"Eat Right For Your Type"

Blood Type Diet

Con Review

 

"Eat Right for Your Type" is authored by Peter J. Adamo. Use your blood type to determine which foods you should be eating. When you eat foods that "agree" with your blood type, you reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, infections, and liver disease. Type A people had ancestors that were farmers, therefore you should be a vegetarian and avoid meat and dairy products. Type B had ancestors that were nomads, therefore you should eat red meat and fish. Type O had ancestors that were hunters and gatherers, therefore you should eat lots of animal protein and little carbohydrates. Type AB, had mixed ancestry, therefore you should eat a combination of Types A and B.

Con: From a former chasefreedom.com visitor:

These theories are not supported by scientific literature and the research has not been confirmed anywhere else.

A little bit of time spent studying a biology book, or a human physiology text book, would dismiss the idea that blood type could specify dietary requirements. There is absolutely no scientific studies done to support this premise.

This program is based on the premise that you should eat certain foods in regards to your blood type. Some types are told that they need to eat a balance between protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Where the program gets really ridiculous, or downright dangerous for someone with severe weight problems, is that some blood types are told that they should not eat lean meats, or only vegetables, or can't eat certain vegetables, etc. Without knowing the individual and their fitness goals, how can anyone determine these requirements?

If you really need to lose some weight, see your doctor, get to a gym, eat smarter, don't check your blood type.

Have you ever wondered who the people are who come up with these obscure diets? My friend actually went on this diet where she had to eat the right food for her blood type. Since she is an O+, she was told to stay away from proteins because supposedly her body was not made to synthesize protein.

First of all, animal protein has nothing to do with blood type. Blood type just measures how your blood cells bind with protein fibers.

Second of all, this diet was so restrictive that she might as well have have starved herself and gotten better results.

With so many weight loss options available, it's hard to know what to do. The reality of popular diet products and programs is that few work in the long term because they don't focus on the sustainable strategies of balanced nutrition, exercise and personal motivation. But don't be discouraged, there are good plans out there that can help you achieve your goals.
