Q & A Overweight blood type A and O Thanks for a very inspiring, practical and colourful website! I’m 43 years old and had blood tests done recently. My cortisol levels, testosterone, iron/magnesium serum, oestrogen and progesterone levels are extremely low. In actual fact, Ampath couldn’t do a reading for my testosterone, as it was way too low. I am apparently bordering on Adrenal Fatigue (my mom was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease a couple of years ago). My insulin and sugar levels are fine, though. I am also 50 kg overweight with a terrible sweet tooth. I tried the Banting diet, but only managed for about 9 days. It’s not practical for me. The various natural medicines the doctor prescribed are costing me a fortune. This includes iron tablets, Rhodiola tablets, Vit D3 tablets, etc. I was also prescribed daily injections (HCG) to speed up my thyroid for weight loss. I managed to inject myself 4 times only. I don’t see myself living a life of daily injections, just to lose weight. I have done a lot of reading on the Blood Type lifestyle, and have most of Dr D’Adamo’s books, but am not sure whether this is the way to go for me. My mom and I are both blood type O Negative. Any advice, please? Thanking you kindly. https://www.naturefresh.co.za/Article/225
