I'm interested to hear from people who have/had been able to either lose weight or maintain their weight by eating foods that are 'good' for their blood type.
I know there are books that talk about eating certain foods and avoiding certain foods for your blood type.
Thanks :D
Hi Jodi
Do you know what blood type you are? I am an A bloood type (only found out when I was pg actually) I do not know alot about it so far as dieting is concerned but I know for example that A blood types require less-to-no red meat whatsoever whereas O blood types are natural meat eaters and require it in their diet. As you said there would be a wealth of info in books and on the net. I was a vegetarian for years, and could easily go vego again, so it was not so much as a surprise to me to find out a couple of years ago that I was an A blood type as I could easily go without meat. All the best and I think there is some credit to eating according to your blood type.
oh, I just found this thread, I was thinking of trying this as well. I just found out that as a blood type A I should eat vegetarian... funnily enough I usually prefer vegetarian food. So I am going to reduce the meat I eat and see how this goes.
Anyone else trying this out?
My MIL is a natural therapist and is big into the blood type food's. My husband is also A blood type and suffers from psoriasis- and although he doesnt like to follow the diet, because he loves his meat far too much- there are certain foods like tomatos (and other that I can't remember) that he is suppsoed to avoid. When he was following the diet loosely and avoiding some of these foods he found that his psoriasis is much better.
I am not sure how it goes for loosing/ maintaing weight, but it can have an effect on your body for sure- MIL used to say she could see in her kids eyes (iridology) when they were eating badly.
Personally, I think eating for a blood type is a load of BS. There is no scientific research or evidence supporting any claims about eating for a specific blood type makes any difference to health, weight or anything else. You may as well Pick a diet based on hair colour...
The book is called "eat right for your blood type", not sure by whom. My sister and her DP were suppose to be giving it a go, not sure what happened, but potentially they had different blood types and cooking 2 different meals was too hard.
Hi Jodi
My Mum followed the Blood Type diet, not to lose weight, but to help her feel better all over. She started sleeping loads better (she has always had major sleep issues) and reckons by following the blood diet she had loads more energy, felt great, etc, etc...I think if it is something you are interested in then, then give it a go... :)
