Quoted from thatoneguyonline

I'm not very religious either (I do consider myself christian, though), but as far as wrong or right goes I try to remember Romans 14:3 that basically says it doesn't matter what you eat because vegetarians and meat eaters are both welcome at God's table.

(Gospel of Thomas) "What goes into your mouth will not defile you; rather, it's what comes out of your mouth that will defile you."

So true.

Quoted from Patty H

I really think I was lonely and used food as a companion.  

I work at it on a daily basis.  I look at food like currency.  I don't spend my food currency on junk food or food that is bad for me.  

I would rather not eat than eat at a typical fast food restaurant, for instance.  I don't count calories, but I have certainly learned what I can and cannot eat to maintain my weight.

Memorable quotes!  Thank you Patty!

Quoted from Mayflowers

Ha! funny because I would get heavy when I was in a relationship. I'd maintain a low weight when I was single. The only time I maintained a low weight was when I was eating like an A..vegetarian..before M.  

Interesting!  One of my dear friends is like that, too!  Wonder what her bloodtype is    O's are supposed to do strenuous exercise.  That has certainly helped me with my weight while dealing with peri-menopause, but I guess that is not a good option for A's . . .

(Gospel of Thomas) "What goes into your mouth will not defile you; rather, it's what comes out of your mouth that will defile you."

Also Matthew 15:11

I haven't read all of this thread so apologies if this has already been said.

Most of us as we age are not so able to synthesise the amino acid, Taurine, esp those with type O blood.
It then becomes an essential AA.
On a forum for people with atrial fibrillation supplementing with taurine is recommended and I know of several vegetarians who have regained their heart and eye health by doing so - or even by changing to a paleo style diet.
Cats also develop heart and eye problems from lack of taurine in their diet.

Quoted from brinyskysail

I'm not a type O, but I follow a combination of genotype diet (swami) and paleo.  Eliminating all grains has been the best dietary choice I've ever made  No way you could make me go back!

hey there.. can I ask what combo you use of both diets?  I'm interested to find out what folks are doing in the Paleo that maybe their GTD does not recommend or visa versa.. thanks!
