hi, charmaine..

reading back on your response to my inquiry, i was wondering isn't corn a vegetable as well similar to baby corn? i read that baby corn is the same as the big one, but was just harvested early.

I am confused. In Phase I, which is better to eat, those with high GI or low GI or no carbohydrates at all. Btw, I am a Type A.

Instead of canned vegetable juice, I tried doing my own vegetable juice at home during weekends. However, I bought some juice to be bought to the office. The brand was Tipco. However when I read the label, it has some fruits on it. Is this ok? Thanks?

thank you for the clarifications, charmaine :)

actually, i found the whole wheat bread mentioned in my session yesterday regarding foods that are allowed for type O.

good to know that i can have baby corn and that it's different from the big one :P

and for the salmon, based on your response, i guess there is a difference between fresh salmon and the smoked version. thank you for the clarification on that. :)

Thank you aninaj! Your feedback is well-received and appreciated.

Regarding the inconsistencies you found:
> avoid ham/pork; however, my meal plans indicate i can have lean ham

- I noticed and I apologize for having this typo error. You can replace lean ham with lean chicken or turkey ham.

> salmon was one of the fish that was supposedly good for me, but not it's in the food to avoid list. it actually says to avoid smoked salmon so i'm not sure if there's a difference with just salmon -- i'm thinking there shouldn't be

- For blood type O, fresh salmon is allowed, but not the smoked one.

> type O apparently cannot tolerate wheat products, but in my meal plan i could consume wheat bread.

- could you specify the occurence in which you saw "wheat bread" in the meal plan? I don't seem to see it in the first weeks of the meal plan.

> it mentions i should avoid corn, but my meal plan consists of baby corns

- For Type O, corn should be avoided, but not baby corn which is a vegetable.

i found some inconsistencies again. in today's session, a summary of foods to avoid was provided. below are some inconsistencies i found:
> avoid ham/pork; however, my meal plans indicate i can have lean ham
> salmon was one of the fish that was supposedly good for me, but not it's in the food to avoid list. it actually says to avoid smoked salmon so i'm not sure if there's a difference with just salmon -- i'm thinking there shouldn't be
>again, the white beans popped up on my to avoid list, but i believe this is already being checked on.
> type O apparently cannot tolerate wheat products, but in my meal plan i could consume wheat bread.
> it mentions i should avoid corn, but my meal plan consists of baby corns

thank you!

@ nynyn612: You'd rather check the glycemic index first in phase 1, and those are not options (too high in sugar). Do as Suzanne and go for nuts instead. :)

I ate nuts or kasuy instead when I'm hungry :)

Thanks Victoria! On my first day, I was hungry at around 10am. Can I eat fruits like banana or grapes? I'm type O. Thanks!
