Blood Type Diet

I feel... feels. I'm still at work but with the sometimes utilitarian habit that I have of going on the Internet and Googling so much that I should be making a living off of it, I've just realised how wrong I am.

I had a conversation with my diet whisperer/best friend on Whatsapp last night on how I might shed 2 kilograms before the coming holidaze. She suggested that I look into the Blood Type Diet seeing as it's working well enough for her. And so I did about 5 minutes ago and as of this writing, I'm feeling shattered.

This chart tells me I should avoid foods and drinks like cabbage, apple juice, cashew nuts, whole bran, avocados and pork because they act as POISON in a Type O body. I eat a bowl of whole bran for breakfast and fresh cabbage for lunch everyday on weekdays. I thought I was well into incorporating a relatively balanced diet into my life. I feel cheated but worse, I feel lost because it also categorizes peanut butter as deleterious to my body! I'd never even considered ever coming across that word in my life before!

But I do have a penchant for drama and I shouldn't get ahead of myself because like many other diets, this one has its base of critics. Though it's been 20 minutes since the big revelation and my emotions have not improved.

The only thing I'm glad about is that I can still drink my soy milk and not poison myself.
