You may eat just about all fruits available. Vegetables and fruits are similar in their nutrient content and are our best source of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants. Fruits generally have less minerals and a higher sugar content than vegetables. However, the sugar comes in the form of fructose, which raises blood sugar levels much less rapidly than sucrose – the sugar found in table sugar and refined carbohydrates such as white flour. This is an important difference. Fruit can help maintain balanced energy levels, while refined sugars can make them fluctuate wildly.

If you wish to lose weight eat a piece of fruit 30 minutes before your meals. This practice has been shown to moderate appetite and encourage weight loss. However, if you eat fruit as a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack it is wise to eat some form of protein with it in order to maintain good blood sugar levels. You could have a yogurt, a piece of cheese, or some walnuts. Balancing protein and carbohydrates helps ensure more even blood sugar levels.

Blood Type B

Age 37

The blood type diet has improved a number of health aspects that had been irritating me for years. I now have much better digestion and feel light rather than bloated after meals. I have less fatigue and my energy levels are more constant throughout the day. This diet has also helped me lose some weight. Another slight but nonetheless irritating problem was that I used to spend a good part of the morning blowing my nose. Thankfully I am now rid of my nasal congestion and runny nose.
