Eat Right 4 Your Type

[Pelon]

Have any of you guys ever found out what type of blood you have?.

I am a type A, and I would like to know if there are other type A's bodybuilders here that are following any special diet. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I have ever heard that your blood type should be a basis of your decision making in regards to dieting?

[brutesinme]

dude, that eat right for your type is BULLSHIT! He associates the divergence of different blood types with the dominant eating regime at the time of divergance. To this guy (i forget who this is) this is sufficient evidence. Don't eat this way! JMO

[BajanBastard]

IMO total bullshit.

[Pelon]

I think that no two people on the face of the earth are alike, no two people have the same fingerprints, lip prints or voice prints. No two blades o grass or snowflakes are alike. I don't think is logical that people should eat the same foods. Because since each person was housed in a special body with different strengths, weaknesses and nutritional requirements, the only way to maintain health or cure illness was to accomodate to that particular needs.

I agree people have differences and must find their own niche in many a fitness area, however the blood type difference has shown no beneficial proof when it came to eating a certain way.

I also think blood type eating is complete bullshit. offcourse there is genetic differences. Some peoples ancestors where hunter/gatherers that mostly survived on meat and dont tollerate carbs well. Others where farmers for a long time and is customed to high carb consumption.

It seems for instance like asians in general can eat alot more carbs than nordic people without turning fat.

But I dont think bloodtype has anything to do with it.

I read some of the book he is referring .. The Blood Diet ..

Ever heard of " Publish or Perish ? " This is just another way to write a book and be paid for it... Blood type does not have a direct effect on your diet..

I am now writing a book on how the relation to your natural hair color dictates what your body needs to be healthy ... I will let you all know when I get it published and will send all the members of this forum a " Free copy "...

the only thing that I know about eating acording to your blood type is that you have to eat acording to your blood test considering: cholesterol, your t3, t4 levels, your insulin response, glucose absorbtion, and all that sort of stuff thats why some people handle carbs better than others.

Ive got a book that gives some info on eating for blood type, im not qualified to say if it is bullshit or not but am pretty sure a few guys and girls on here are. try it and post your results you never know it might work but it seems a bit unnecassary considering all the info on how to eat right these days. I havent got clue what blood type i am and i dont care. Gud luk on whatever you choose.

[Pelon]

Well, I think is always good to know your blood type, and plus you never know when anyone in your family will ever need a little blood from you. So I think many of you guys the next time you go for a fisical ask your doctor what your blood type is?.

I have found a great book call EAT RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE by
DR. Peter J. D'adamo, the information in the book is so good that now I know why people say you are what you eat.

I would like to found a book about how you can also be a bodybuilder acording to your blood type. If any of you guys know of a book that will talk about diets acording to blood type for bodybuilders, please let me know.

Maybe your right mate, theres a little info in the Manifesto of Mass, dont know if it will help. later mate.

D'adamo's theories have no backing in current scientific literature. His ideas are ludicrous. I have type A blood, so i'm a docile vegetarian? Do you really think there are just 4 types of people out there? Furthermore, he ignores the Rh factor in blood; there are more than 4 blood types.
from veg.ca:

author D'Adamo states that, "...certain beans and legumes, especially lentils and kidney beans, contain lectins that deposit in your muscle tissues, making them more alkaline and less charged for physical activity." (p.53) This is quite a serious scientific charge, and an alarming thought if you are blood Type O. Worrisome statements like these should be backed up with solid scientific evidence - complete with “footnoted” references - which the book repeatedly fails to do

For me what really pushes the "blood type" theory beyond the limits of believability is D’Adamo’s postulation that lectin proteins on some foods cause blood agglutination in people of certain blood types who are "not genetically/evolutionarily suited" to eat those foods. Agglutination is a very serious, and potentially life-threatening, phenomenon, whereby the red cells in the bloodstream stick together, forming irreversible clumps.

What is so bad about little clumps of red blood cells sailing through the bloodstream? Red blood cells deliver oxygen to the cells of vital tissues like the brain, heart and kidneys. To accomplish this delivery, red blood cells must flow through capillaries so narrow that they must line up single file. If the red cells are being agglutinated by lectins or anything else, clumps of red cells will clog up the capillaries and block the blood flow. Thus, the blood stream will be preventedfrom delivering its life-sustaining cargo of oxygen to the tissues served by those capillaries. Cells deprived of oxygen become damaged, and eventually die.

Since most people are unaware of their blood type, it is reasonable to assume that many of us regularly eat the "wrong foods" for our blood type (e.g., Type O eating wheat, Type A eating meat, etc.). Thus, according to D'Adamo's theory, everyone experiences repeated showers of agglutinated red cells throughout their bloodstream, day after day, month after month, year after year. If the capillary beds in your heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, eyes, and other essential organs are subjected to a repeated barrage of agglutinated red cells, they will eventually begin to clog up, resulting in tissue damage. The brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and adrenals would soon be irreparably damaged by these processes, which could prove fatal for millions of people.

Pathologists and other medical scientists would be very familiar with a syndrome of organ failure due to lectin-induced micro-infarctions (cell death). The existence and intricacies of such a widespread disease would be as well-known as is atherosclerosis. Yet, I am aware of no such description in the pathologic literature and no pathologist I know has ever mentioned this as a cause of any disease in humans

i read "the body code" which tells you to eat according to what bodyshape you are. i don't know. it seemed pretty gay to me. these diets arent really for bodybuilders.

[Pelon]

Maybe there is someone in here that has not yet seen this thread, but am sure there has to be a book for bodybuilders diet plans according to blood type that we just don't know about.

haha
they wouldnt accept most of our blood for tranfusion reasons because alot of us are on gear... but regardless id like to keep my high dollar blood flowing in me only

[Giantz11]

.......Waste of time......

[Pelon]

I think we need to heard from someone that knows more about this subject, to really help everyone here to understand how we can all get great results and become bodybuilders with a health diet plan according to your blood type.

[Giantz11]

Ok bro, lets seach the universe for someone just like that. I'll be here waiting. I'm fairly certain people are getting ripped everyday with solid diet and cardio, and I'm gonna guess near 90% don't have a clue as to their blood type, but if this is really important to you, well then I wish you luck on your search for this Blood Type Expert that will come in here and school us all.

[Pelon]

You're right, I hope someone in here will be able to school us all, about blood types diets for bodybuilders.

[Pelon]

Well, We Still Waiting.

[BajanBastard]

Hellooooooo I'm sure G11 put had put an end to this.

[Giants11]

Na bro I think its funny. Pelon somehow thinks a magical blood type expert is going to appear from the sky......Pelon will be waiting while the rest of the baord is getting ripped. Go figure....
