I'm still waiting for my secretor results.  My specimen left here on June 29th via DHL--I checked yesterday--no available relsuts yet!    Hurry up already!  

There's no choice for AB non-secretor...

Quoted from Diane_Gerencser

If you could choose your blood type (and the food list that goes with it), what would you be?

I could only give 7 options - so AB wasn't broken out into secretor status.  

I just found out I'm an A secretor and I am happy. I am a vegetarian and this is the ideal diet for this type. If I was an A non-secretor all the soy food I eat would only be neutral. As a secretor it is beneficial.

sounds like a perfect match!

I voted for O-Sec .. I am new to this but I think if I had to choose one this is it

The only thing I'd change is secretor status.  I miss sugar....

Quoted from TJ

hmm, I dont miss sugar itself, but it sure would make life easier being able to grab some organic dark chocolate *and a coffee* being a B sec. That is what i would change..oh, and some wheaty french pastries would be pretty awesome also  

it is being an addict of the kitchen that is hardest, esp when out travelling an' workin'. (cause i LOVE prepping my own food, but not always easy or quick when you are *in-a-hurry*)

Ah, chocolate.  I'd gladly trade tomatoes for chocolate!

Quoted from TJ

Ah, chocolate.  I'd gladly trade tomatoes for chocolate!

oh yeah it is the neutrals, I want them all!- mix the B sec and B non neutrals and it is my ideal.. liquor, coffee, chocolate, tomatoes, sugar, plain unbleached flour.. would not shopping and cooking be simpler, cheaper and quicker then?! ho hum.  I am not ungrateful tho,  thankyu for my type and my diet Dr D  

I'm pretty happy with my B-ness. I'm still waiting for my secretor results but have reason to believe I'm a nonnie so, yes, the no sugar is a bummer--but agave syrup and a little ingenuity will save my sweet tooth! And it will be nice to have tomatoes back (not that I ever really let them leave). A little bummed about the no cheddar but Colby's no chump. The downgrade of some beneficials to neutrals kind of stinks too. I've made some of them staples in my diet and now they're just neutral! They'll still work for the family, though, until I convince them to do the secretor test (and my daughter's old enough to be expected to provide controlled spit in a vial). All in all, though, the balanced B is where it's at!

I would  gladly take back wheat and milk products...I think the most I miss is a good bowl of whole wheat speghetti and cheese grated on top of  it!

If you have not determined your GenoType, you might want to determine if you are a teacher.

Teachers get lots of cheeses! Even explorers and warriors get some cheeses.  

Lots of other types of pasta available to those who cannot tolerate wheat. Whole grain spelt pasta tastes a lot like whole wheat pasta for those that can tolerate spelt (It is neutral for As).

Sml, I'm "allergic" to wheat, or at least I have been for years.  After being on the Warrior diet for several months, I tried a little whole wheat wrap and nothing happened.  I've been successfully eating a wrap nearly every day with ZERO side affects that I used to have.  I think the Warrior diet has healed me.  I used to also be allergic to dairy, but being on the GTD and with the addition of ghee into my diet, I can now tolerate a little dairy.  It's worth finding out what your genotype is and seeing if you can have these formerly no-no foods once again.  I'm still in disbelief, but I'm sure lovin' it!

Rib, are you 100 percent compliant?

Very nearly.  I eat probably a little more cashews than allowed, and I eat yogurt almost every day, which I think is more than recommended.  I don't eat any beans at all because they tear up the baby's stomach (I do eat lentils).  I eat a little white  pepper, which I assume to be neutral.  I'd call that pretty compliant.  Oh, and once in a blue moon I'll eat black olives.  That's it.  I think I'm doing very well.  I'd say at least 95% of my diet is diamonds, and the others are beneficial or neutral except the black olives.  I really don't eat hardly any neutrals even.  I tend to forget about them because they're not listed.  Oh yes, and sometimes a little millet slips in when I pop a bite of somebody else's biscuit.

I'm quite happy with being an O, lots of nice yummy fats   though for versatility with what one can 'eat' (not concerning immune system or anything) I'd probably go for a B secretor as they can THRIVE on the widest range of food groups. Lucky buggers, lol.

Me too, it was such a buzz finding out that Warrior could use whole wheat after 6 years eating refined flour, and I am now better than ever.

Jenny, you're able to eat wheat now too?

I always did better on whole wheat. Years ago, I cured my IBS eating
Bran For Life Bread.

Quoted from Ribbit

Jenny, you're able to eat wheat now too?

Ribbit, I never experienced a problem with wheat but dutifully gave up wholewheat on the A diet for many years; now that I am eating it with a clear conscience I am very happy, as I was brought up an an 'Oslo' child (for those who don't remember that was when the notion of wholemeal bread was being promoted over white bread.) The only thing really wrong with my childhood eating was far too much meat--in Australia, post 2nd world war, there was plenty of meat and we had some at every meal.
But I also had homegrown organic food for many years, so I was very fortunate, and very healthy. It's only been in the past 10 years that I have had any health issues, and fortunately, found the BTD and GTD quite soon into that period. So now I am having a 2nd childhood, and as one of my children says, acting like a teenager.(well, not in all ways)

I feel like a child again too in some ways.  I told my parents after I first went on the BTD, "I feel good.  Can you believe it--I feel good!"  My mom said, "You know, I think that's the first time in your life I've ever heard you say you felt good."  I feel better now than I did when I was 6.  Certainly better than when I was 16.

I took Dr. D's advice and I'm eating whole wheat again also..I feel like I'm cheating..   How long does this detoxing go on for? years?
I'm being impatient. Does anyone notice changes on a spiritual level from the diet?

I feel like I care more about people, if that counts.  People don't irritate me as much.  I'd call that "spiritual" kind of.

I'm pretty happy with my B-ness.  All in all, though, the balanced B is where it's at!

I'm suprised more people didn't choose B since we are the most omnivorous. You don't have to give up any entire food group.
