Eat Right 4 Your Type B - Foods & recipes (Book Review)

Some time ago, a friend decided to eat according to her blood type (B) to see whether it would make a positive change. Ironically however, she might have received the answer by accident. You see, she wanted to switch to her blood type foods as quickly as possible. However, not being one to waste food, she ended up eating almost only the other foods not suited to her blood type as a means of getting rid of them. She wanted to make a clean start after her endless food supplies were done. We soon recognized her oversight when she became so unusually out of sorts after the 5th day. That realization made us more inclined to believe that there is truth in Dr D'Adamo's claims regarding eating foods that he has listed as being most suitable for your blood type.

We are currently using De D'Adamo's list to create unique recipes for her. Below is one that we created. It works well as she has no problem digesting it. It took a little time to get right at first but it produces pink pancakes that are fluffy and delicious. If you have any recipes, preferably vegan and gluten free, please share the link.
