    After listening to this video, I think I'll just stick to the blood type diet. It has been working fantastically for me for many, many years. I am never ill in any way. Haven't had to see a doctor in over 25 years since I started really sticking to this diet and no problem with weight either.

    Blood type diet has changed my life. I now only need 5h sleep a night, have no knee joint pain, have sustained energy throughout the day, slimmer than I've ever been.... you're so empowered when you have a compliant food list. You don't get the energy drains. 😊Please research and don't trust newspapers etc that only look at one aspect and make headlines. also see what Dr D'Adamo says in reply to so-called debunkers.

    I am an A blood Type, and have always found that I do feel lethargic after eating meat, and eating a big ole salad or smoothie gives me the most energy, whereas my mom, who is an O blood Type, will eat a steak and then run a mile after, lol. So I definitely resonated with the foundation of this diet and have been trying to do my best to follow it as much I can, because I have seen the repercussions physically when I don't. I appreciate your video! It was well-informed, organized, and easy to follow. I am very interested in taking my diet to the next step and looking into the Swami diet to see if I could add back in some of those foods that the "Blood Type Diet" took out. I know there are a lot of people on here saying it is all fake or not backed by research, but I am a testament of a person that has tried it and has seen positive results, so we just have to find what works for us and make adjustments as necessary. Great video :)

    Im blood type O. Tried this diet many years ago and it was amazing. My blood pressure and cholesterol went way down. For the first time in my life my IBS disappeared. My anxiety too along with my allergies. I became slim and fit and felt brilliant. I slipped off the after about 15 months during a long holiday in Italy and never got back on it. Since then I had a stroke caused by high blood pressure which left my in a wheelchair. My chronic diarrhoea and allergies have returned along with severe central post stroke pain and general stiffness in my joints. I hate getting out of bed and rarely get dressed. I have next to no social life. I really feel I am a waste of space and a burden on my loving family. I’ll be 66 next week and I’m going back to Eat right. I think it will be much easier this time around because there are so many ‘free from’ foods available these days. I’m excited today after reading all these positives comments I believe there might be hope for me yet.

    Hi Ashley - thank you for this amazing video.
    Can I ask - is it possible that you give consultancy 1 on 1 help in order to get the necessary measurements to use the SWAMI X2 software? I purchased licences for it for myself and my family, and I'm struggling to understand how to take the optional/required measurements or what to understand in order to make the right selection first time for each of us.
    Do you know of any consultants you can hire to take the measurements for you even, and fill out the software on your behalf to simply give you the accurate printout per person? This would be incredible!
    Thank you for all you do to help others :) from all the way over in Scotland, UK xx

I used to get a lot of headaches with some migraines and a lot of tummy trouble, by avoiding what I’m supposed to, I rarely suffer from them. I do not follow it religiously but I do as best I can. Thank you doing this video. I feel like I’m the only one who knows about this kind of diet among my friends and family.

    Just in general... Look up the carbon structures of fats. Then consider oxidation of polyunsaturated fats/oils and how the missing carbon allows for oxidation. You're allowing free radicals into your system if oils get rancid. So beware.. would recommend you look for high monounsaturated fat oils in your oil list to cook with. Or cook with stable grass fed butter. Found your vid researching blood type and foods 👍

    Great video Ashley-I’ll definitely check out the website. I’m interested to know what your reasoning for testing this out...weight loss, more energy, digestive issues, etc? You seem very healthy and happy on your current diet. I totally get if it’s just to do more “self-research” on different ways of eating...I do that myself! Also, I assume your “type” may allow animal products, so are you just following the vegan options? Sorry for all the questions...can’t wait for a follow up!

    • @AshleysConsciousLife
      @AshleysConsciousLife  6 років тому +3

      Oh no worries, I welcome the questions.
      Digestive issues mainly, curious if certain foods were just not agreeing with me even though they were "healthy foods". Allergies as well, and if it helped with energy that would be a benefit too! The specific diet recommendations after doing the "Swami" personalized diet online did still give me some dairy options, but I do not eat any of those. ( :

    Personally I have been tested for food intolerances and had to cut a ton of foods out of my diet and your videos helped me a lot when I was first transitioning. However I have recently started to try and eat in a way that is better for me according to my body type and it has made me feel a lot better. So even though I don’t think that this software you used has all the answers it do think that it can make a great difference in how you feel as it is taking the needs of your body according to your body type into consideration. If you keep having digestive issues though I do suggest you do a food intolerance test, even though it costs a bomb.

    Hi Ashley, I am A type positive and followed the blood diet with some success. I got the Genotype book and this confused me. Type A's can be one of 4 types, I appear to be a Warrior, but what confused me was that White mushrooms, Prunes and Mackerel were all beneficial for type A, yet aren't for any of the 4 type A Genotypes? That doesn't make sense! Have you noticed any other inconsistencies too?

This book is called the Genotype Diet. It further breaks down the differences in people (secretor vs non-secretor, length of legs vs trunk of body, fingerprints, sensitivity to coffee, AND blood type (A+ vs A-) ) It's more specific and customized than the original blood type diet. There can be more varieties of foods to eat, more individual to each person.

    Interesting, but I think it would be more simple and precise to order an online kit for testing food sensitivities (different than allergy testing). In depth kits testing all foods including 200 specific fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, meat, dairy, and eggs, and more is around $200. No hopes or assumptions. Or just do a strict elimination diet. In any case, I hope you see good results with your new diet plan and will be interested to hear abt it!

(I'm not sold, as I think food diversification is more important)The diversification alone might out weigh the digestive benefits if you don't have issues to begin with. Like low fod map foods... They help, but there's outside benefits to eating other foods even though the digestion maybe worse. When you start painting yourself into a corner you tend to cause more problems like food allergies and vit or mineral deficiencies. Obv just my opinion. I'm not a Jean-us ;)

      Thanks for your feedback Lindsay, I agree, I am super skeptical about people who sell supplements and give nutritional advice, but I've been researching it for a while and felt it was worth a shot. When I filmed this video, I had only been on the "swami" recommended foods for about a week and it was about a week before that of being on the "a type" diet, so it was such a short period to notice a difference. It's been two weeks now on the swami and I do feel better, could be coincidence, but digestive issues have decreased and so have my allergies. Who knows if it will continue to improve. We shall see. I'm all about learning as much as I can about it, giving it a full shot, and then if it works- great, if not, no worries, go back to what I was doing before. But I agree food should be enjoyable, so I'm trying to make sure and not stress about it all (apparently type A's are higher stress as it is-lol!)
