    Wonders what food I was meant to be eating to lose weight. Probably did it all wrong but with great success.

    It makes no sense. Blood types don't have anything to do with diet.

    Also, according to that person's theory, my blood type is supposed to be good with dairy (and I am), but lots of people with my blood type (B) are lactose intolerant.

    My blood type is also supposed to avoid chicken and I ate lots of chicken when losing weight.

    I don't even know what my blood type is, so this diet is not for me!

    I have been doing Eat Right for my Zodiac Sign. But I'm a Scorpio and chapter 5 of the book says I have to eat scorpions. Are they keto friendly? :o

    Is that the You Are What You Eat diet? :p

    You can find out your blood type with a finger prick. Not a lot of blood required.

    If you ever get caught in a situation where a vein must be found, drink LOTS of water beforehand.

    I think that's where the problem lies... The majority of the blood tests I've had over the years I've had to be fasted for, no food/water beforehand. Prediabetes check, operations etc etc

    I am SO sorry to veer this thread so off topic. I'll shut up now!!

    Oh OP. as everyone else mentioned, the blood type diet is codswallop!

    My mother in law did it. My wife's comment is that she did all the right things and died.

    ... Dont we all? :p

    Exactly my thought, LOL!

    So the idea is, don't bother doing "all the right things" because doing so DOESN'T actually make you immortal?

    As for the blood type thing, wasn't it something about one's ancestry and percentages of blood types being a majority of certain groups and different groups evolved to eat different things and blah? Sort of like Paleo Gone Eugenic?

    I think I tried it with my sister in the 90s...same blood type...she lost 5 lbs. because she liked what we were supposed to eat...I hated it, binged, and gained.

    So Now I 'Eat Right 4 Your Food Preferences!" It is amazing...I should write a book. I could use the extra cash.

    Ha, perfect summary!
