SERIOUSLY?

Okay I started a new way of eating (not calling it a "diet" because those are temporary). It is based on Dr. D'Adamo's book, "Eat Right 4 Your Type."



In the book he breaks down different diets, based upon your blood type. I first read (more like skimmed) over his book around a year or so ago. When a friend's daughter mentioned she was eating "according to her blood type", I remembered the book. So, I thought I'd give it a whirl..

No dairy, no wheat, no corn, no potatoes.. to name the big items.

I was called crazy by one friend and another friend said that when this "way of eating" doesn't work, she'll help me "diet".

I refuse to count every single thing that goes in my mouth! Won't do it.. I won't!
Sorry, excuse that outburst.. . .

So anyway, I loose 4 pounds and I'm feeling awesome. Not only about the weight, but I really feel good. I was trying new recipes, made semi-successful bread (it didn't rise right). Things were going good.
Then I noticed the scales going back up. Just a pound at first, but when I weighed myself this morning.. I'm right back to where I started.

SERIOUSLY?

So I'm opting out of "no dairy" for now and exercising. The dairy was the one thing I was struggling with the most. I'm also considering adding corn back in my diet, as long as it's not the first ingredient. . . .we'll see.

For now, I'm still holding on to hope that this will work at some point. Just waiting for that some point...
