Cognitive Dissonance

I am not surprised by any level of ignorance by dietitians these days. Call themselves a profession, they are avin’ a larf!

Sorry you’re feeling bad about this.

I don’t know enough about the Blood Type Diet to comment. But I did read the book. I’m A+, and apparently I’m supposed to have “a meat-free diet based on fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains.” I knew immediately that this wasn’t for me.

I regard various diet information as a resource. We can check it out and then take it or leave it (or parts of it), just as we do with any opinion, philosophy, etc.

Do you mind me asking how you knew it wasn’t for you?

A+ here also and lived that way for many years, just didn’t suit me.

I know that if I eat fruits, whole grains, and beans (other than perhaps soybeans), my hunger gets out of control and I get fat. So I didn’t see how that could be right for me.
