The diet's been a little on the on and off side. Sadly things have happened to cause setbacks, mainly financial (like only having 20 bucks to buy two weeks worth of groceries. Meeps!). I've been trying to stick with the BTD as much as possible.
A few positives have happened. Just doing a bit has changed alot of my eating habits. For example: when I drink coffee, I don't even like using creamer in it. And the amount of sugar I use has decreased. What would've taken me a month to use a pound of sugar now takes about 3 months. ( I know, still bad.) After this bit of coffee I have to use, I'm going to quit drinking it. I don't do processed foods except once in a blue moon. I can't really stand them most of the time.
I've been taking up walking in the afternoons when I get home from work. I'm trying to build up to running. If I don't don't get my afternoon walk in, I feel cranky.
I've been looking at the other books, like the GTD, but for right now, to get in better eating habits (curse of being a picky eater), I'm going to focus on Live Right for Your Type. But I do have a question about the secretor test. Is the test basically tasting a test strip and if it has a taste, you're a secretor. No taste is non? The reason I'm asking is because in highschool my science teacher made the class try these test strips. You had to taste them. If they had a taste (and it was nasty, like horrible, powdery aspirin), there was a chemical in you. But they had no idea what it was for. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The test strips determine whether you are a taster, super taster, or non taster.
The secretor test involves sending a saliva sample to a lab for analysis. This will determine if you are a secretor or not.
Good job on cutting out some of the sugar and adding the walking. We don't want you cranky, do we? Cutting out the coffee should help you as well, in both physical and financial health... Keep up the good work!
