The best way to follow a healthy diet is to draw on the strengths of your own individual blood chemistry and incorporate foods which are classified as beneficials according to Dr. Peter D'Adamo's Blood Type Diet. In case you are new to this theory, please be aware that there is a lot of information in the Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type section for you to read. Also, please be aware that the training and seminar presentations which are offered through the Centre for Healthy Living are heavily based on Dr. D'Adamo's research; however, we offer a slightly modified version.

A Menu Planner provides a weekly plan with suggested recipes and foods to eat to guide you through the week. Each Menu Planner is matched to a specific blood type. There is a variety of recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks to choose from, all matched to a 30-page Recipe Package. To view the Table of Contents page of the Type O package, please click here.

Whereas some people would choose to more closely follow the Menu Planner which accompanies the Recipe Package others might begin incorporate new recipes into the diet more gradually, choosing what is most appealing and taking into consideration the availability of ingredients and time required to shop for and prepare meals. If you are a beginner in the field of holistic nutrition, which means that you have not been shopping for wheat-free grains or flour, and foods like quinoa, sucanat or stevia are foreign to you, then you may be wise to purchase a Menu Planner Nutritional Consultation package where we counsel you on the phone.

Although we've heard many people comment when they look at their food list, that there is nothing left to eat, the truth is that most people just aren't eating enough of a variety of foods. Part of the challenge is that they haven't been spurred to investigate new foods such as spelt or ezekiel as an alternative to wheat. There are quite a few grains that are unfamiliar to people; however, once you get out and shop at health food stores, it doesn't take long to find these important wheat alternatives that are surprisingly tasty as well as nutritious.

There may be other blood types living under your roof and you are left wondering how difficult it would be to follow the blood type diet. Here's the good news. Many of our Packages  contain recipes which match other  blood types. There are reference notes which point to the substitutions. 

We hope that you are open-minded about trying new foods and recipes. We invite you to take a look at a preview of a few recipes to see what you are buying. Happily, we can tell you that many clients have provided some absolutely wonderful testimonials about the food they've tasted made by Helen Luczak of the Centre for Healthy Living at her Lecture Luncheon events or Eat Right 4 Your Type seminars. Her Simply Delicious & Nutritious Cook Book is also a very popular item. Some of the recipes from the Cook Book have been inserted into the 30-Page Recipe Packages.

Individualized Menu Planners Coming the Spring of 2008: As there are so many reasons why people choose a specific diet, our intention is to develop Menu Planners and Recipe Packages that are geared towards people who have specific goals, eg. for the physically active man in his twenties or perhaps menopausal woman in her 50s. Keep checking for upcoming announcements!

To access the recipes which were featured on the A Channel Morning Show, click here. The dips shown on your left are the Goat Feta-Walnut Dip; Vegetable Nut Pate, and Spinach-Basil Pesto. All of the veggie sticks with the exception of tomato are neutral for all blood types. The spinach-based pesto sauce is lighter and more fresher tasting than a regular pesto and spinach is also a super food.

The Date Walnut Squares were featured on the A Channel Morning Show on Thursday, August 9th. The crust is made with spelt flour, butter and sucanat (dehydrated organic sugar cane juice) and the filling is dates, egg, puffed rice and walnuts. Walnuts are a particularly healthy food for the colon for all blood types. This dessert has been served at numerous Eat Right 4 Your Type seminars. Even people who are not that fond of dates absolutely adore this recipe.
