Doing my bit for the planet and my waistline.

In my personal quest to follow a more eco conscious path, I’m always trying new things. My latest endeavor focuses on improving my health and reducing my carbon footprint by transitioning to a different way of eating. I’ve always tried to eat what I’d consider to be a “healthy diet” (as little junk food & sugar as possible, organic + locavore choices up and down the food chain, meatless Mondays) … I even tried to follow a raw food diet for a short while, but that wasn’t my cup of tea.

I recently read Eat Right for Your (Blood) Type, and subsequently confirmed that my blood type is A. According to the book, I have what I’m going to call, natural, vegetarian leanings. So just for the fun of Earth Day (the entire month of April), I’m going to take this a little further and arrange meals around my new approach to eating –  Blood Type A meets vegan.

With no dairy, fish and meat on my plate, this more sustainable approach will have less of an impact on the planet, and hopefully more of a positive impact on my body. Who knows, maybe it’ll become second nature, an ongoing way for life:) As always, feel free to jump in …
