while soybean is neutral infrequent and soy cheese, milk tofu is avoids!

supplemnets include:
q10
magnesium, vitamin C, fenugreek and OPC
especially for colesterol control:
soluble fibre supplement
green tea extract and Pantethine ( B5)

common Walnut, Persian Walnut {Juglans regia - Juglandaceae}
Black Walnut, Schwarznuß, Sort Valnød  {J. nigra - Juglandaceae}

People do grow Black Walnuts in Europe - and I've even noticed that varieties of the common Walnut here in UK have a stronger flavour than normal and a select few are very similar in flavour to Black Walnuts.

BUT not here in Denmrk- I have looked in Sweden, and Germany- and when I asked in London they looked at be : WHAT ???
I have a fine walnut tree in my garden Juglans regia - Juglandaceae it is really on the north border- but with the global heating even the swedes should be able to grow walnuts    
- My whole families are involved with gardening /plants: 2 X landscapearchitects, 1X gardener, 1 X a forest guy) and they all say that black walnut do not grow well here.( and taste too bitter)

Quoted from Henriette_Bsec

... they all say that black walnut do not grow well here.( and taste too bitter)

I agree. I don't care for the taste of black walnuts, at least by themselves.  
The taste is probably OK when used sparingly in certain foods.

Just a question about an earlier comment (I don't know how to transfer the quote).

How does one determine if they are a B who is more O-like or more vegetarian-like?

I don't understand your question.

Well It was my comment
I think that because B´s are BT with the most variety- all foodgroups are part of it I think the approach to the B diet can be very varied:
I know a B who do very well with a almost vegetarian( Lacto-ovo) approach: She eats only 1-2 servings of meat- and maybe 1-2 serving of fish pr week an the ammount is tiny- BUT the high number of grain and beans- she she is very fit and well:
I need the high ammount of meat and fish( and a medium- large serving) - and never get close the beans - and IF I had the max of grains I would be more fat. I am closer to the O´s- I get really cranky without animal protein.

Bs as well as Os do best with their recommended servings of meat.

due to their higher levels of IAP ( as opposed to As) their physiology is designed to not avoid meat.

But notice the difference from :

2 servings pr week: my friend- Bsec rh+
to 8 pr week= B nonnie rh-
lots of variety
