Carbaholics Anonymous

I had taken a piece of the fresh bakhlava to eat with my tea when we had the conversation about my blood type, and herbal therapy, which is when she said I have to cut carbs--beh kol. I held my bakhlava away from my mouth as she talked and slowly put it down in a plate...drank my tea by itself and listened to her directions.

Apparently people with "O" blood type have thyroid issues and weight gain problems. Thanks for telling me this information now after all the years that I have worried about my TSH, T3 and T4 levels. Well, not that I could change my blood type but at least I could follow a certain diet for "O" people. Today I googled it and somewhere in the vast amount of information on the Internet, I saw that I am not supposed to cabbage. Thank God I am not Korean b/c I don't really like cabbage, except the red cabbage for salads.

Anyways, for now I refuse to follow up with an MD on my thyroid issue until I find a better alternative way. MDs are overrated.

And I am sorry, I love carbs.
