I have to vote AB .I would die without pizza. Peanut's and peanut butter.

I thought the same about pizza until I realized that many commercial pizza makers put corn meal under the crust to keep it from sticking in the oven...  Be vewy caweful!  

O nonnies can eat avocados....case closed.
B's can eat dairy!!!!
A's can be vegetarian. l was before I met the BTD.
AB's have a pretty wide range.
But as an O sec I am grateful for rice, goat cheese, bananas and am starting to love meat.

I chose my own blood type!  I wouldn't want to be anything else ... I'm what I am for a reason and wouldn't want to mess with nature!  

I wouldn't want to be anything other that what I am, either!

I love life as an O nonnie, but I voted B secretor for several reasons.  I love the mind-body connection expressed in Type Bs.  Also, I love the exercise recommendations--hiking and cycling and involving others.  As for food choices, B secretors seem to have a good range of variety in their diet.  Lastly, this line from LR4YT sticks out:  "If I were to generalize, I would say that a healthy Type B, living right for his or her type, tends to have fewer risk factors for disease and tends to be more physically fit and mentally balanced than any of the other blood types" (p.240).

My mother is a blood type B and at 85 is active and bright and has always catered to her diet. She raised her little blood type A daughter (me) to drink milk every day, love cheese, roast beef and potatoes. Surprisingly, I was a healthy kid  generally (maybe a picky eater), thin and bright. Unfortunately, I have psoriatic arthritis and last year at this time had trouble walking and couldn't wring out a cloth .  After being on the BTD I am much better. Cross-country skiid last year (yippee!). I had the most problems after I married an O , who likes to cook. If I was a B , I would probably not have these problems. It is much easier for my mother to eat out and find prepared foods. Life as a B would be easier in this North American society. My husband and mother enjoy eating roast beef together! It is best to be the same blood type as the person who cooks the most for you. Mostly I cook for me (haha).

GillianR,
great to have you on board!

I don't know exactly which blood type I'd choose - but it certainly WOULD NOT be "O"...In this day and age there is hardly a product sold that doesn't have an "O" avoid SOMEWHERE in it!  It is soooo frustrating!!

BTD brings out the cook in each and everyone of us!!

chris b mentioned that hiking and cycling were recommended for B, but I seriously thought that those were recommended for O in the stress protocols, am I right or wrong? did something change? I thought that b was walking and chanting. O's being swimming, running, and cycling.

Os being strenuous exercises......
Bs are great visualizers!

Individuality also counts for excersise....
whatever makes you happy, that s what s right for your type!

As long as the type also gets the recommended amount of their type's exercise as well...( )

Quoted from scout

So I can have peppers and tomatoes and such!  

Ah, I miss those!

Quoted from outdoordrea

Ah, I miss those!

(((((Drea)))))

...and coconut and cottage cheese!  

Just wait, I'll be a secretor    If so, I'll be in good company  

Even though I'm a secretor, and I can't have tomatoes and peppers, I wouldn't have it any other way!

Still waiting for my results!  Yes, I'll be fine, too.  It's just the waiting, of course.

Lola, I soo agree with this.  I am currently in transition and living with family.  My aunt and I discuss the BTD often, and she is amazed at how many foods (not fresh but manufactured) contain ingredients that are not good for anyone.  As I explained to her, the biggest issue with people embracing the BTD is there stubbornness/unwillingness to let get of things that are not good for them.  This is why people have clutter issues (fear of letting go).  What they should realize is another BTDer says, the Diet is not Restrictive but Expansive.  We have such a bounty of foods from which to choose.   My aunt is O+ with a thyroid condition (can't do soy products).  She knows how excited I am about setting up my next space as there will be much cooking going on.  The BTD has made me a better and more conscious cook.  There is so much to learn and have fun experimenting with.

I love being a Blood Type A.  It is what nature intended, and it is not good to try to fool Mother Nature.  Enjoy Your Type!!

clutter issues (fear of letting go) is synonymous of agglutination in a blood test analysis!!!

slow food as opposed to fast food........BTD is the 'mother of the slow food movement'!!
