Blood type diet

urgh calm down everyone :-(

Only fact that makes me puke is, that whatever anyone posts on the boards, it mostly gets torn to pieces, and mostly not in a polite way!

I'm on no ones 'side' here. But it's really no fun reading posts where there's a constant battle. Either you have some good information/opinion to share or discuss or you don't. If the topic bores you or you think it's daft, leave the post for other ppl to talk about.

I just had the urge to say this. Happy posting everyone.

This blood type diet has been proven to be a scam. What would you rather have people do. You want some one to be nice and say, "go for it!" or would you rather them be real. There is nothing worse than someone enabling something stupid or bad habits. The blood type diet is stupid, period.

Why would it be different for women? I ate at mcdonalds today

Although eating that way is not something i would recommend! I wouldn't follow some crazy diet :] Just figure out your macros, and eat what fits

I followed it back a few months ago but to be very specific on things, it was costing me to much so I had to stop. But, when I was on it, I noticed a HUGE difference. I'm AB+ and I still somewhat follow it but not 100%.

I did the blood type diet for the anti-inflammation effects it touted and for me it worked great. I was having horrible allergies and started having to take inhalers because they were getting worse. I was sick of seeing the allopathic doctor because he was only trained to treat me with meds, so I went to a naturalpathic and she started me on the blood type diet (I'm an A) and in 4 days my allergies improved. I was also having liver problems and those went away as well. I stuck with it for about 10 months, lost 100 lbs, had great energy levels and became medically healtier. I haven't done it since then but I try to do an anti inflammatory detox a couple times a year. My favorite being "Clean" by Alejandro Junger.

Good luck to you. I didn't start the blood type diet to lose weight. I need to heal my body and thats what it did for me. I was on my way to killing myself with food

I nearly forgot to mention, my allergies have never returned. Which absolutely amazes me, but what ever it was I'll take it!

I've heard of this, so I googled it a bit to find out more. I'm type O, which is considered to be the "high protein/meat eating" group. The foods they list are foods... I normally eat, naturally.

I really can't speak as for the legitimacy of this diet, especially since Type O is claimed to be the oldest type (but according to testing, type A is supposed to be the oldest). Like any diet out there, it may work for some, may be horrible for others. But I'd personally place as much faith in this diet as I do with my horoscope - none, but good for amusement.

Hi there, I gave the blood type diet a try last year. I'm type A+ so according to the guidelines I should have been eating mainly vegetarian with very little red meat.I stuck to it religiously and was hungry all the time and as I don't like fish, tofu or tempeh my protein choices were limited to say the least.

I gained weight and caught every bug/virus going including whooping cough. (I was vaccinated as a child but immunity is not lifelong and you need a booster) I am now anaemic and have really low Vitamin D levels so my heath ended up being compromised. I'm back to eating red meat and healthy fats and my health is much better. I'm also taking iron tablets and Vit D supplements.

Seriously don't even go there, this diet is total bollocks!

I'm the opposite - I'm vegie and it says I should eat nothing but red meat....so no blood type diet for me! But I've seen it work for others, even if it is a placebo effect, all the reccomended diets on it are healthy and if its what someone needs to hear to get healthy then so be it

Wow I didn't realize that posting on here could be so hazardous lol next time I might just google it and spare myself all the hostility Yikes!

yes you should read the one I posted about this topic!

How did people 100 years ago survive with out this dietary knowledge?

I just don't get it.

they died very young and were often times sickly

I'd be interested to see the scam details??

I followed it for about a year, it really helped my digestion/bloating. But maybe I'm gluten intolerant and that's why it worked, who knows? Even now I go easy on foods that it warned me away from, but that's it. If i stuck to it I wouldn't be able to get all the protein i need (and i'm a pescatarian weight lifter...)
