Proatc, dress up the broccoli soup with chicken broth, maybe some cream, lots of butter and a dash of nutmeg. Nom nom nom!

Hi Yonatan777. Metabolic Type is not written in stone for each person. It is variable for each person to some degree and CAN change with diet alteration, stress, season changes, exercise, and other factors over time. If you are a type O blood type and are hungry for breakfast in the morning, can't skip meals without feeling jittery or foggy, you're probably a protein dominant person and your best choices for meals are good carbs (low glycemic veggies) and proteins with little or no grains, but certainly no refined grains.  How much of what depends on your size and activity level. You CAN also have an aversion to a food that is supposed to "good" for your blood or metabolic type simply because you don't like it for a number of factors (like your mother forced it down you as a kid). Generally speaking, for everyone, avoid all refined carbs, balance good carbs with appropriate proteins according to your blood type, do not consume sodas (diet or otherwise), coffee or black tea, or fruit juices, eat breakfast within one hour or rising in the morning, have three meals a day, drink enough filtered water, and do not eat at least three hours before bed. There you have it in a nutshell (no you can't eat nutshells). There are several good books out there on blood and metabolic type. Good luck.

I think what Dr. Mercola is saying that if you are a protein type (your body needs and thrives on adequate protein), you must be sure to get enough of it. I know I MUST have meat protein every day or I wither! I too love pastas, etc., but my diabetes cannot handle very much of it. (I've just reached my goal weight at TOPS, and the Zone ratios work best for me.) Recently the healthy-heart lecturer Joe Piscatella spoke in my city and he said red meats are GOOD for your heart, but go for the loin and round (leaner) cuts. I'm putting in another posting on broccoli sprouting, which I've done for years.

VedmmaMel, good point. That's one reason why eating organically grown produce is so important. Organic growers use no chemical fertilizers: they build up their soil with compost, including animal manures, so that the nutrition you are expecting - including trace minerals - is in these soils, and thus in the plant. This is not news, it's ancient wisdom, but it's a practice that does not fit the economies of scale of agribiz.
