@ ABJoe @ Victoria
Thank you guys A typical day is about (1500 calories)
Breakfast: 2 eggs with parsley (about 1.5 -2 cups parsley with eggs. (Later will add small portion of cottage with pineapple when I start going to gym)
Lunch: 3-4 cups vegetables 100g broccoli, 150g cauliflower, 100g shiitake mushroom. For the sauce either, yogurt pesto or oyster sauce. + 200g lamb (or 250g turkey)
Or (for example) 100g Romaine +50g red kidney beans + 50g beet + 50g cucumber +100g colored bell peppers. + italian dressing or something else light + 200g lamb (or 250g turkey)
Dinner: Banana shake with B-Type protein and milk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I drink herbals, chamomile, coffee, etc no sugar. Only 2-3 packets of sweetener per day.
As per your recommendation, Supplements will be taken as follows: Breakfast: 2 Polyvite & 2 Phytocal Between Breakfast and Lunch: 1 Live Cell Lunch: no supplements Between Lunch and going to gym: 1 Nitrile At gym: water with Proberry – 15-20 drops Bedtime: 2 Polyflora, 2 Deflect, 1 Live Cell
I will start exercising next week, I will have to bring up the calories up to (1800) or so I guess. So to the above food sample, I will add something like cottage cheese with pineapple to breakfast, and 2 bananas (or papaya) for the shake with more milk rather than mix in water.

I am spreading my supplements throughout the day cause I am worried about drug interactions if taken together.

You're getting off to a great start! Good for you!! Many of us did not hear of Dr. D'Adamo's programs until we were in mid-life or later and had already been through major health problems. Starting as a young man to rebuild your health will also rebuild the foundation for your life and give you a chance at having happy and healthy decades ahead of you.
I think you will find that this is a constantly evolving process, regularly fine-tuning your eating and lifestyle as you learn the programs more, learn the signals your body gives you, as you loose weight, as you become more fit. Things will change as you get more healthy. You will be able to tell which foods really support your intentions and which ones are just "fillers". There will be ups and downs, but the more you can be consistent and compliant with your food list, the more benefit you will gain from your efforts. And it is an exciting process!
In the beginning, it may be enough to get strongly grounded in the basics - really learning your SWAMI food list, so that your main foods (meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc) are being chosen from your Superfoods and Diamond Superfoods as much as possible, and eating no Toxins/Avoids. Little by little, you can find ways to drop the Toxins/Avoids that you are eating as condiments, etc. Your tastes will change as the burdens on your body begin to lessen, and you will not have such cravings for things that are really not in your best interests.
Keep referring back to your food lists. Print them out and have copies handy at home and in your car.
Superfoods, especially Diamonds are the ones that will heal and transform your health.
Neutrals function as just food, providing the nutrients inherent in them. They are good choices if you don't have many options or if you get bored (which I never do). Toxins/Avoids are like poison to your body and they bring your health and well-being down. They are counter-productive to your attempts to turn your life around for the better.
I eat mostly from my Superfoods and Diamond category. I use some seasonings (herbs and spices) from the Neutral lists, but don't buy main foods from that list. I don't eat Toxins. Rarely, a couple of times a year, I may eat something from the Black Dot list, if I am traveling, or just eating away from home, and have few options.

Hahaha, you are amazing. Advice taken
I don't know if I can rely on SWAMI at the moment, my inputs could be wrong, especially the measurements and fingerprints. However, I will fine tune it later.
I will not be able to follow the diet without the sauces, and they all have one or two avoids such as soy, soy beans, modified corn syrup. I only use 2-4 tablespoons to make the stir-fry.
Just like you, I also use extra virgin olive oil for both the cooking and as a salad dressing.

When we measured my type B daughter for the Genotype book diet, she was a Gatherer. Later, when she got the SWAMI, she was classified as a Nomad. Her food list changed quite a bit. It was all ok, since she is willing to adapt.
Due to decades of IBS (which I no longer have), my intestines suffered a lot of damage, which reflects into damaged fingerprints. I still have 2 or 3 which are impossible to read. I entered Composite in my SWAMI. When I can, I'll correct it.

My opinion is that it's more important for you to get established in the basics and I will not personally nag you about condiments. You've come a long way already. Just keep on keeping on at whatever level you are able to be successful.

In case I'm busy over on another discussion somewhere, there will be plenty of others who will be happy to support your efforts. It makes us all happy when someone takes their health seriously and takes action to do the right thing by their bodies. Keep posting and let folks get to know you, and be involved in your journey.

Do what makes sense for you. Your body may tell you later to dump those sauces, but if it makes you able to keep "on-track" for now, fine...
Good to hear that you know you've found "the" way to better health.

OK, it does sound like you're getting adequate quantities of vegetables. When you post "stir fry" or "parsley" I have no idea how much food that is; when you say "3-4 cups vegetables" or "1.5 cups parsley" I have a much better idea. I've seen people sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried parsley on some eggs; clearly that wouldn't be enough greens for a meal!
It does sound like you're off to a good start, even though the sauces aren't 100% compliant. That's fine for now, but you may want to try and find alternatives for the long-term; even small amounts of some "avoids" may interfere with your health and/or weight loss. Tamari (naturally brewed soy sauce) is OK on the general B diet, although I don't know how it rates for you on your SWAMI.
Tamari can be used to season dishes directly, and it can be used as an ingredient in homemade teriaki sauce. If you shouldn't have tamari, a homemade version is to use blackstrap molasses and salt as a substitute. I suggest you try to branch out into making your own seasonings at some point in the future.
