Day 31:  Monday, 17th June, 2013.

Well, that is my month on the Blood Group Diet Plan finished.  The time has passed quickly and this blog diary has been invaluable to me in recording my feelings, general health and how the change in eating has affected me both mentally and physically.  I am feeling much more alive, alert and confident.  I have lost over half a stone in weight and have lost inches.  My clothes are definitely looser.  This was not intended to be a weight-loss plan but because the diet is very low in fat and is dairy and red-meat free the daily calories are kept reasonably low.  I have had enough to eat and not felt hungry.  I have been 'peckish' a few times, but have assuaged this by eating soya yogurt, fruit or plain popcorn.

Lunch today was another salad, served with mashed pilchards on rice cakes.

My evening meal was a dish made of onions, celery, carrots and adzuki beans in a spicy sauce (turmeric, cumin and coriander).  I made enough of this to last for two meals, so I have another portion put sway for tomorrow.

This was tasty and filling.  I had some yogurt with pineapple later in the evening.

So, my month is over.  I shall continue on the plan and check in again in a month's time to see how I am progressing.

Day 30:  Sunday, 30th Jun, 2013

Nearly at the end of my month now and feeling the benefits of healthier eating.

Lunch today was a bowl of lettuce from the garden, some pilchards mashed with horseradish and spread on a couple of rice cakes and some sprouted seeds.

Evening meal was roast chicken served with cabbage, carrots and peas.  Not very exciting was pleasant enough.  

Day 29:  Saturday, 15th Jun, 2013

Awoke bright and early and looking forward to the day.  I am still sleeping much better than I had been and sleeping longer too.  I tend not to wake now much before 6.00am.

Lunch today was a Spelt Scone with a little honey and an apple.  Made a nice change from salad.

My evening meal was a bowl of Dove's Farm Brown Rice Pasta, pesto sauce and a serving of Feta style goat's cheese sprinkled on the top.  Again another lovely meal but I could have eaten twice as much.  I was hungry later in the evening so I had a bowl of cereal with soya milk to fill the gaps.

Day 28:  Friday, 14th June, 2013

Decadence!  Had friends round for lunch today and we shared in an orgy of delicious, but healthy eating at a buffet  lunch.  On the menu was: Goat's cheese, Ryvita, rice cakes, peanut butter, salmon and smoked trout pates, mixed salads, asparagus (eaten raw), radishes, chutney, strawberries & an assortment of other fruits.  I had also made some Spelt Scones and a wheat-free Lemon Drizzle Cake.

Had some of the leftovers for my evening meal.  Thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Day 27:  Thursday, 13th June, 2013

Another salad for lunch today, with the usual crispy mixed green leaves and sprouted seeds.

Evening meal was Whitefish, dry-fried and served with Rice & Wild Rice and Spring Greens.

Not very exciting, I must say, but edible.

I have just bought a ceramic frying pan.  It is wonderful as I can cook food without any fat or oil and it doesn't stick at all.  I can see great possibilities for omelettes and stir-frys with this.

Day 26:  Wednesday, 12th June, 2013

Had another Green Salad lunch today.  I also had a large helping of fresh alfalfa sprouts.  I followed this an hour later with a serving of Alpro Soya Yogurt, mixed with chopped pineapple.  Very refreshing. It was a nice change to have something sweet.

Evening meal was a Turkey and Butternut Squash casserole served with garden peas and cabbage.  Very tasty and satisfying.

I have not found the eating plan difficult to maintain.  I have had plenty to eat and have not felt hungry. Still feeling positive and good.

Day 25: Tuesday, 11th June, 2013

Enjoyed a lovely, self-indulgent lunch today of Goats Cheese Salad AND Avocado.  I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though the calorie count was higher than usual for a salad.  Avocados are so deliciously creamy and gorgeous, and together with the salty goat's cheese and the green crispy salad they were a divine combination.

Evening meal was a Chicken Sir Fry, made up of Chicken (of course) home sprouted mung beansprouts, chestnut mushrooms, celery, peas, onions, rice noodles and soy sauce.  This was savoury, crunchy and again, delicious.

I am feeling far more healthy than I have for ages and I have more enthusiasm for life and living.  I know this eating plan is making a real difference.  I still miss black pepper more than anything.  Strange.
