The Blood Type Diet Cookbook. Lucy Degremont
higher protein content and an excellent amino acid profile. Soya is a good source of lecithin, which has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and help the liver and gall bladder do their work.
Soya also contains phytoestrogens that exert both a mild estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effect. In other words these compounds have a balancing effect on the hormonal system.
Grains
Cereals, breads and pasta are all made with grains. Type AB have adapted to this food category and you should therefore be able to enjoy them in your daily fare. Just make sure your consumption doesn’t push out the vegetables from your diet. As with all blood types, wheat is to be avoided if you have a weight problem and easy build-up of mucus in the respiratory tract. Vary your grain choices: eat millet, oats, rye, spelt, quinoa, rice and wheat if you can in view of the above considerations. Avoid corn and buckwheat.
If you have blood sugar irregularities in association with weight gain you will need to limit your grain consumption. You may eat sprouted grains as found in Essene bread (also called sprouted wheat bread). Although this is made with wheat, the sprouting process destroys the lectins that should normally be avoided. For more information on Essene bread see page 10.
