How To Eat Right According To Your Blood Type
He is a believer in the fact that blood types are the most important thing when it comes to our health and well-being and that some food can be harmful for one blood type but helpful for other. Also, he claims that even that the way you exercise can be closely connected with your blood type, or on the other side, your blood type can cause you some illness.
Some experts disagree with this method of nutrition, but since his book was published, the more than 7 million sold copies worldwide speak for themselves.
How Does the Blood Type Diets Works?
D’Adamo’s theory says that each person has its responses to food, which are closely connected with our blood type. He says that lectins (carbohydrate-binding proteins) can correspond to different blood type in a different way. It can be extremely dangerous on your health if certain lectins get in contact with certain blood type.
Dr. D’Adamo closely explains these side-effects and changes in his book, but, his main goal is to analyze which foods are appropriate for each blood type and the amount in which they should be consumed.
The Four Basic Blood Types:
1. BLOOD TYPE A:
Twenty thousand years ago, when agriculture was developing, this blood type had the change of a lifetime. This means that people with blood type A should concentrate on living a vegetarian way of life - this people are also known as “the agrarians”.
2. BLOOD TYPE 0:
Because it’s one of the oldest blood types, dating from more than 30 000 years ago, it requires a protein-filled nutrition, unlike any of the other blood types. The people that are blood type 0 are also known as “the hunters”.
3. BLOOD TYPE B:
The people from this blood type are known as “the nomads” because they possess the quality to be quite adaptable to dairy products and have the most versatile digestive system of all. It first appeared ten thousand years ago.
4. BLOOD TYPE AB:
Since this is the newest blood type, their diet varies between Blood type B and A. Because this blood type is just a thousand years old, the people are called “the enigmas”.
If you do not know your blood type, it can easily be determined for you by your medic or physician.
usefull research seen for the first time
There is whole website devoted and several books written on the subject. Was also some one did a study on how your Ethnic background determined your diet as well. didnt find it as useful. I’m type O and find when i stay to a strict meat diet. my body lvls out to its optimum weight.
informative…i want to learn more about it..my blood group is b+
I would like to know more about the group o+, what diet plan to follow and what exercise or workouts r suited for this group
This appears to have NO SCIENTIFIC stands…. no research, no experiments. The mere fact that it tries to make a claim via copies sold says a lot. Copies sold should make absolutely no difference, as the science should stand true even if not a single person bought the book. Also there is that ‘believer’ word, which shouldn’t exist in ANY scientific paper.
I am a chronic anaemic, and A+ , if I lived on veges alone, I would need transfusions every couple of weeks instead of every couple of months. Just goes to prove, you cant believe everything you read, especially on the internet!
Timos: Yes, it does, if you read the references at the back of the book. I’m tired of people saying this. It does have science to back it up. And it’s been around since the mid-90s. You also have to read about the people who have succeeded with it. To just throw out that it has no scientific stands is bullshit. Read the book, check out the references, and visit the site before you make statements like you have. That isn’t scientific, either.
Timos, If you actually take the time to read more about this diet you will find that there has been research done on different blood types. Quite extensive research! That is how they found that different blood clots after eating different foods. They found this to be consistent with different blood types hence the blood type diet. There are consistent patterns found with the different blood types. So I urge you to read and investigate MORE than just this article because there is a lot more to this subject!
WELL PUT…EASY TO UNDERSTAND… ACCEPT… AND PUT INTO ACTION

For now, my weight is 86kilos. Hoping you could give me nice advice regarding my concern. Thank you so much.
Hi my bloody type is AB- … Im really curious….
I actually went and had my blood tested for allergens - I have B+ bloodtype.
This is what the test said: Pork and Turkey were good…whereas I should only eat chicken in moderation.
I am moderate with wheat and gluten but should avoid all barley and malt. Oats are very good for me.
I should avoid almonds, eggs, cottage cheese and most cheeses except Swiss and Cheddar and I think goat’s cheese. i should avoid all milk.
The test goes into more details but I don’t have it in front of me.
My hubby is AB+ and he has to avoid all wheat products, all dairy and eggs and almonds.
Not sure how all of THAT compares to this supposed ‘eat right for your type’ thing.
We had the allergy tests done through Life Extension. When we follow THEIR allergen recommendations we lose weight and all our skin issues go away.
