      Um, back to the Blood Type Diet, I'm B-. I've made this joke a bunch of times now, but the description of the Type B diet always sounds to me like they think we are Dothrakis (or maybe just riding across the steppes).

      Me too! And I donate so frequently, consider it made up for.

      I don't know what the diet reccommends for us, but my diet includes loads of salmon, cashews, pop tarts and string cheese. Am I doing it right?

      I prefer the astrology diet. The blood type diet has me eating things that I don't like and in some cases digest poorly. At least the astrology diet tells me as per my sign I should do my own thing.

      For your entertainment:
      Type AB reflects the mixed inheritance of their A and B genes. According to Dr. D’Adamo, “Type AB has Type A’s low stomach acid, however, they also have Type B’s adaptation to meats. Therefore, you lack enough stomach acid to metabolize them efficiently and the meat you eat tends to get stored as fat. Because type AB has both the A and the B blood type antigens, foods that contain chemicals called lectins are more likely to react with the tissues and cells of type AB than any of the other blood types.

      Type AB should avoid caffeine and alcohol, especially when you’re in stressful situations. Dr. D’Adamo recommends that Type AB focus on foods such as tofu, seafood, dairy and green vegetables if you are trying to lose weight. “Avoid all smoked or cured meats. These foods can cause stomach cancer in people with low levels of stomach acid,” recommends Dr. D’Adamo. There is a wide variety of seafood for Type AB, and it is an excellent source of protein for Type AB. A few highly beneficial fish are mahi-mahi, red snapper, salmon, sardines, and tuna.. Some dairy is also beneficial for Type AB – especially cultured dairy such as Yogurt and kefir.

      Dr. D’Adamo also recommends smaller, more frequent meals, as they will counteract digestive problems caused by inadequate stomach acid and peptic enzymes. “Your stomach initiates the digestive process with a combination of digestive secretions, and the muscular contractions that mix food with them. When you have low levels of digestive secretions, food tends to stay in the stomach longer.” Explains D’Adamo. He also suggests that Type AB pay attention to combining certain foods. For example, you’ll digest and metabolize foods more efficiently if you avoid eating starches and proteins in the same meal.

      Well, at least when someone sees you digging into a jar of peanut butter with a spoon, you could just tell them you're not being gluttonous, your're simply eating for your blood type.

      Well, if it works for you...I gave up on these types of diets years ago and I lost weight and got a healthy lifestyle the old fashioned way - eat at a calorie deficit and exercise. I am now trying to build my strength, and I'm basing that on legit info and not Bro Science.

      With the exception of one or two people the old CICO method works for the vast majority - not sexy, or cool, but it works anything else - imho - is just helping someone sell books.
