OP, have you started any new medication recently? When I was prescribed metformin for insulin resistance, I could no longer eat any type of beef or pork. It would make me so so sick and it was just the way my body reacted to the medication. Also, have you ever had any trouble with IBS? My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with IBS and was told by his doctor to eat yogurt twice a day every day, one of them being first thing in the morning before eating anything else. It has helped him tremendously. I hope you figure out what's going on!

Thanks, last time I took any medicine was 2012. Yoghurt makes me sick.
But still it could be IBS. I mean the provided food in our accommodation is really bad. It's something you wouldn't even feed to a dog. Free food is part of our compensation but I think the company is taking huge lengths to make it as cheap as possible - make us suffer for their own gain.
So I ignored some money lost and bought some oats and corn from the grocery store out of my own money. And it almost cured me overnight.

Well there are people who believe such. Take the Japanese, there are i hear, many who only date/marry based on blood type that coincides with their own. And no i don't think anyone needs as much protein as we've been told however the average die it doesn't provide what humans need most. People could probably live off just vitamins from fruit and minerals. I mean, there have people people in history who just live off their own urine seeing as it provides all the essentials and most cures the body is lacking. But that's something entirely different and i don't wish to derail this thread.

I would suggest to cook your own meals from scratch, who knows what they are feeding you!
That may help.... we don't need to eat that much meat, especially as we grow older. I am 45 and 3 days of the week I eat vegan/vegetarian, then I eat lots of fish and so far I have been able to keep my cholesterol etc. within a healthy range... naturally.

I would have but I don't have a fridge.
About proteins. I have read some time ago, there are actually high-protein non-meat foods, I just forgot what they were but it's there in google. One of them is Tofu, I think...
I would have loved fish too but it isn't served too frequently in the menu in our canteen, and the ones they do serve, sometimes, looks exotic and tastes really weird... I don't eat it because I worry it could be poisonous fish.

I stay away from soy products, too much soy can cause hormonal imbalances but I guess in moderate amounts it should be fine, I just choose not to eat it.
Lots of vegetables and pulses have a high content of proteins (Quinoa, beans, spinach, broccoli,etc), but they are not 'complete' proteins, by that I mean they lack amino acids that dairy, eggs and meat contain. But you don't need every amino acids every day, hence it is very safe to follow a vegan diet for a couple of days a week without having to take any supplements to top up the nutrients a vegan diet lacks.

A+ Blood types should never eat meat, however B types and AB types + O fair better when they supplement their bodies with Protein from meat sources. Yes i know people don't have fangs and their teeth are bent towards eating plants but, they can process meat infinately better than A types which are prone towards plant life.
