Introduction
You have purchased this book because you are looking for easy solutions for meals. You want healthy nutritious meals and you want to go about dieting the right way. This book details two unique diet plans that can easily work together. In order for a diet to be a true success you should do a detox to clean out the impurities built up from any unhealthy foods you may have consumed in the past. Eating junk foods clogs the digestive tract and causes us to feel sluggish and lethargic. This gunk needs to be cleared out of the digestive tract and out of the body. A good detox will cleans the body and prepare it for the diet plan you have chosen to try, the blood type diet.
The reason for a good detox is that food actually affects the body's filters, the liver, and the kidneys. If the wrong foods are consumed, they may stop these vital organs from functioning, as they should. Bad foods that affect the kidneys and liver are alcohol, artificial sweeteners, dairy, sugars, wheat that makes processed white flour, trans fats - most anything that comes in a processed convenient package, or also known as junk foods.
You will want to get rid of all the junk foods in your home so you will not be tempted to eat it. It is very important while you go through the detox diet you will want to stay on the diet and not cheat in order for the detox to work right.
To better make the dieting and detox a success it is better to shop for a week at a time. Staying away from the grocery store as much as possible will help if you are tempted to buy the junk food too much. Plan the menu for a week at a time. The recipes within this book make this task very easy with the big variety of choices, especially with the detox diet. Write the grocery list according to the ingredients, focusing on the diet. Stick with the list and bring the food home. Prepare it ahead of time -- wash the fruits and vegetables, using a safe fruit and vegetable wash to clean all residues. This is important for the detox diet. Next, cut and store what you can of the fruits and vegetables, so it will be easy to grab and prepare later.
If you plan to go on the detox diet you will have to give up foods, you may have an addiction to like caffeine. Caffeine is a wicked substance to quit cold turkey, so you will want to wean from it gradually. Try to pick a week or two before you start the actual detox diet. There are two ways to go about it, if you are a coffee or tea drinker. Start by reducing the pot of coffee or tea to 75% with caffeine and 25% decaffeinated. Do these for a couple of days, then reduce it to 50/50. Then reduce it to 25% caffeine and 75% decaffeinated. Then go off completely. Or if you'd rather, start with drinking 2 or 3 drinks a day with full caffeine for a few days. Reduce it to two a day for a week, then one a day for a week. This helps to avoid the withdrawal symptoms of headaches.
If there are other foods you have a great addiction to wean off them too if you think it will be too hard to quit it cold turkey. It is always easier to take care of this before you start the detox diet so you will not have to deal with withdrawal symptoms. Sugary foods are addictive. Some people can stop them without a lot of hassle, but others have a hard time. Do not punish yourself, slowly wean from them first if you must.
One of the best things you can do to prepare your body for the detox diet is to drink a lot of water. If you are giving up caffeine, try to replace your drink with water. Certainly stop drinking the sugared drinks like sodas. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, which will start the cleansing process for you.
You can do other things along with the detox diet to help cleanse the body as a whole. For example, exfoliate the skin with a dry brush a couple of times a week to help get rid of the dead skin and it also promotes better circulation. Use natural and organic products on your skin, or make your own skincare with essential oils like lavender and lemon oil.
Before you start a detox diet see your health care provider for a physical. You want to make sure you are healthy enough to go on a detox diet, especially if you have liver or kidney issues. If you are on prescription medications find out if the diet will be okay while you are taking the medications. Never stop taking these medications without the direction from your physician first.
Consider doing an exercise routine while you are preparing for the detox diet and during it. And certainly exercise is beneficial for doing along with the blood type diet. Our bodies are not meant to be sedentary, but yet many of us live very sedentary lives. It is healthy to get up, move around, and be physically active, unless there is some health issue stopping you from doing that. Ask your health care provider if it is okay to work out with a regular exercise routine as you do these diets.
The detox diet will help to cleanse the impurities out of your body and set the way for a good diet plan like the blood type diet. You will have better success with the diet once the body is cleansed both inside and out. Consider it the beginning of a lifestyle change and choose not to go back to your old way of eating. Choose nutrition and live a better healthier life.
Section 1: Blood Type Diet
How the Blood Type Affects Diet
The blood type diet has gained in popularity over the past two decades since Dr. Peter D'Adamo first came out with his book 4 Blood Types, 4 Diets, Eat Right 4 Your Type. While the existence for the need for such a diet remains controversial, you will find strong advocates for it along with their blood type theories. However, at this point and time, there has been no actual scientific or medical research in depth to prove or disprove the theories that a person should stick with a particular diet based solely on their blood type. You can find plenty of support in the theory, just run an internet search about this and see all the websites that stand behind the theory that each blood type needs a certain type of diet.
Since we are discussing the blood type diet, it helps to know the different blood types. We will touch on different types for introduction purposes. First, the blood type is measured from the antigens, the proteins that exist on red blood cells. The blood types O, A, and B are the most common. When a person is blood type A only the type A antigens
