Eating for Blood Type O Positive

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_diet

I'm thinking of using it to spot reduce, think that will work?

I've heard of this too and was told by a doctor that there is actually some merit to it. I'm also O-positive, if I'm not mistaken it says that that type should also NOT eat breakfast if you are trying to reduce weight, and that has been the story of my life, if I eat breakfast I will gain weight very fast. Even if the bfast is healthy. Go figure. I don't do that program though, I do the Paleo diet, which my hubby and i both love. The Paleo Solution book came out a while back and it was the first I'd ever heard of it, now there are lots of books about it, it's also called the Eat-Clean Diet (very similar to the Paleo diet) and at Costco just the other day I bought two cookbooks, Everyday Paleo and Paleo Comfort Foods. There are lots of Paleo recipe websites out there too. It is basically just eating meat/fish, veggies, fruits, nuts, coconut oil and avacados for fats, etc. It's actually quite good!!!!

Does anyone eat according to their blood type? I am O Positive and have read that I should drink green tea instead of coffee. O Positivers are very acidic. But I will miss my coffee so! I have also read that I need to avoid dairy, carbs and gluten. Just wondering if anyone has any input on this ..... I have no health issues and take no medications.

i eat low carb and it works well for me. meat and veggies - yum!

i drink white tea instead of green.

Yah, I do not know ... that's why I made this post to see what has or hasn't worked for others. If you read through everyone's responses you'll hear positive and negative input. I think you just gotta try different things out to see what works for you. Good luck! :-)

Mesmerism worked for some people in the 18th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Mesmer)

As someone posted above, if it gets you to eat well and healthy, at least for that it is a good thing.
But my issue is when these things are proposed as "science" which they clearly are not.

Good luck too!

I'm type red, so .... I eat food.

nope. then I'd be vulcan.

This is very interesting. I went to my holistic doctor two weeks ago and found out that I am anemic again. I am type O+ and the naturopathic doctor in the group pulled out a book about eating healthy for specific blood types. It was the first I had heard of it, but she said I needed to get more beef in my diet, at least 3 to 4 times a week. Now mind you, I'm not talking about grain-fed, shot full of hormones and antibiotics beef that you'd get at the grocery store. That is horrible for you. I'm talking about natural, grass-fed organic beef. I appreciate the links given previously. I'll have to delve into this one.

erm... So when I was anemic and I went to my 'western' Dr. she said - eat more red meat and green leafy foods. Didn't need to look at my blood type or open a book about diets for blood types to know what good sources of iron where for me to eat in order to help restore red blood cells. This is common knowledge for anyone, regardless of blood type.

My body is very acidic and I found out I was a type o. I had tried being a vegetarian and vegan multiple times because I saw the movie "Earthlings" and felt awful about the slaughterhouses but always felt weak and malnourished until I ate meat. I definitely have more energy when I eat red meat and don't drink coffee on a daily basis. Too much caffeine actually caused me to have insomnia, fatigue, dehydration, irregular heart beats, etc. I got allergy tested because I thought I was lactose intolerant and had a gluten allergy because I had stomach problems. I wasn't allergic to them, but the blood type diet makes complete sense to me as everything it says seems to be dead on with how I feel. My stomach realllly doesn't do well with peanut butter either. My mom and sister are type B and they love bread and dairy and actually feel better when they eat it. My mom'a friend had stomach problems and headaches for many months and then found out she was allergic to meat. She was a type A! She now follows the blood type diet and feels so much better. I completely recommend giving it a try before judging it!

This is all I can think of when I hear about eating for blood types.

ZOMBIE THREAD :noway: :laugh: :noway:

idc if this is a zombie thread. I have things for saying.

I've found that eating what I want in moderation within my daily calorie allotment has afforded me most satidfactory results. But if you no longer want you coffee, I will happily take it off your hands.

:alltehcoffeesaremine:

I think this should be called a vampire rising thread. I think that more appropriate then zombie.
