Has anyone tried eating for your blood type? I have done some reading on it and have considered it but was wondering if anyone has ever tried it?

    Eh, I suppose it's right on some things, but I don't base my diet on it.

    I follow the blood type diet for the most part. I definitely can tell the difference when I eat the stuff they say I should avoid. I tend to have tummy troubles, bloating and weight gain. If I follow the rules, then I usually feel better and have less intestinal problems. Of course, just like with anything, you can still gain weight by eating the good stuff if you eat too much of it, too many calories. But overall, I think it has generally improved my health to try to follow it as closely as possible. I am O negative.

    You should be able to find the books - Eat Right For Your Type

    I have the book but I don't follow it. For those of you that don't know there is a book called "eating right for your blood type" and essentially there are foods that your body digests better depending on your blood type. It's funny however because the foods that I'm not supposed to eat (according to the book).. for the most part I don't like.. with the exception of pickles and ketchup.. and I am NOT EVER giving those up... hahaha some of my fav. foods!

    I've been trying to fallow mine, but it's because I'm a type O and I'm a fan of a high protein :happy:

    I am also O neg! I have wanted to try it but I have a hard time figuring out meals cause of work and what not. I eat breakfast and Lunch at work so it is not like I can get up and prepare breakfast every morning. I go to work really early. Any suggestions on what you do since we are both O neg. Thanks :)

    It takes some doing, depends on what you have available at work as far as a microwave, fridge, etc. Considering your schedule, you might find it easier to pack something for yourself the night before. For example if you have a toaster at work, you can toast up some essene bread, a couple hard boiled eggs and a banana or some blueberries. You can portion and pack it up the night before and just grab and go in the morning. I suggest you get the little book "Blood Type O - Food Beverage and Supplement Lists". It's my go-to book when I forget what I should and shouldn't eat.

    I know a few people who follow it and really love it, they say they feel a lot better, less stomach issues, more energy, less of that tired sluggish feeling people sometimes get after eating.

    Sorry folks, no scientific evidence or research supporting this. Just some diet guru's theory.

    If I can find out my blood type I may give it a shot.
    I have been having some tummy issues lately and it wouldnt hurt to see what they say to avoid. .

    Dr. D'Adamo is noted in his field, but what most supports this for me, is that I will go by the scientific evidence of my own body and how I feel when I follow the program and when I don't.

    There are kits you can get or you can get it typed for free by any place that does the blood donation drive. Go donate blood at the Red Cross and they will tell you your blood type.

    Not to be skeptical but when a quick google search only turns up a websites trying to sell books and pills and not real info to even get you started, it sounds like a scam.

    His "field" isn't supported by scientific evidence either.
