My husband and I are taking a little holiday in the big city; he had to come in for class and I tagged along. It is our anniversary on the 25th and we can never seem to make time to celebrate and this fit the bill. We do not eat out a whole lot, we never have been. It is expensive and only sometimes is it good. I always walk away thinking I could have done as good at home. Over the years I have created recipes that are my versions of this or that from somewhere we went.
(sorry but that still looks good to me!)
We normally only eat out when we travel and then game on….we eat out a lot! I am proudly turning 39 yrs old this year and my body has changed over the past few years. I have never been one that can eat a lot of meat and that has never changed. My body fights back but I love meat so I force the issue with chicken, fish, pork, and sometimes even red meat. Recently I have decided if I want my body to honor me, I really need to honor it. Anyway, we have eaten out three times since we started this time away from home and I am feeling it.
I shared this with a friend after I returned from our last trip and she thinks it is my blood type. She read a book once that relies on your body type to decide how you should eat and take care of your body. I am A positive and my diet consists of fresh RAW fruits and veggies. It also talks about my sensitive sniffer, my need to hang out in small groups, and negative people really affect my mojo!
I went out today and bought some fresh fruits and veggies for salads and my munchy moments.
very cool – I’ve heard about that book but haven’t picked it up.
me either but the website has me intrigued.
Now THIS is an interesting concept!! I never thought about this before but you know it just might make sense. I’m going to check into this!
i read it years ago…my mom has tons of info on this, and other things (shes a bit of a hippie, organic, health-nut freak..haha). i should re read it all b/c i remember feeling great when i did it. another good read is the book “skinny bitch”.
i’d like to check that out. thanks for sharing. sorry i’ve been away so long. i always enjoy your post when i visit.
being a nutrition nazi, I applaud your resolve and interest in finding the right eating path for your unique dna
I am not convinced about the blood type thing, but I do think that genetically we are somewhat wired to do better with a kind of diet that matches our ancestry, so maybe there is a bit of the blood type issue thrown into that theory –
but the main thing for many women (that good old hormonal system we have got going) is that sugar and refined processed products really mess with the efficiency of our systems and so some (many) of us have to mourn the loss of that comfort food – the upside is when you find your path, you can feel the balance from head to foot, and the weight kind of naturally adjusts
much good luck
i am on the eat right for you blood type diet. it has helped me—i have no doubt about that! i was going through mysterious health problems, and coming across that book at the library was one of the most sigificant things to change my health around.
in fact, it was the subject of my very first post on jorjah-b.
glad you discovered it. i hope it helps you.
