How do I use this table along with the blood type diet plan when buying and cooking food?

For now, I refer to the blood type diet plan to take note of the food that I am allowed to eat then I refer to the table above and select the food under "Good Choice Food" that is appropriate for my blood type. As I am a "newbie"in this blood type diet plan, I try not to eat all the food listed under "Good Choice Food" as some of those listed here are considered "allergens" or ïrritants" to my specific blood type.  

If you have a better advise on how to go along this blood type diet plan, please share your thoughts with me. I will be very grateful to hear from you.

Bye for now...

Love, Light and Good Health!
