Egg is not a good idea for smoothies! I felt fine and technically the protein is excellent but the combination is wrong and with fruit is actually toxic to your system. Think of a set of scales - fruit/juices etc (on one side) very good but if you add egg (opposite side) it has a negative effect which means that you have neither added or subtracted anything to your body’s wellbeing - all the good nutrients have had to band together to fight the not nice egg one. That I have a clear understanding of my body and how it’s working means that the food I am putting into my body is almost in perfect balance! Excellent….and really, what would life be like without a little trial and error lol Now the other thing that you guys need to be aware of if you are not sure of your blood type is your (and your families) physical type. For those of you like me who are curvy - you are O and are prone to wet energy and therefore crave carbs (bread, potatoes, pasta, salt etc) but if you have someone like my young one who is a string bean you are looking at a type B who leans towards dry energy and will eat lots and lots of dairy products without any negative side effects and who needs these to balance out their normally dry energy. Don’t just take my word for it though….try it out yourself. When you get up in the morning check in with your body and see how it’s feeling - are you full of energy? are you tired? are you awake before your alarm?….then track your foods all day and whether they are majority wet (dairy) or majority dry (carbs) then check out how you are feeling the next day when you wake up. I swear it works but look at it this way, you have nothing to lose :) I had my chiropractor appointment today and was talking to Jim about eggs and he was like yes but that is only raw egg whites, lightly cook them and they change in vitamins etc again and if you hard fry them in oil they change again! You know, really, I have no idea how normal people like us are suppose to get this whole food thing! Off to a Nutrition talk tonight at the young ones school with a Senior Lecturer in Human Nutrition at the University of Auckland, Medical School who specialises in the role of nutrition and performance in young athletes. Right. Will let you know about it all tomorrow……

Happy thought of the day: Don’t be afraid to try something new
