There is not much solid evidence (in my reading) for blood type diets . . . just advocacy from sites that want to sell us something (or simply get clicks on their sites for ad revenue).

My advice would be to eat foods you like that are reasonably nutritious once you add up a day or few, that you enjoy eating, and that add up to the appropriate calorie level for your goals. That'll work fine, I predict.

I ate all kinds of foods that are supposedly harmful for my blood type (AB), but went from class 1 obese to a healthy weight in under a year, have maintained in an healthy weight range for around 7 years since, and all my health markers are in a solidly normal range (including those formerly bad, when I was fat).

Please, consider what you're doing. There is no evidence that blood type influences the kind of food you can eat.

Hey, as a 0 I should be eating lots of meat or protein in general, and eat similar to the paleo diet. Furtermore, the O blood type diet should also be paired with vigorous aerobic exercise,

Ok. Protein does not fill me up at all and is a reflux trigger for me. What fills me up are 'modern' grains like wheat, rice and similar things. I lost the weight I wanted to lose on 50-60% carbs. Also the exercising thing is interesting as vigorous aerobic exercise is something my body can't do due to a medical condition. If I run at walking pace I'm anaerobic already. I still lost the weight I wanted to lose, am otherwise healthy, look about 10 years younger at nearly 49 and am super happy and active.

Why not try to just be happy with what you eat, stay in a moderate calorie deficit and enjoy life as well?

I’ve literally never heard of eating for your blood type…. It sounds like extra work that’s not worth the potential benefits that the internet is telling you.

It's research done by Dr. Peter D'adamo and his father before that. He has chronicled the history and spread of each blood type and the diet/environments that brough on the evolutionary change from the original (O) blood type. Look up the book Eat Right For Your Type. That was his first book. His research and material has evolved over the decades since the release of that book. He has a book on genotypes that is fascinating as well. I tried the O blood type diet about 9 years ago. It wasn't bad. I just wasn't that committed to the idea of never eating bread again lol. Seriously though. Even if you don't follow the diets, the history of blood types is pretty cool.

I'm o- but have a history of kidney issues. High protein and kidney issues usually don't mesh well unless you're on dialysis....I'm not there and probably won't ever be there since I follow a kidney and heart friendly diet now. Eating a blood type diet likely wouldn't have helped me recover the kidney function I have in the last year. Likely it would have made things worse!

Would you mind sharing independent research showing that this works? Thus research not done by those people or their associates? There's masses of research indicating this theory is tosh.

I can't. It doesn't exist, to my knowledge. I never said it works. I just think the history of blood origins is facinating. THAT research, I believe, was conducted doing skeleton DNA sampling on old graves around the world. It's been a long time since I read Dr. D'adamo's books.

I'm B and do well eating most vegetables, some fruit, lean protein, and some grains, mostly corn and rice. I don't believe in blood type diet. My dad is B neg and was told not to eat chicken, which he loves! He does fine eating chicken, but gave it up because of "blood type diet".

I have B- blood, and I just looked up what I'm not supposed to eat. I'm in trouble! I won't have a problem not eating horses or turtles though. Phew!

I am curious though, and will research more. It doesn't seem that crazy that bodies could respond positively or negatively to certain foods based on what kind of blood is running through their veins.

I will say that I've been able to control my weight just fine eating SO MUCH CHICKEN (and most of the other things I'm not supposed to).
