Hello, I'm back again was on a five year break. I had then lost 30lbs and gradually gained all the weight back due to lack of proper diet and exercise. I recently purchased a book called eat right for your type and have been sticking to the guidelines for type O blood type diet. Follow along with me in my journey to a better me and let's encourage each other to be fit and healthy! !!

What are the break downs for blood types?
"Everyone does not have the same basic nutritional needs. We all know someone who is a strict vegetarian and thrives on that diet, while others swear by Atkins or similar low-carb plans. Your nutritional needs can be determined by your blood type. Take a look at the food lists in Eat Right 4 Your Type, they are a guide for choosing the foods that will allow you to lose weight, reduce inflammation, increase energy and lead a longer, healthier life.0 -

Yeah, that's not what I asked. I asked for a break down for each blood type.0 -

Unfortunately there is no scientific support to eating for your blood type for weight loss and health being any more advantageous than just eating correct macro/micro nutrients for your weight, height, age, gender and according to what goals you're trying to achieve. The marketing of this plan is just that......................marketing.

thats it.
i got fat because my blood type and the 3000 calories of food i ate a day weren't in agreement.0 -
Way too complicated for me. Also, I don't like things that tell me I can't have certain foods. I was looking at a chart for this and one of them was avoid monterey jack cheese, avacado, cantaloupe, blackberries, etc. Like... really? I just can't fathom it.
Good luck OP, hope you can stick to it and then not gain it all back again. Seems to me you've picked a pretty hard diet to sustain.... but good luck.0 -

The only one that sounds remotely reasonable is the O type. And even that's a stretch. Type A isn't allowed meat at all.
OP - maybe you should try creating a reasonable deficit and sticking to it? It's gotten me 78 pounds lighter!0 -

I also prefer this method. Lost 58 lbs and I've also lost 23 of the 24.6 lbs of pregnancy weight on top of that. Calorie deficit will always be the winner.0 -

Wow that's an amazing transformation! Definitely keeping my options open.0 -
I actually believe in the diet - and I'll tell you why -- I'm Blood Type AB and it says I shouldn't eat beef, chicken, and pork -- and this explains why anytime I tried the Atkins Diet I could never lose weight. Meat for AB's cause weight gain. It seems like everything they said about AB's was spot on.
I also think this is why some people fair out better with chemo treatment than others - because of their blood type. For instance, type O and B do great with chemo. It explains why my neighbor has done so well with chemo the past 15 years!! She's been battling ovarian cancer that long, but has type O. Her blood type can handle chemo.
