Hm. And here I thought Bob Atkins was dead.

About as dead as your credibility. Say, did you ever look it up after
I showed you that you didn't know what it meant?

I missed the beginning of this conversation but I looked into that book
before doing Atkins and I think it makes perfect scientific sense if you
read it from front to back. I also followed it religiously and lost a
little weight before switching to Atkins. The food allowance is too
structured in my opinion on the ERFYBT book
I am a type 0+ and I just decided that since I am already a meat eater
Atkins might be good. (of course I eat plenty of veggies as well)
I have often thought of switching to ERFYBT after I get to goal. Not going
above my carb limit of course, but adding things like spelt pasta and sweet
potato. Who knows, It's been a while since I have read that book. For now, I
am sticking with Atkins.

just my thoughts.

Please explain what you mean by "perfect scientific sense" as the blood type
diet makes absolutely NO SENSE of any kind to me.

Also, my empirical experience was that it didn't work. I'm an A, but
despite that I do exceedingly well on low carb, while I ended up packing
on the pounds and being tired all the time on the foods that are
recommended in ER4YT for As.

I am no scientist of course, nor am I a doctor. I just thought it made sense
that we started out as meat eaters and type O was the starting blood type.
(if what they say is correct) The second bloodtype started later and ate
grains and veggies primarily, so came blood type A. Then O's and A's started
eating both meat and veggies evolving into new blood types.

It is just my opinion. It makes sense to me. That does not mean it makes
sense to everyone else and I don't know how factual the guys info is so
that's all I have to go off of.

The only reason I looked into this diet was because we went back home after
5 years and had dinner with a friend who was always overweight and had
severe allergy and cholesterol problems. His Doc put him on this diet and
all of his allergies went away as well as his cholesterol lowered and he had
lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks. Obviously that is not as fast as Atkins, but what
is? We all know Atkins is the best.
So I tried it and it worked, slowly but surely. But then I kept meeting
these people who lost massive amounts on Atkins. I met a girl who asked me
to switch to Atkins and we would do it together, so I did and I do not
regret it one bit.

we may not agree and that's ok. But we are on the same page with low carb I
believe.
