\r\n \r\n I do not buy that because there are a number of different tyyping protocols with the A, B, O system being the main one, but there is also positive negative and other factors.\r\n

\r\n \r\n There are also metabolic difference for people in the different blood type group, such as diabetic, candida sufferers, LBS problems. Also, our needs change as we age. Some people are athletic, some have food intolerance. I just don\'t think a diet based upon a general subset of audience is worth considering.

\nHere is the site that delves in to the book "Eat Right for Your Type" and the doctor who started this mess. They have a sample guide for each individualized blood type. https://www.dadamo.com/\r\n

\r\n \r\n The diet seems to work for some. But is it because they "eat right for their type" or is it because it forces them to say no to junk food?\r\n

\r\n \r\n I had a long look at this theory and posted on the blood type diet forums. I didn\'t really launch in and try it too much because I found some information to be contradictory.
\r\n
\r\nThe Blood Type diet was Dr. D\'Adamo\'s first offering. The problem is that he dogmatically identified certain foods as "toxic" for a certain blood type. Then later he came out and said added caveats like, "well, this food is not toxic if you are a \'secretor\' ".
\r\nNow he has introduced a GenoType diet which many think is replacing the Blood Type diet completely. If you go to his website and take the test "which diet is right for you" , whatever you input, it will give you the result "GenoType".
\r\n
\r\nCynically, this is because maybe he wants you to buy his diet software and take various tests (which you have to pay for of course).
\r\nThen again, maybe there\'s something in it. He says certain types need to avoid gluten and dairy. To which I would say, "a lot of people would do better avoiding gluten and dairy!"\r\n

\r\n \r\n Actually, yes! That is what I asked.
\n
\nI eat rice on occasion too.
\n
\nI was trying to not be negative and ask, "You\'re not eating wheat, oats and corn, are you?"
\n
\nI think one of the benefits I got from my vegan days was the elimination of wheat. I\'m eliminating it now and feel much better.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Yes.
\n
\nI sprout the hulled ones to eat like a grain and the unhulled ones to grow buckwheat greens. The greens are amazing liver detoxifiers, but need to be had in moderation because they contain the chemical "fagopyrin", which makes your skin phototoxic (very sensitive to sunlight) if you consume large amounts.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Just like sunflower seeds. Only sprout the hulled ones for 1, maybe 1.5 days. Any longer and they start to oxidize. I soak + sprout the unhulled ones for 2 days, then I grow em on soil to make the amazing sunflower greens.
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n
\r\nSunflower greens are one do the best foods you can possibly eat, they\'re only second to wheatgrass. Lots of amazing nutrients in sunflower greens, they\'re loaded with carotenoids, b vitamins, vitamin c, vitamin e, and lots of minerals like calcium, zinc, copper, magnesium, potassium, selenium, iron, phosphorous, etc, and also lots of enzymes, hormones, oxygen and other rare phytonutrients.

\r\nI juice a big tray of sunflower greens almost everyday.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Why not start today? Procrastination never gets anything done.
\r\n
\r\nIt\'s best to sprout in jars with mesh, or trays, but really you can just sprout in a colander. Technically you can sprout in just about anything, the only issue is drainage. No special equipment needed if you\'re going to try it out small-scale, so why not buy some seed and sprout in a colander? Who knows, it might even be addictive and before you know it you\'ll have dozens of jars + trays going like me. But really, just 4 or 5 large jars is enough to give a normal person lots of sprouts, and it takes almost no effort to maintain just 5 jars.
\r\n
\r\nThen when you get comfortable with it, you can try growing some wheatgrass or other microgreens. Life isn\'t complete until you\'re having a large tray of wheatgrass juice for breakfast every morning.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Yeah, but...
\n
\ngiving it some thought - I have been saving jars - not sure why, tho. Glad I did.
\n
\nMesh. Copper? Stainless?

\nOrganic sprout seeds - I can handle. Planning a store run on Saturday *I am saving on gas, this way - budgetary restraints are killing me!

\r\n \r\n No buts
\r\n
\r\nThe best mesh is actually plastic mesh, because metal eventually rusts. You should be able to buy it at your hardware store, but if not a local nursery should have it.
\r\n
\r\nI do exactly what the girl in the link does (cut out mesh and fasten with rubber bands); sprouting lids are absurdly expensive when you can make your own for mere pennies. The only caveat is that I find alfalfa normally needs 5-6 days to sprout (not 3-4), although it depends on the temperature.
\r\n
\r\nNo. Maybe she was trying to remove the hulls by swishing them around in the water.\r\n

\r\n \r\n I tried that blood type diet and I have the book. I didn\'t really feel that much of a difference, although I did discover that I had a gluten intolerance and so it was helpful for that. I have been to Europe and ate bread and pasta there and had no problem. I think a lot of it has to do with the processing and the chemicals that are sprayed on the crops. And "they" claim they don\'t know what causes cancer or the countless other diseases out there. You don\'t have to be a genious to see the problem. Then again, there are an awful lot of blind people out there.\r\n
