The Blood Type Diet
The Blood Type Diet is taking the world by storm, particularly Hollywood. It's founder Dr Peter D'Adamo says people should eat according to their blood type and in doing so will not only reduce their weight but prevent cancer and heart disease - which healthy eating and regular exercise does anyway!
Despite being bagged by the 'health fraternity', the book Est Right For Your Type is a best seller and certainly worth reading - even if it just a matter of curiosity and further education. Dr D'Adamo is the next best thing to silicone in Hollywood and is personal adviser to a string of celebs, including Liz Hurley.
Dr D'Adamo says that if a person is given the wrong blood during a transfusion, they can die. As his book states, this is because "the immune system generates antibodies that lock onto the foreign blood cells, causing them to clump together or agglutinate".
He then explains that food also contains blood-specific agglutinins known as lectins and claims that if certain foods are eaten by people of the wrong blood type for that food, it can cause a range of problems - from heart disease to obesity. This is because the aggluniation process has been triggered.
It is a very indepth and scientific book and whilst I cannot go into extreme detail about the ins and outs of how each blood group works, here is a basic list of what you can eat according to your blood type.
However, let me say that any diet that eliminates junk food, refined sugar, wheat, salt and hydrogenated fats, will work. As far as feeling better eating according to your blood type is something you have to try for yourself.
O Types: Can eat meat, fish, most vegetables and most fruit. They should avoid wheat. Starchy vegetables such as corn, dairy food and oranges.
A Types: Can eat vegetables, tofu and soy products. They should avoid meat. Dairy food, most beans and legumes and wheat.
B Types: Can eat red meat, seafood, grains, beans, most legumes, most vegetables and most fruit. They should avoid chicken, starchy vegetables like corn, lentils, peanuts, sesame products and wheat.
AB Types: Can eat meat, seafood, dairy food, tofu, beans, legumes, grains, fruit and vegetables. They should limit their intake of red meat, kidney and luma beans, seeds, corn and buckwheat.
