That's the theory. I just read what I should and should not be eating....I should give this a try.

its sad, but i don't even know my type and have had a few tests lately but don't remember seeing that on it

i say try it out and see how your body responds.

maybe someone who has experimented with it will chime in

Yeah bro I didn't know it until I went and donated blood and I got a letter saying that I was a+. That's the only reason I know lol

I actually read this blood type diet a long time ago. While I do not believe in the premise or lets just say I am seriously skeptical I will say this. The foods it says I should be eating I do tend to do very well with and the ones it said I should avoid are usually ones I do not do well with. I found that to be pretty darn interesting but still I just cant buy into this whole concept entirely.

[hellomycognomen]

So what's the theory behind this?

No offense but it sounds like complete non-sense to me.

Don't know anything about this either. Actually it's the first I've heard of it. Quick google search:

The Blood Type Diets: Blood Type and Your Health


Edit to add I just saw this part about my blood type. I'm liking this guy already.........not so sure about the "mentally balanced" stuff though....

What Makes Type B Unique

As a Type B, you carry the genetic potential for great malleability and the ability to thrive in changeable conditions. Unlike blood types A and O, which are at opposite ends of every spectrum, your position is fluid, rather than stationary, with the ability to move in either direction along the continuum. It's easy to see how this flexibility served the interests of early Type B's who needed to balance the twin forces of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. At the same time, it can be extremely challenging to balance two poles and Type B's tend to be highly sensitive to the effects of slipping out of balance.

The primary challenges that can get in the way of optimum health for Type B include a tendency to produce higher than normal cortisol levels in situations to stress; sensitivity to the B specific lectins in select foods, resulting in inflammation and greater risk for developing Syndrome X; susceptibility to slow growing, lingering viruses - such as those for MS, CFS, and lupus; and a vulnerability to autoimmune diseases. "If I were to generalize," says Dr. D'Adamo, "I would say that a healthy Type B, living right for his or her own type, tends to have fewer risk factors for disease and tends to be more physically fit and mentally balanced than any of the other blood types." Type B's tended to have a greater ability to adapt to altitude and interestingly, are statistically the tallest of the blood types.

Well I had to look this up also and here is what I came across:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23697707

"No evidence currently exists to validate the purported health benefits of blood type diets."


Here is the full study in pdf:

Sounds like a blood type horoscope! haha.

The stuff they posted for type O seemed spot on for me. Maybe there's something to it?

Type O here as well. Ironically I am being treated for an ulcer ATM, I've had digestive issues since I can remember, asthma since elementary school and that keen sense of fight or flight sense and I have an addictive personality. As adult and After a few visits to hospital, I finally found a doctor who biopsied the lining of my gut and ran special blood tests to learn I have the marker for Crohn's disease and gluten is toxic to my body.

My loving mom feed me milk and cereal every morning in elementary school and pancakes on the weekend smothers in high fructose corn syrup. In 20s into 30s, low fat diet was the mantra for skinny. I was wetted to this for a solid decade...and gained a lot of weight and showed signs of inflammation. (I look like a freaking ballon.)

I joined this site and ate a more balanced diet with lots of lean protein and lower carbs, some healthy fat. Down 30 lbs. Gbrice and another member very helpful in nutrition forum.

Within the last year, much due to a member of this forum , T, started to seriously look at reducing carbs except veggies and replacing with healthy fat. I have lost a solid 10 lbs by reducing carbs and increasing fat. I still struggle with finding information on the % of P/C/F bc eating Fat as a source of energy and very low carbs is not popular.

Do I think there is something to this approach. Absolutely! I am going to buy the book!

Your body can accept my blood type but u might not want it.

Thanks for posting this link Kelkel.

OP. Thanks for posting the thread.

When my life settles down next month, I am going to experiment with the composition of my diet using this approach. Be interesting to see the change in BW and vitals in half year...year.

I am hoping to find better health through food. Sure I like to look nice too (vanity my name is Girly)

[GirlyGymRat]

Also interesting is approach to exercise for different blood types. Seems I need cardio, resistance training,


From link Kelkel posted.

Energize - The Essential Exercise Component

Type O's benefit tremendously from brisk regular exercise that taxes the cardiovascular and muscular skeletal system. But the benefit derived surpasses the goal of physical fitness. Type O also derives the benefit of a well timed chemical release system. The act of physical exercise releases a swarm of neurotransmitter activity that acts as a tonic for the entire system. The Type O who exercises regularly also has a better emotional response. You are more emotionally balanced as a result of well regulated, efficient chemical transport system. More than any other blood type, O's rely on physical exercise to maintain physical health and emotional balance. Dr. D'Adamo suggests that Type O's engage in regular physical activity three to four times per week. For best results, engage in aerobic activity for thirty to forty five minutes at least four times per week. If you are easily bored, choose two or three different exercises and vary your routine.

Exactly what I was thinking.

It sounds like astrology to me. RBC's are all identical and generic (and don't even have a nucleus), apart from their surface markers (of which there are 4 types and the presence or absence of the Rh factor).

It does sound horoscopy to me too. YOU know much more then I do about chemistry and body so I don't know if there is any scientific backing to the eating type.

What I do see is nothing terribly unhealthy in the food choices provided for any types.

[SlimmerMe]

It kinda rings true to me. Meat. Meat. Meat. Brisk regular exercise. Cardio. Bingo.

Blood type diets, I don't believe in them. Some people who have never eaten clean in their life, buy a blood type diet book, then follow it, and see results because they're finally eating better foods, and they think it works, when it's just eating cleaner that's working for them.

Keen observation!

I have mentioned this diet approach to a few of my gf. They all seem to agree with the foods selected for them with the exception of A. Vegetarian is harder to accept when someone loves protein.
