I'm also A-plus! And "did well" on Atkins in that I lost weight and was not hungry, but carbs are my one true love.
I just checked -- the Van's Organic waffles are the ones that are vegan. I've also got a waffle recipe that I really like, but it's not too simple -- they're yeasted, so you've got to make the batter the night before and then let it sit. (Which I actually like, because I am so not awake enough to measure ingredients in the morning before I eat.)
I'm looking at ones like this: [link] which seem too simple to work (compared to my non-vegan recipe where you whip the egg whites separately), but that makes me feel like it's worth trying, at least.
Ok, to add to my data point, I'm O and I could more easily drop carbs from my diet than protein. I have never officially done Atkins, but have definitely skewed my diet to more protein.
Type O, and I do not wish to give up either protein or carbs.
That probably doesn't help you.
so, ok, how do I find out my blood type?
O neg, and I usually have success with low carb/high protein diets. But I still love carbs to death. And always go back to them, even though they treat me so badly.
speaking of diets and whatnot. Is there a group of us who are actively trying to not just eat better/be more active, but lose weight and/or size? I am thinking about a group willing to be pretty active with posting/tracking/sharing in a closed group somewhere.
I'd be up for that! I'm going back on high protein/low carb as that works best for me in terms of results (physical and mental). I am ashamed to admit I do not know my blood type off the top of my head.
I think you can get them to tell you your blood type when you give blood, if you're into that. I did it with a kit in middle school lab. So there's a chance I'm wrong, I guess. There wasn't much supervision.
I've never faithfully stuck to a defined diet long enough to tell whether I feel bad on it or not. I try to eat more meat than carbs, but potatoes are my friend. My low-life friend that's fun to be with and gets me in trouble.
Steph, who needs lots of protein but is type A, is not fitting in. Unless she feels really bad when she stops eating carbs, then she fits.
I feel lousy without some carbs. I can't give them up. But I *also* need a lot of protein.
I am your outlier.
yeeeessss dataaaa
We're still at the anecdata stage. But anecdata is fun!
