Blood type O friends wanted

I think OP is referring to "Eat Right 4 Your Type" by Peter D'Adamo. There is really no science backing it up. If it makes you feel great, then super! Keep doing it, but know that any benefit you are getting is probably a coincidence.

Hello.
I'm O+ I've heard of people eating for their body type, but I'm not sure I've ever heard of eating for my blood type. I might have to research this.0 -

I'm rather embarassed that I caught that goth/doom metal reference immediately. Mmmmmm, Peter Steele. Mmm, mmm, mmmmmm... Oh, uh, what were we talking about again???
Why are you embarrassed that you know who Type O Negative is?
Okay, not all that embarassed. I distinctly remember being uncharacteristically flustered upon meeting Mr. Steele in person waaaay back in the day. Not being able to form a coherent string of multi-syllabic words to Mr. Steele, who was disarmingly polite and gracious to his fans, *WAS* embarassing. :blushing:0 -

lean, high protein diet apparently. Wow! who would have thought that eating lean meats could contribute to a healthy lifestyle!?
Yep. This diet was all the rage at my work about 10 years ago. It's not that it's unhealthy, it's just unnecessarily restrictive with no really solid backing behind it.0 -
A+, so I guess we can't be friends...
My quick Google search tells me that As "flourish on vegetarian diets." I am a vegetarian. That's all the scientific backing I need.

Yeah I'm interested in it as well. I think as long as it doesn't exclude necessary food groups too much, theres no real harm in trying it on for size and seeing how your body responds to it. I know Miranda Kerr follows the Blood Type diet and said she feels physically a lot better on it. I'd be more interested in how a real life person went with it, though lol.0

Looks like a circulatory horoscope...
But really, if this were true, most of my recent issues wouldn't have occurred... It's kinda funny to me too that it says Os are prone to autoimmune issues like arthritis but recommends running as exercise o_O0 -
I think a better way is to eat everything that is recommended to each blood type. Fish, lean meat, fruit, vegetables, complex carbs, etc. That almost sounds like what is recommended by almost everyone in the business (aka: the logical way to be healthier). Blood type eating is just a gimmick IMO.
Exactly. I'm supposed to avoid meat, but supposedly also am prone to anemia. In the real world, I do tend to be anemic a lot in my blood tests, and I am downright miserable if I don't eat red meat on a fairly regular basis - seems to be the only thing that brings my levels up without supplements. Oops, so much for the vegetarian thing!0 -
idk my blood type but I'm a good friend0
-
I'm O-.
Give blood.
Have two (I think) Type O albums.
But unfortunately I have a basic grasp of nutrition and common sense. So I'm out.0 -
Come on guys. Even vampires need friends..especially friends that put out (blood that is...)0
-
My husband is O-, I'm A+. Do this mean I need to start making seperate meals?. And what does this mean for our kids, how the heck am I supposed to feed them without knowing theiir blood types
Looking at that chart though, does seem to describe the hubby pretty well. He has a super fast metabolisim, and is never sick for more than a 2 days. And running and cycling are his favorite exercises. And he is a pretty good leader0 -
The blood type diet is nonsense.

On a serious note the Blood type diet is a load of nonsense and has no basis in science. Eat at a sensible calorie deficit in moderation and you'll lose weight. There is no need to follow these silly fadsHi I'm looking for blood type O friends. I feel best when I eat for my blood type. I track everything and like to work out. My pms week, every month is still a challenge for me, and some months just seem worse than others. I keep reading up on different suggestions and trying new ideas to cope during that time.
Good luck0 -

I'm AO+
"O" well
You cannot be AO+ ... O means that you have neither A nor B antigens...0 -
I'm O but never knew there was a healthy way to eat based on blood????0
-
Hmm yeah no this couldn't be more wrong for me!0 -

Someone's genotype can be AO, but their phenotype would be A. A and B are dominant over O. A and B are co-dominant with each other:
AA genotype = A phenotype
AO genotype = A phenotype
BB genotype = B phenotype
BO genotype = B phenotype
AB genotype = AB genotype (i.e. both antigens)
OO genotype = O phenotype0 -
I tried this diet but the blood bank wouldn't sell many any blood . . .0

That's because there isn't.0 -

Well, they're playing the odds. In any given group of type O people, some of them will fit this description. Others will want it to fit so they'll focus on the parts that sound like them and gloss over the parts that don't.
They're also playing the odds on what foods will make the most people feel better-- dairy and wheat are common intolerances.0 -
I don't know my blood type, but it wouldn't matter since I eat for my hair colour

I'm blood type O, and yes, I feel much healthier eating for my blood type.0

So, you guys speak any English?0 -
I am O+, have the book, read it and saw myself in it. Need to review it again.0

I'm type O. I eat a lot of Cheerios.Mine is O- and I've never tried to eat for my type. What the heck are we supposed to avoid? Let me guess...carbs?0 -
This thread was surprisingly easy to skim all the posts in all three pages. I have no idea what that means.
