Has anyone heard or done the "Eat for your blood type Diet"? - Diet & Nutrition Message Board

I have been having some medical issues for quite some time now, including not being able to loss weight. Recently, I consulted with a Holistic Doctor and she told me I should be on the "Eat 4 Your Blood Type Diet". I would like to know if anyone has been on this diet and what you think. Any comments would be welcomed.

Thank in advance for any information.

Hello, Yep. One of my coworkers swears by the book, and she is thin. She is also vegetarian to begin with and has never had to loose any weight. From what she tells me...Type A are supposed to be the vegetarians, type o are supposed to be the carnivoires, and type B are the omnivores. I still don't understand the logic, but then I don't understand the logic of most diets. I just use what works for me.

I follow the guidelines for the most part. Most success stories are for medical conditions (mostly those chronic type things that western medicine does not take care of very well) rather than weight loss. Though I know of a number of people who claim ER4YT was the key to taking off considerable amounts of weight.

Dr. D'Adamo's second book, Live Right 4 Your Type, talks about another system of blood typing (secretor status) that can really impact the foods one is supposed to eat. So that will have more up-to-date information than the first book.

The book I currently find most useful is the Blood Type Encyclopedia (not the exact title) that came out two (?) or so years ago. It goes into different health conditions and the best blood type appropriate supplements to treat them.

Do you know your blood type?

My blood type is A. Thank you so much for the response. I was told that this way of eating would help me with severe menopause symptoms. I also have hypothyoidism. All I know is at this point I will try anything to feel better, even if I don't loss weight. Thank you again.
