Blood type diet.

The man that runs our health food store was talking about this a while ago. My husband's shiatsu therapist also has studied it. When you think about it , it makes good sense. I know there is a book written on it and there is stuff on-line too. Research it more if it works for you

I have a friend who tried this and it didn't work. Also, it told her to cut out a lot of lean meat like chicken and pork.

I'm not expert but it sounds ridiculous to me. I don't like any diet that insists you have to exclude any healthy options. Come to think of it I don't like "diets" at all . Seems to me that eating healthy, working out and allowing yourself the occassional indulgence makes the most sense. But that's just my two sense.

Good luck :happy:

There is a book called EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR BODY TYPE.

I have read this book front to back several times. About 5 years ago a co-worker told me about this, it's written by a doctor. I too was skeptical at first. And it's not really a book to lose weight, but by eating right they say that it can be a side efttect. It sounded like a good side effect to mee, so I read the book.

At first my mother told me I was an O+, so I started to eat lots of red meat, etc...I felt like crap!!!!
So, I went to the doc's and had him type me....I AM an A+....the almost exact opposite of an O.

My type is supposed to be a veggitarian with restricted chicken intake, and lots of salmon. I LOVE salmon.

When I was reading all of the foods I should avoid. It clicked I started thinking about all of the foods that made me burp, or have heartburn, or feel bloated. ALL of the foods that make me SICK :sick:
are the exact foods I'm not supposed to have! :laugh:

It took me until now, and gaining 15lbs from not eating right to get FED UP!
I WAS SOOOOO SICK .....OF ALWAYS FEELING SICK. after eating..:mad:

So in January this year, I started to EAT RIGHT for MY BLOOD TYPE AGAIN. I dropped 5lbs.
At this same time I started P90X, I was feeling less bloated so working out was easier for me.

Now I'm down past my first goal and headed to my final goal, 8 lbs away.
NOW I ENJOY MY FOOD! I don't feel crappy any more after eating.
I can sleep through the night without being woken up to HEARTBURN.
My food digest ssooooo much easier.

So, in conclusion losing weight was a side effect for me with this diet.
I REAP the BENIFITS in SOOO MANY OTHER WAYS!!!

READ THE BOOK, then decide if it's something you should try. MINE IS ALWAYS INMY KITCHEN.
Now I have it almost committed to memory and out of habit it gets easier to know what to avoid.
I DONT MISS ANYTHING I'm not supposed to eat.

GOOD LUCK !! :flowerforyou:

Funny, I just picked up this book tonight and read most of it.

The interesting part is the fact that you can test tp see that certain blood types have antigens to some food groups, making a scientific case it seems, as to why some people are sensitive to some foods.

I'm type O and apparently should avoid gluten and dairy. This makes sense as they do affect my digestion and I've benefited in the past going on a gluten free diet, This is not a calorie restrictive diet, just based on what your body "likes" or "doesn't like" so responds with antigens has digestive difficulties. It also mentioned type O often have low Thyroid issues, which I've wondered if I have ad I know my mother did, some foods that type O should avoid apparently interfere the Thyroid hormones and you need to add iodine to the diet.

I'm going to attempt to try it over the next two weeks as the book suggests and see if it works for me.
