Questions About The Diets

Husband Too Laid Back On Diet

QUESTION

My salesman husband is too laid back on the diet. How can I put back the spark of aggression needed to sell without taking him off the diet?

ANSWER

Although one would question whether aggression is a quality one would wish to engender in another person, perhaps it is time for your husband to ponder a change in vocation?

In general, type O's can do with a dose of anger management skills. In published studies it appears that blood group O individuals tend to be more impacted by 'type A behavior' in particular when it comes to male heart attack patients. (1)

My advice is to make sure that your husband gets adequate aerobic physical activity and perhaps try taking a B-vitamin supplement so as to maximize his protein metabolism.
