But…WAIT it can be a trap for too many of us trying to be fit. All of our
good intentions to lose weight and keep fit get trashed on special
occasions like Christmas.
Curling up in bed seems more attractive than exercise. But do you want
to go on feeling like that until the New Year? Do those mouth watering
cakes provide just too much temptation?
So before you start, REMEMBER!!! You are in control of what you put in
your mouth. Take control before you have given it up!
Visualize yourself eating slowly, taking small portions, enjoying the food
more and eating less.
Give yourself 10-20 minutes to write down how good you will feel when
you eat in moderation, as compared with how disgusting it feels after you
have over indulged.
Write down how you want to feel. For example, you want to feel energetic,
not dazed; confident and look good, not embarrassed by your body.
List what you have been eating and consider your plan for moderation.
Create an exercise plan for those challenging days.

Drink Water!
Keep drinking water all throughout the day. And then another glass. Water is a
natural diuretic and thus a fantastic way to wash away toxins and prevent fluid
retention. You could start by drinking warm water with lemon. Warm water is less
shocking to your system and the citric acid jumpstarts your digestion.

Good luck. Remember to enjoy the Holidays. Remember, the more you take
control, the more you will enjoy the season celebrations!

Blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease,
longevity, physical vitality and emotional strength. Blood type determines
your susceptibility to illness, which foods you should eat and how you should
exercise. It is a factor in your energy levels, the efficiency with which you burn
calories, your emotional response to stress and perhaps even your personality.
The connection between blood type and diet may sound radical, but it is not.
There had to be a reason why there were so many paradoxes in dietary studies
and disease survival. There also had to be an explanation for why some people
were able to lose weight on particular diets, while others were not; why some
people retained vitality late into life, while others deteriorated mentally and
physically.
The understanding of blood type takes the science of genetics one step further by
stating that every human being is utterly unique. There is no right or wrong
lifestyle or diet; there are only right or wrong choices to be made based on our
individual genetic codes.
If you follow your Blood Type Plan regime carefully, you can:
SUMMARY
The concept to "Eat Right For Your Type" - or "Blood Type Diet " is based on research
conducted by Peter D'Adamo, ND, who claims that people fare better including with weight
management when tailoring their diet to their specific blood types. He advises:
Type A types - Should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat).
- They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune
system, and should not consume dairy products, animal fats and
meats.
- They are at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes
and cancer.
Type B types - Should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish,
dairy, meat, but avoid chicken).
- They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming everyday
types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Type AB types - should consume mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare
occasions some fish, meat (no chicken), and dairy
Type O types - should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat),
low carbs, and enriched with fruits and vegetables.
- They should limit the intake of wheat germ, whole wheat products,
corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts.
- Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high
stomach acid (leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater
resistance to blood clotting.
