Hi everybody,
All my life I struggled with my weigth. When I was young I ate lots of sugary things. Simply because there weren’t enough “sweet” things in my life.
Slowly I gained weigth. What I did then was to go on a diet.
I can diet fairly easy. Lots of disciplin and a goal and then it wasn’t too difficult.
After that I started eating normally again, including the sweet and sugary things.
Then I gained weigth again. And started dieting again.
That wasn’t good for my body at all of course.
I had to fill my body and my life with other things. With love and understanding and knowledge about what was driving me.
That happened when I started with Astrology. I learned who I was and why I was here on this earth. I also learned to love myself more and more.
But still I had too much weigth.
It wasn’t until 2007 that I found a way to loose weigth in a more easy and healthy way.
I started with the bloodtype diet. Contrary to what the name suggests, it isn’t a diet at all.
It simply is eating what is right for your bloodtype. The Canadian doctor Peter D’Adamo is the founder of this diet. You can read all about it here. There is a large community with members that are willing to help you. The book is called “Eat right for your type”. It is originally from 1997 and is available in multiple languages.
I started following this bloodtype diet and without hunger, just by eating the right things I lost 22 pounds. Then it stopped. I was really happy with this, but I still had too much weigth.
I went on eating according to the bloodtype diet and a few years later started with the genotype diet from the same doctor Adamo. The genotype diet is even more detailed than the bloodtype diet. It is based on your dna and your genes. I felt so much better through all of this. I decided to let my weigth for what is was and accepted the overweigth.
If you have too much weigth it isn’t a simple thing. There are many things that contribute to your weigth.
I am very sensitive and I knew that the overweigthย that I had was there, because I felt I needed that protection from the outside world.
In time however I became stronger. And this year, 2015, I felt that it was time to let go of the rest of the overweigth. But how to accomplish that?
I decided that I had to eat more vegetables and less carbs. But I don’t really like vegetables. So how could I do that?
I bought a blender and started to put my vegetables in it with some water. That way I could drink the vegatables. It is a great solution.
My goal is to loose 40 pounds. I don’t know if I can do that and if that is good for me. On the way I will see how it goes. So far I lost 8 pounds and I feel great.
I notice that when I eat less I feel so much better. It isn’t that I ate large quantities, but simply 2 slices of bread less can do the trick already. I want to loose a pound a week. Not more because then afterwards it will be back in ย no time.
I also stopped eating salt. For years now I slept badly and sometimes lay awake for hours.
Since I stopped eating salt I sleep very well. It was really an eyeopener and I can hardly believe it, but apparently salt can have that effect. At least on me.
I have given myself until my birthday in september and I hope by then to have the weigth that I want.
I keep you all posted. ๐
Spirituality is a big part of my life. I am an astrologer too and I always look behind the things. Furthermore I am very connected with nature and with Mother Earth. It is important that we take good care of her!

Keep going Johanna and listen to you body. I learned that your 6th sense and instinct make most decisions. I don’t have serious weight problems but would like to know whether these kinds of diets help with stomach and digestive problems. I once had food poisoning and ever since stomach problems. However I wish good luck in achieving your goal.
Thanks! I am sure the bloodtype diet could help you. Just buy the book and try it out. it did me a world of good. Good luck! ๐
By September 2015 I have lost 24 pounds. I am now around 160 pounds. (am 1.72 meter)
I still want to lose another 10 pounds, but for the moment my motivation is a bit low, so I go on eating according to the Bloodtype Diet and in time maybe I can lose those extra 10 pounds. ๐
Hi Johanna
I’ve been following blood type diet for 2-3 years now and love it! Found out I’m a non-secretor which made a huge difference (type A) and also I’m Rh- which makes a diff too, so I’m learning, learning all the time still. Plus I’m still detoxing! I’ve changed my whole lifestyle now so I dont eat late at night, and boy, has that brought on a huge detox episode, but I keep going!
I guess 160 pounds (1.72 meter) is a little on the heavy side by sound of it, but keep going! Don’t give up! Think positive and you will learn new tips and tricks on how to do it as you go along I’m sure.

She was not walking with cruthes after a year had many allergies milk cream cheese lots of dairy and other things she changed in her diet. She is much healthier for it.
