The best way to benefit from the Blood Type Diet is to acquire recipes for your blood type which include the foods you love.  Dr. Peter D'Adamo recommends eating more beneficial and super beneficial foods than neutral foods although the latter are important for variety. We recommend that you acquire our six-page food list that groups the beneficials separate from the neutrals for comparison. Not all of the avoid foods are equal in terms of compromising one's immunity. Since the red flag avoid foods such as wheat and corn cause more digestive-immune system problems it's best to begin there and do your best to completely avoid them.

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.

Depending upon your culinary skills and how much time you want to spend in the kitchen, people either prepare simple meals or if they have a favourite dish, gradually over time begin to search out ingredients which can replace the avoids. Either way, we applaud people's efforts. We also extend a helping hand by offering a 30-Page Recipe package which includes a variety of dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks which is why every Recipe Package we sell comes with a matching Menu Planner (as shown above).

The Recipe Packages may be devoted to one blood type; however, quite often they contain recipes which will match other blood types as well and that is because some of them originated from Helen Luczak's Simply Delicious & Nutritious Cook Book For example, the Type O or A Recipe Package, contains recipes which match both blood types and this is a good thing since most people are Type O or A. Same thing applies with Type B & AB where there are similarities such as the cultured dairy foods like kefir and yogurt. The remaining recipes either contain ingredients that are particularly beneficial for one blood type, like miso for Type A or beef for Type O, or the recipe remains basically intact with the occasional substitution.

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. This is how some people decided to be daring enough to try making their own recipes and when wanting a "sure thing" have opted to purchase either the Simply Delicious & Nutritious Cook Book or the individual Recipe Packages.

There are two ways of obtaining our 30-page Recipe Packages. First of all, you can click on our Menu Planner Options page to read the descriptions of our Basic and Deluxe Menu Planner & Recipe Packages (there are four of them) OR you can go to our Eat Right 4 Your Type page to be introduced to  The Blood Type Diet Collection CDs. These four CDs are not audio CDs rather Data CDs meaning that they contain PDF documents on disk. When you put the CD into your computer, you can open up the Menu Planner & Recipe Package folder and find the documents that you can either read on the computer or print off in hard copy.

We believe that you will be happy with either product. For comparative purposes, we can tell you that the CD contains 200 pages of documents so there is great value there. The very affordable Menu Planner & Recipe Packages can be purchased either in hard copy or sent via email. Your questions are welcome at:  helen@waytogonutrition.com.

In addition to the Blood Type Diet, we are working on Menu Planners and Recipes for our Live Enzyme Cuisine section. This refers to preparing food which has not had its most valuable nutrient, the food enzymes, destroyed by cooking. The latter will be of interest to vegans and raw foodists and just generally open-minded people who are wanting to get energized. We also adhere to the principles embraced by holistic culinary experts including food rotation, acid/alkaline balance, and food combining.

Our good neighbours to the south, please visit our Welcome America page where you can download some sample pages AND shop, taking advantage of some special pricing for the holidays.

Individualized Menu Planners Coming this Spring 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.
