eating for your blood type

Type A= no meat. No thank you.

No meat? Native Americans were only type A before settlers arrived. The 'no meat' thing wouldn't have worked out very well for hunters and fishermen, lol.

Source? Just asking because I thought it was Type O and I'm curious. PubMed says O, though.

People eat processed food and live to be a hundred- the ones who maintain a normal weight, that is.

If processed foods were bad for you, the FDA would get rid of the bad ones quickly.

Seriously? The FDA doesn't give a **** about us. They care about money.

just for the record, it is NOT my plan to use this system to lose weight, i will still be using calorie tracking to that end, I am talking about cutting out a few items, like dairy, and red meat, on a short term basis. I have recently been noticing that for myself, I have been getting sick more than usual the last little while, and the main idea that I am working on from this dietary regiment is to strengthen my immune system. we don't eat a lot of processed stuff in my household anyway, so no big deal on that score. the main thing will be the dairy, and red meat since they are connected to processes within the body to weaken immune response. I am a born and raised meat-n-potatoes guy, but am becoming more and more aware of how the htings I eat affect my health. I will keep posting to this thread about my progress(or lack thereof) while I am following the system, and you can either follow it, or not, whatever. Everyone of us needs to find our own path, and the foods that work best for us. Maybe I am currently eating in a way that isn't what is best for me, maybe not, but without checking, i'll never know, and for 12 weeks, it can't hurt.......not like supersize me!

just an afterthought for all the people who are claiming "no scientific support" anecdotal evidence of results from a practicing naturopath is a starting point....the accumulation of more data can happen when there is enough anecdotal evidence to support a FUNDED scientific inquiry. Some of the most important discoveries humans have ever made started out as the casual observations of someone in the field, and were met with skepticism in the early going.....just sayin

I'll follow just because I'm interested in hat your results are. However, as a side note, if you are get to g sick from dairy, I'd urge you to look into food intolerance. The only way I found out I was soy and dairy intolerant was to do elimination diets to find the source of my headaches. These elimination diets were done years apart, so first I found out first dairy gives me migraines and then found out soy makes me feel nauseous and run down.

How funny. I am Type A and happened to grow up eating like this without knowing about this diet. I was so strong, felt awesome, and looked dynamite. Then I got married. Making two types of meals became a PITA. So here I am on MFP to lose weight and bring sexy back. I miss the first 30 years of being so healthy!!

I am type A and have almost never eaten meat and have drastically reduced dairy and eggs for a year now. For the first three months of meat free eating, my successful weight loss (from eating under TDEE) stalled, perhaps because I had to ajust to a new way of eating and I struggled to meet my macros.

Elimination was how my wife found out she has a gluten intolerance. But if you do this, only cut out one food group at a time otherwise you will eliminate an unnecessary food group. Its fairly rare to have a meat intolerance. If anything is the issue it would be lactose.

Tw, my wife's family and my family (Irish/English) are meat and potatoes eaters and many lived in their upper 90's. So it cant be too bad.

My knowledge is from so many years ago, lol. Now everyone and their mother has a quote on it But maybe the pre-Columbian South Americans were different than North Americans. I was certainly thinking of NA NAs My mom's blood family is still all type A (me, too).

Blood type diets lack supporting evidence: a systematic review from the American journal of clinical nutrition.

Actually something just came out the other day saying the North American and South American are different groups separated by thousands of years, so that makes sense.

I know I heard that the other day, but I can't find a source for it at the moment, sorry.

Agreed!!!

This thread would have been titles "eat for your hair type," "eat for your pet type," or "eat for your porn type" and the results would be same: ridiculous. Except for that last one...and you know who you are...:bigsmile:

I haven't gone full vampire yet, but when I do I'll be sure to check this book out. Hopefully it'll give tips on how to find the right blood type for me

My mother does this diet. She HAS lost weight, mostly because she's not "allowed" to eat most types of food. Also, she used to be REALLY fat; now she's just fat.

LOL
