It can be hard to keep up with dietary belief systems and dietary fads. These change on fairly regular basis with evidence being found to both support and condemn the currently popular diet. My personal opinions is that everyone has a different metabolism and so we should all listen to our own bodies to work out what is or is not good for us. The most popular belief systems currently relate to:
- vegetarianism, which is no meat product that an animal dies to provide
- veganism, which is no animal product at all including eggs and dairy
- raw food, which is as it sounds, nothing cooked, although they do tend to dehydrate a lot of food
- slow cooking, in which food is cooked but very slowly
- gluten free food
The blood type diet
My personal favourite eating system is that developed by Dr Peter D’Adamo. He recommends different foods for different blood and metabolic types. Literally, “one man’s food is another man’s poison”. His eating system includes animal products and cooked meals.
Although most of the foods in this book are fairly neutral and good for most blood types, not all foods are good for all blood types. As an 0+ blood type there are foods in this book are just not good for me, even though they are medicine for an A blood type.
I strongly recommend that you check out the D’Adamo website and check the list of foods that are good for your blood type.

Nourishing Traditions and Weston Price
Another eating system I try to follow where I can is that proposed by Weston Price. It does seem to contradict a little of the D’Adamo system, but maybe not as much as one would think at first glance. Essentially they advocate the eating of nutrient dense food prepared in traditional rather than modern ways.
A good cookbook related to the Weston Price system of eating is Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.
