So, I got my latest issue of First for womens mag, and there is a section about eating right for your blood types. I'm A+ so i'm supposed to eat nuts, loads of fruits and veggies, and only some meat like chicken.
It says Dr. Oz endorses it, but I have no cule who he is, other than a face on a magazine.
After reading the artical, I'm a bit curious to try it. Sound smuch better than HCG and healtier too.
Has anyone heard of this or tried it?

Its basically BS.0

I've heard about but don't really know anything about it or know anyone who has tried it. I'd be interested to hear what other people have to say.0

Haven't heard of the diet, but I do know of Dr. Oz.
He comes on TV all the time and was first endorsed by Oprah, kinda like Dr. Phil was and then got his own show. Dr. Oz covers a lot of different medical topics on his shows especially eating right and being healthy. He is ok to watch, but he just seems to repeat himself and can be pretty generic at times in my opinion.
A lot of people love him and swear by him, for example, my grandmother and older stepfather.0 -
I have a book on it and I do believe it, when I read it I couldn't believe how close it was to me. Foods that bother me and it says my blood type requires hard exercise. I believe that too because I am a stressed person and do have anxiety so the hard exercise helps with that.
Its true!!!0 -

It seems so silly to me. Really? Different blood types have to eat different things? How does blood type effect personality or weight loss? Sounds about as scientific as astrology. I'm a Taurus so I should eat nuts...0

Unless you take into account that Dr. Phil is not a doctor in any way, shape, or form and Dr. Oz is an M.D.. Dr. Oz is generic on TV because he's speaking for everyone without knowing medical history. I take his "advice" with a grain of salt, but it's sometimes a great starting point for conversations with my own doctor.0 -

the artical shows different blood types, o, a, ab, and b
it just reads that when hunters started to grow crops, the blood changed to help digest everything. I'm a so i can digest nuts and veggies better than meat, and it is true. i have real problems with meat, even chicken. It doesnt have to do with signs. Im capricorn and that doesnt have anything to do with it, just your blood type.0 -

It's designed on the genetic evolution of the different blood types -- from hunter/gatherer to agrian [sic] to nomadic, etc. The book doesn't address blood types affecting personality as much as how certain foods react chemically (positively and negatively) in our bodies. People don't necessarily HAVE to eat different things, but certain foods may be better for some blood types compared to others.0 -
A friend introduced me to this a couple of years ago and I loved it. HOWEVER, like any food plan, it may not be for everybody.
What I liked about it was that many of the foods I usually don't like ended up being foods that my body does not react well to chemically. Foods are usually divided one of three ways -- beneficial (acts like a medicine), neutral (acts like food), and non-beneficial (acts as a poison). You're recommended to eat correct portion sizes of foods in the first two categories and little to none of the third. And what I love most about the book and food plan is that it is not designed for weight loss in mind it's --it is designed with optimum health in mind, which weight loss is a component of.
The doctor that researched and wrote the book also includes a genetic history of each blood type, recommendations for nutrition supplement groups, and exercise recommendations.0 -

It is Hog wash. I followed this plan as an A+ which basically recommends a vegetarian eating plan with limited amounts of chicken and fish.
I ended up being anemic, no energy, and ended up being worse off than I originally was.
At the biological root, we are all the same. That doctor was just looking to make a quick buck.0 -
eat right 4 your type has been out for years... way before Doctor Oz even lol0
-
A lot of my coworkers were oohing and ahhing over this book for a while... it does seem like a bunch of BS to me. I haven't read the book, and I don't know specifics, but I just don't understand how knowing your blood type can make a difference. Years and years ago people didn't know their blood type and they all at the same thing. haha.0
-
I prefer rolling dice to determine my special type. I just rolled a 4 and a 5. That means that I'm "super cool" and should drink more water.0
-
Dr. Oz has some good advice but has also endorsed really stupid diet schemes as well.0
-
I asked a registered dietician about this diet, she said there is not enough evidence based studies to substantiate the claims. The only thing that benefits from this diet is the wallet of the so called expert author!0
-
The diet uses "4" instead of "for," that should tell you something.0
-
OMG! It is spelled Article, not Artical.
*edited to remove wording that would get me in trouble. LOL

All you need to know about this diet is that it is wrong in terms of when each blood type evolved which means that the entire evolutionary basis of the diet is wrong. As someone said above, it is just like astrology - people who see a lot of themselves in their type are more likely to actually follow it to begin with and since they start off believing in it then they're highly likely to see good results due to the placebo effect. The people who try it and don't get on with it aren't likely to broadcast the fact because they either feel stupid for believing in it in the first place or feel bad about failing at another diet which just leaves the people who do feel better on it who actually talk about it. Add in the fact that each of the diets cuts out one or more of the more common food intolerances, if you do have a food intolerance then you have a one in four (or more due to overlap) chance of the diet actually working for you because you have stopped eating something you have an intolerance to.0
