Could this possibly be true for anyone out there~? I am craving bread right now and it says I need meat, fish, nuts, etc. I skipped lunch today, but I normally do eat a lot of bread but have decreased it tremendously, but every now and then I indulge too much. I guess I am not one for chocolate and would rather have bread.
I don't know how this topic ended up here, but the website I found probably is the reason. I'm wondering if others are craving bread or other carbs and if it is linked with being pre-diabetics or anything~? Thanks.
If you per chance are blood type O it may be due to the need of more tyrosine. The book "Live Right For Your Type" relates cases of vegans who start craving wheat bread (apparently high in tyrosine) because Os need meat... and the red one, which is why I will regretfully never become a vegetarian and much less a vegan, I can't even eat wheat... HTH!
Doesn't matter. The whole blood type food thing is a myth, and the book is science fiction. There's no truth or even a basis for truth in it, so don't worry about it.
I get starch cravings too, usually when my blood sugar takes a dive when I'm hungry. You say you skipped lunch - well that's probably the problem. Your blood sugar probably took a dive, and starch is the quickest way of raising it back up to normal. Moral of the story: if you think you're going to skip lunch, bring a piece of fruit, or a fiber bar, or some peanutbutter and Ritz mini-sandwiches to munch on. A little starch/protein, or sugar/fiber, or protein/sugar - or a little of everything, to keep your blood sugar level even, prevent cravings, and hold you over til suppertime. One of my favorite "no-meal snacks" for days when I know I'll be skipping lunch, is cutting a granny smith apple into wedges and dipping them into peanutbutter.
Since your nickname is "veggienut" I thought you might be vegan or vegetarian, same thing anyway for the purpose of your question.
And don't pay any attention to Anon-Chick, she's just a mainstream minded person who's against almost everything about AltMed and only hangs around here to try to self-righteously "debunk" everything, but IN THIS FORUM we don't care about that, besides she's NOT an authority on anything to decide whether the blood type diet is a myth or not, hers is just AN OPINION like any other, that's all. In any case, you can find out for yourself (once you find out what your blood type is, which everybody should know...).

I am vegetarian, but not vegan. Have been vegan for a short while, but it didn't work out. When I was in Florida earlier this year, I saw a nutrient man who thought I should eat for my blood type, but I don't know it. I called my medical doc and his nurses told me "the cost to check my blood type and I said forget it."

Can't you just go donate blood and have them tell you?
Not a big deal, but good to know. I have never seen anything scientifically backing up different diets based upon blood type though

Around here they give you a donor card, it has your blood type on it.
AnonChick is spot on correct. The only thing the body cares about is the blood sugar level.
