Food Suggestions
- Many of these recipes can be found in The Energy Cookbook, which is designed for every Blood Type.

- This is NOT a diet with restricted calories it is a healthy eating plan. Feeling hungry sends stress signals to the brain that makes your brain shut down your metabolism!!
- Can you drink coffee and tea? Of course, BUT the only sweetener I recommend is Monk fruit. Need some cream? Use Organic Heavy Whipping Cream.
- Carry a bag of walnuts, almonds, and pecans with you always.
- Eat lots of good fats = avocados, olive oil, nuts, eggs, and olives – 30% of your calories should be from fats.
- Eat lots of fiber. Focus on beans that are on your Highly Beneficial or Neutral Lists, avocados are also high in fiber, chia seeds and lots of veggies.
- Eat proteins that are on your Highly Beneficial or Neutral lists.
- Eat dark chocolate that doesn’t contain soy lecithin.

- Note for O & B Blood Types: yes, you can add grass-fed beef: steaks, hamburgers, and meatballs with gluten-free bread crumbs. OR if you are an A or AB that craves red meat every now and then, you can add beef sparingly.
- What about fruit? Fruit should be limited to only one serving per day as a dessert. Whip up some coconut cream or whipping cream and add to berries.
- Plan for at least 5, one cup servings of vegetables per day. The more the better!
- Alcohol: no-carb distilled spirits = vodka (NOT Titos), tequila and whiskey with flavored soda water and lime or lemon.
- Sea salt and other spices add a punch to most meals. Salt is great for your adrenals.
- Avoid soy sauce.
- Optional: Mix 1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar in 4 – 6 ounces of warm water with 1 tsp. lemon juice and drink before meals for added reduction of glucose levels.
