Blood Type Diets
Many years of research by Peter and James D’Adamo have lead to the development of dietary recommendations based on your blood type. In my clinical experience, anyone adopting foods suited to their blood type have experienced significant health improvements, weight regulation and increased energy levels. The results depend on your commitment.

Going Vegetarian or Vegan?
Remember that if you decide to omit animal products (meat, chicken and fish) from your diet, you will need to combine your vegetables in order to consume adequate protein. See below on how to combine foods in order to get sufficient protein in your daily diet. Perhaps read what Dr Mercola has to say about vegetarian/vegan.
For a nutrient-packed drink, try the green smoothie - give it a try: you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Portion sizes
As seen on Sunrise, our portion sizes and allocation of food types may need reviewing. Click here for an example of what your food plate should look like and what foods make up the essential food groups – protein, carbohydrates, good fats and vegetables.
The importance of protein
In order to maintain consistent energy levels throughout the day, you should eat protein at each meal (at least three times daily). Particularly while trying to manage weight, it is important to consume sufficient protein to prevent loss of vital muscle tissue.

Foods that cause health issues
After several years in clinical practice, I have found that two major food groups are consistently related to health and weight management issues: these are wheat and dairy. Unfortunately, these important staples have been so modified over the past 50 years causing health issues for most of us. fortunately, there are a range of options readily available which provide quality nutrients.
Milk is no longer what it used to be. Read about the chemicals found in milk. It is really important to source organic foods whenever possible to avoid the ever increasing contamination from chemicals and other toxins.
Learn how to eliminate wheat from your diet. Just in case you had any doubts about the effects of grains in our diet, please read Dr Mercola’s report.
All too often the result of over-consumption of wheat and gluten, leads to significant digestive inflammation and bowel damage. The prevalence of gluten intolerance is rising with more and more people, especially children, developing gluten intolerance. For a basic list of foods to avoid if you, or a member of your family, are gluten intolerant click here. Read more about which grains contain gluten.
Dr Gluten has an informative website and books offering helpful tips on preparing gluten meals and snacks. Most mums struggle with finding healthy packed lunches for day care and schools. When considering these options, remember to include fresh vegetables, fruit and good protein. Go to www.drgluten.com
The obesity epidemic continues despite massive media promotions for ‘no fat’, ‘no sugar’, ‘Heart Foundation approved tick’. Foods that are often promoted as ‘healthy’ can often be quite the opposite. If I had to give just one recommendation to eating a healthy diet, it would be to eat as natural as possible – organic vegetables and fruit, organic meat and chicken, freshly caught local fish and purified water. Processed foods should be eliminated. Why? Read this article - perhaps it will change your mind.
