Type As flourish on vegetarian diets Type As are predisposed to heart disease,
cancer, and diabetes. It is particularly important for sensitive Type
As to get their foods in as natural a state as possible: fresh, pure, and organic. When you
get on the Type A Diet, you will
naturally be thinner. If you are accustomed to eating meat, you'll
lose weight rather rapidly in the beginning as you eliminate the toxic foods
from your diet. And when you follow the Type diet, you can supercharge your
immune system and potentially short-circuit the development of life-threatening
diseases.
When
Type As eat meat, they experience sluggishness.
Type As have low stomach-acid content,
therefore they have a hard time digesting
meat. Since Type As eat very little animal protein, nuts
and seeds supply an important protein component. Type As also thrive
on the vegetable proteins found in beans and legumes, except those
mentioned for the "Avoid" list. These beans can cause a decrease in
insulin production, which may cause obesity and diabetes. Tofu
should be a staple in the Type A Diet.
Dairy foods are also poorly
digested by Type As, and can cause metabolic slowdown. Type As can tolerate
small amounts of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, nonfat sour
cream, and cultured dairy products.
Vegetables
are vital to the
Type A Diet, providing minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. Type A are very sensitive
to the lectins in potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, cabbage, tomatoes and peppers.
They aggravate the delicate stomach of Type A. Type A should eat more fruits
that are alkaline, avoid mangoes, papaya and oranges for they are not good for
your digestive tract.
