Eat Right For Your BloodType

I only drink Type O negative. All the fashionable vampires are drinking it.

I was on that for years..... Honestly, it was the best diet I was ever on. Full of energy! Great sleep. Everything was great. I am a type A & I basically was a vegetarian, & I love fruits & veggies, but what was good for my blood type was not very common fruits & veggies. It was tough, but I felt great & weight did fall off. What is your blood type?

A+ for the apt meme.

A++++++++ for it being a Sherlock meme

Haha!!

I read that book about 16 years ago when I turned 30. It encouraged me to drink coffee for my type. I went from never drinking coffee to 16 years of excessive coffee drinking bliss:). :drinker:
Truth.

Your blood type has to do with your genetics. We aren't all exactly the same. I think there could be a correlation but haven't research chef it enough

ABO blood type is inherited genetically, but it's about antigens (sugar) on our red blood cells, which has nothing to do with diet. It has no scientific basis.

I took a look at this when it first came out, and although it sounded absurd I decided to try it for a couple of weeks anyway (just because I'm one curious person who wants try out everything, including the absurd). I'm an O type, so I have to be eating a lot of meat. I did that, and for a person who doesn't like meat all that much I felt miserable. Now feelings aside, the aftermath was constipation, cramps, more acne than I had when I was a teenager, and general sluggishness. The weight I lost during those 2 weeks came all back the next week when I stopped the diet. I guess when it works for someone it's because it excludes a few things a person may be mildly allergic to without knowing like some types of added chemicals during processing, that and the glorious placebo effect. Because I went into it knowing it's absurd, I did not get any benefits. It may be dangerous for some though, like an AB type who is lactose intolerant .

Now I have lost more than 80 pounds with my main food staples being the very things this diet claims would make me gain weight: beans, cruciferous vegetables, grains, dairy, eggs, catfish, mushrooms, peanuts and sunflower seeds. My blood tests show a vast improvement in my health markers and I'm feeling better than ever eating mainly what I'm not allowed to eat.

ADHD is mostly a genetic disease with some cases resulting from the mother smoking or drinking alcohol during pregnancy. It has nothing to do with your blood type.

The only dietary changes that have shown some benefit were restricting food coloring and supplementing with free fatty acids.

Apparently, because people with A blood type descended from vegetarian farmers, I should be eating a vegetarian diet, as my ancestors were vegetarian, and eat lots of grains

However, type O blood types are supposed to be descended from hunter-gatherer types and eat lots of lean meat.

Since my mother is a A blood type, and my dad is an O blood type, wouldn't the logic follow that among my ancestors were both vegetarian farmers and hunter-gatherers? Why should I favour the vegetarian ancestors, just because that is the blood type I happened to inherit?
