Information, guidance and support for readers interested in applying the principles of The Blood Type Diet as outlined by The New York Times best-selling author Dr. I am a survivor. I want to explain where I have been the last 1. I’m sorry I haven’t posted here for so long. I thought 5: 2 was a life- changer. Well, yes, it has changed my life. I wasn’t feeling particularly like I needed any other life changers anytime soon but that’s not how life works and this year has been quite a rollercoaster for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
Shall I start at the beginning, or just sum up? To hell with it, if starting at the beginning could save someone else’s life. I’d like to point out at this moment – and before you go jumping to any conclusions – that fasting has had nothing to do with my near death experience! If anything I suspect it may in part have been responsible for my survival. ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has nothing at all to do with fasting, but is the story of my experiences this year. Many of us will have heard the phrase “pulmonary embolism” and know it’s something medical. But how many of us actually know what one is, what causes it, what impact it has and what the odds of survival are? Well, now I do. It started just after Christmas last year, or at least the noticeable signs of it did. The first time it wasn’t too bad. ![]() I woke up and pulled the bed back together – suddenly my heart was racing and I couldn’t breathe. It felt a bit like an asthma attack but the racing heart was new to me. After a few minutes to calm down, I went downstairs to do some more chores – I changed the cat litterbox, or at least I tried to. The same thing happened again. I spent the rest of that day on the sofa, hardly able to talk for lack of breath and with my heart racing (thank you hubs for buying me a lovely Withings Pulse activity tracker. By early evening I was fed up and decided to go to the doctor. This was actually quite tricky as we lived down a lane and had to walk a way to the car – I’d barely even made it down our short hallway to the bathroom during the day. I made it and the doc (not my usual one) told me it was a chest infection and gave me antibiotics. That’s their answer to everything. I remembered that I’d been aware of my heart pounding in my chest (palpitations) for a few weeks on and off, so he also recommended I be tested for a thyroid problem. The next day I wasn’t feeling so bad, and got on with my life. The blood test came back clear and I busied myself preparing for our house move. Then, the bad news started to roll in. Problems with the move. My cat had untreatable cancer. My husband’s job security. Not the best time in my life I have to say. One morning I went to get breakfast and as I came back up the stairs I started to experience odd symptoms. I can’t even recall now in what order they came exactly. I was gasping like a fish and it hurt. I took my dressing gown off. This was just before work so I think it must have been around 9am. I didn’t make it to my desk until almost 1. When I came to, on the floor at the top of the stairs I was shivering – freezing. I pulled my dressing gown back around me and dragged myself to the bed to lay down. A few minutes later as I felt better I went to my desk to get on with work. I gave my mum a ring to tell her about my strange experience. She likened it to panic attacks she used to have in her 3. She told me I looked grey. I said I felt fine, which I did, aside from my racing heart. I rested for a while in the afternoon and later my husband helped me upstairs. He tells me it took me about 2. I had to keep stopping. By the time I got to the top I felt sick again and came over sweaty. He rested me against the toilet in case I was sick and went to get me a glass of water. When the hot flushes passed he helped me get to bed and I spent the evening lying down just trying to breathe. I wasn’t up to cooking and instead he got us a chippie. Most unlike me, I had no appetite at all and barely ate anything. It seemed too much to have to eat AND breathe. I think we debated calling the NHS helpline but decided to wait until morning. Morning came, and with it a resting heart rate of almost 1. It should be 5. 0- 7. I didn’t sleep well and as soon as I woke up I looked up the details of our local walk- in GP as it was a Saturday. Hubs dutifully took me down there and I struggled my way to the car, and then from the car to the hospital. I felt like a 9. 0 year old, I was walking so slowly. Actually I think a 9. My heart did ease off a bit at that point, I guess knowing someone medical was going to check me out calmed my nerves a bit. I told the doctor how I was feeling – the racing heart, how it felt like the physical sensations of. I explained about my current life stresses, but that I had them all in order mentally and wasn’t worried about them really. That might have saved my life too. She couldn’t give me the meds she wanted to because of my asthma. She did however put me on a nebuliser (it didn’t help) and gave me some lovely, lovely sleeping pills. I met a hamster wearing a beret, he was drinking a strawberry milkshake at some posh milkshake bar. He seemed pretty down to earth for such a strange looking fellow in a pretentious establishment. That’s how good the sleeping pills were! Or maybe it was the lack of oxygen. My heart wasn’t quite so racy the next day and I didn’t struggle so much to move around. The doctor was pleased with my progress and left me to get on with life. I dosed myself up nightly on the pills and munched on Rescue Remedy pastilles during the day to calm my . This was the week just prior to our move and let me tell you that packing up to move house when you are seriously ill is not an easy task. I can’t thank my mum enough for coming to help with it. I had to sit to pack, I checked my pulse before and after I did anything, if it was below 1. It was never below 9. It took ages to calm from the usual 1. My husband had to move all four of our fish tanks to their temporary homes with friends and family all by himself, I felt so guilty not helping when at the time we thought it was . We finished packing around midnight before the move and thank goodness we hired a removal firm to do the heavy lifting. Moving day came and went. We got to the new house, we unpacked. There was no internet connection for a week, so. We had new furniture delivered, which the driver needed me to help unload! I went on to assemble it. I wasn’t feeling that much better in terms of strength or. We moved the fish tanks to the new house together and I think this could have been the beginning of the end. I was knackered from moving tanks & heavy pails of water & rocks. I had errands to run so went out to town and rushed around to get everything done. I woke up the next morning with my heart rate sky high again. Oh no. I felt guilty taking a raincheck from our plans with friends that night, it seemed like an excuse rather than a reason. I just wasn’t up to it. I spent the day on the sofa and read about ways to slow your heart rate. That didn’t do anything. I tried breathing techniques. I fussed the purring cat (rest in peace, sweet Phoebe). It was Monday the next day and I decided to go to the doctor as my heart was still racing in excess of 1. I woke up. I called my mum to take me to the doctor as I could barely get downstairs much less walk to the GP surgery 5 minutes away. I think the people who saw us must have thought mum was really poorly. We walked so very, very slowly and even that was difficult. This time the doctor (the third one) got it right. He noted that I could barely get two words out without having to stop to breathe. He listened to my chest, he tapped my back and told me to say “9. An ECG followed and then we were told to go straight to A& E. He said it was faster if we drove than waited for an ambulance. I didn’t really consider at this point just how touch and go this might have been, I was just relieved that something was being done. A& E were waiting for me and saw me immediately. I felt like an awful queue- jumper. Any Brits reading this will know what I mean, we’re nothing if not good at respecting queue order! The day in A& E was a blur of concerned doctors faces, big words, CT scans, X- Rays, horrible amounts of blood tests, injections and ultrasounds. I had a pulmonary embolism – blood clot on the lungs. They considered using a thing called a . In the end they opted to pump me full of anticoagulants and keep me in for the week. I’ve never stayed in hospital before. Time goes so slowly and they feed you too much! Puddings with lunch and dinner. It was delicious and such a treat not to have to cook. I can highly recommend the food at Dorset County Hospital. I was there until the end of the week – went through plenty of tests on a daily basis and woken through the night to check my blood pressure, O2 levels and change my drip etc. They wouldn’t let me walk anywhere, I was wheeled to the toilet and wheeled back to my bed. I left hospital with a bag full of Warfarin (Coumadin) and some Clexane (Heparin) needles along with the expectation of returning to normal the next week now I was treated. How wrong I was. Well, I did get back to my desk the next week and started to catch up with my work but life was, and is, anything but normal. It’s now been almost. I couldn’t fast for months, I could do very little physically for the first few months. People brought me cakes and chocolates. We ate a lot of takeaways and processed food because. I had to cut back on my vegetable intake due to the meds. Life is so very different for me since I survived the PE. One of the most frustrating things is the fact that it is an invisible illness. I look OK from the outside, you wouldn’t know I’m unwell. I can’t even make it back up the hill to my home. I can walk to the doctor now but I have to get a lift back (I don’t drive). I don’t get out a lot. My days are spent working (I manage around 4- 5 hours on a good day), resting (around 3 hours). I don’t have the energy to do much else. If I overdo it one day I pay the price physically the next day – difficulty breathing, chest pains, numb arms, racing heart. It’s not pleasant. The 1. 1 best low- carb diet recipes for weight loss.

There's nothing to say goodbye to, and nothing to long for. It is almost too good to be true! Reviewer: Cathy Nonas. MS, RD, CDE, CDN. Claims: The 5- Factor Diet has shaped some of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities and it will do the same for you. The five- week program reduces hunger and feelings of deprivation. Nutritional Pros and Cons: Although the number five theme is gimmicky, there is no gimmick to the diet plan itself. This is a healthy plan that incorporates all the food categories in appropriate proportions, including plenty of fiber, low- fat protein choices and low- fat dairy suggestions. The exercise is a combination of cardio and strength training and you don’t need any expensive equipment to do it – just some weights and a balance ball. Bottom Line: The 5- Factor Diet is a good, simple idea that sends a healthy message: Eat a variety of foods in appropriate amounts and you’ll lose weight, be healthy and probably get most of the vitamins and nutrients you need from your food. I would recommend this diet. However, with that being said, I have discovered a BETTER program than the 5 FACTOR DIET, and its uses a technique called CALORIE SHIFTING. Since it is quite simple to use, as well as effective, you may find that you make the . You may have noticed several stars going through this diet to get in shae for an upcoming movie, or similar event. The 5 week plan has another advtanged: it's a short- term realistic goal for many dieters who see no end in sight. Those desiring to lose a lot of weight may find that 5 weeks is not long enough. By eating 5 meals a day, this accomplished a couple of important things. First, you are less likely to get hungry between meals. Second, science has continuously backed this principle up in that eating more often increases your metabolism as well as maintain your blood sugar levels. This is key to this diet's success. A typical day might look like this: 8am, 1. While many diets are difficult to prepare quick and tasty foods, the Five Factor Diet does not. Nor do you have to pay for those expensive health foods, and weight loss drinks. Perhaps most importantly is the speed factor: Since I have little time to prepare food in my busy day, the 5 Factor Diet is ideal since most recipes take under 5 minutes. You will see quite a bit difference from low- carb diets, since the 5 Factor Diet focuses instead on high quality carbs, or carbs which have a low- glycemic index or GI). Not only are processed white sugars and white flour/breads some of the highest GI on this scale, but you will find that fruits and other sweet foods can be quite acceptable on this diet. It's also worth nothing that high quality sugars have other benefits such as controlling appetite, sustained energy (as opposed to quick bursts), lower risk of diabetes and heart disease. Whole wheat is much better than white; eat pasta, rice, yams, lima beans or baked potatoes more often than mashed, boiled or instant potatoes. You can download a free printable glycemic index here (in PDF format). Besides eating good carbs, the other points which make up most 5 ingredient meals are: low- fat quality proteinlow- to moderate- glycemic index carbohydratefiberhealthy fatsugar- free beverage (water is perfect here) Amazingly, he even has french toast and pizza recipes. I even have included some 5- ingredient recipes approved for this diet—Click here. As for total caloric intake, try to get a bit under the daily recommended for your body type, weight, and height. The Five Factor Workout. Much like the easting more often rule, working out is the same in that working out less, but more often will keep your metabolism up, and avoid LONG sessions in the gym. So, 2. 5 minutes, 5 days a week is ideal. You will notice it involves a mix of cardio and strength training, as building muscle burns more calories in the long run. An important factor is to keep your routine fresh, and dynamic. So every week, you will want to change the type of exercise (strength training, cardiovascular, core movements), the number of repetitions, sets, resistance level, and rest periods. Here is the key components of an effective workout under his plan: Equipment: Only Dumbbells and a bench required. Phases: (Total 2. Cardio Warm- up. At 6. Strength Training. Each day has two different exercises (superset). Sets, reps and rest are altered each week. This is actually meant to total 1. Core Exercises. This includes various crunches and twists - with varying rep, set, and rest ranges. For 5 minutes. Cardio. The cooldown. Author Pasternak believes this will help alleviated DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). Minimum 5 minutes. Sample workout: Phase 1 (Cardio) Phase 2 (Upper Body Strength) - Flat dumbbell chest press; complete four sets of 2. Phase 3 (Lower Body Strength) - Walk lunge; complete four sets of 2. Phase 4 (Core) - Ball crunches; complete four sets of 2. Phase 5 (Cardio) - Elliptical machine for five minutes; to maximize results in a shorter window of time, complete up to 3. Each workout emphasizes two key muscles and one core muscle. Each day of the week, different muscles are targeted. Every week the number of repetitions, resistance and sets also changes. The 5 Factor Workout Book: Harley does sell a book just for the excercise training aspect called the 5 Factor Workout. Diets suck ! That is, for diets where you have to eat rabbit- food all day, every day. By having a break once a week, you can relax, have fun, and feel you are in control of your life still. On top of that, having a cheat day has shown to speed results up over those who do not have a cheat day. On this cheat day, you can eat whaever you want (don't go balistic here though). Final notes. Perhaps most importantly is the idea that you can actually take this diet and make it into a lifestyle. With cheat days, frequent eating, and healthy, less resrictive foods, I hope you can reach a point where the 5 Factor Diet becomes a way of life, and does not feel like a diet.
