I'm O positive. And someone will need to pry the coconut oil out of my cold hands when I die. I firmly believe half (or more) of reason my blood work improved was from the increase in fats which was done mainly through coconut oil. I drink BP coffee daily. I would recommend trying coconut oil again, likely it was coincidence not causation.

I firmly believe that everyone is different. Some do well on low carb, some on high, some need more protein ect. ect. You have to figure which foods work for you and which don't. I do believe everyone benefits from eating whole foods (please remember grains need a ton of processing to eat them.)

I am an A. I was a vegetarian for a while when I was younger. Primal is much better for me. I do eat a lot of vegetables but I really do much better with meat.

I just had a quick look at the description of type a's . The funny thing is that all the other stuff about personally and stress etc is exactly like me! But as I said I think I do better with some beef. Although I don't eat it every day and I don't have excessive quantities. Sugar and starch is definitely a bad thing for me. it is all very interesting.

I really believe that everyone has to find the right thing for them. I was hoping that a pint of hagen daz every day was the right thing for me but darn it it wasn't!! What I thought about last night is that I should go and look at the personality traits of the other groups as if i were in that group. I thought maybe it would be like horoscopes or other fortune telling that make statements that mostly everyone can agree with.

I am O+ also and I do WAY better with weight loss when I use coconut oil/coconut milk in my diet.

Do you normally have carbs with breakfast? If so drinking the BP coffee may have caused a headache from being lower carb than you are used to.

I'm O positive. And someone will need to pry the coconut oil out of my cold hands when I die.

^Same^

O negative here, but yeah, I'm all about the coconut oil!

THIS. I'm O-. A Paleo diet tweaked to suit individual needs seems to make the most sense. Trust me, I've tried just about everything.

I'm not about to even think that the A diet as recommended by Dr. D'Adamo would be beneficial to my Inuit child. His book is like many sources of info; there's some good stuff in there but mostly it's misleading aka wrong (imo). Take the good stuff; leave the rest. Quitting coconut oil isn't on my radar, not ever. There are people who are sensitive to it but I don't think blood type has much to do with what one should eat. We are all human with very little genetic differences. As mentioned, my Inuit child inherited A blood type from a long line of ancestors eating almost no plant foods and zero dairy foods; all fat, organs, bone, blood, meat. It was a marine animal fat based diet predominantly. The complete opposite of the diet that Dr. D'Adamo recommends for type A.

A is a common blood type in my predominantly Inuit community. I can assure you that these people are NOT designed for a carbohydrate based diet nor one low in fat/meat... because that's what they have started doing in the last generation and rates of disease and obesity are suddenly going through the roof! So much so that we have many pilot studies trying to determine what is going on but they won't figure it out because they are asking all the wrong questions under the assumptions that grains, and all plant foods, are just so darn healthy for all humans. Of course the Inuit have also been "educated" on how unhealthy and dangerous the foods that they have survived on for generations are. It's a travesty.

"Then I read that in Japan they segregate people at businesses by their blood type. Like I said it's crazy, how can a blood type determine anything."

I agree, I've lived in Japan for 23 years or so, and people do talk about blood types here now and again, but I have never heard of them segregating by blood type. Not in businesses, anyway. It is more like a horoscope, printed in teen magazines and in columns for the love-lorn Still, ya never know. Some people swear by the zodiac. I am a Taurus--is there a diet for us? Maybe I should be grassfed?

I am O positive, and eat coconut oil daily in coffee and fat bombs. I don't get headaches from it, and actually think it is what helps me lose fat and feel better. Maybe your headache was from the caffeine? Keep giving it a try in other foods before you give up on it. It is so tasty! Try stir frying with it. Good luck.
