Has anyone heard of "Eat 4 Your Blood Type"? - Menopause Message Board

Sassy · 09-18-2003, 12:16 PM

I have been having a hard time with surgical menopause for quite some time now, including gaining a lot of weight in a short period of time 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 you in advance for any information.

Hi sassy, My daughter is on a diet programme called "Sureslim". They do a blood test, then work the diet out depending on the test results. She has had a very good weight loss with this programme.

Sassy, I have the books on this way of eating. The Eat For Your Bloodtype book shows what the 4 different blood types should eat in order to live a long and healthy life. They are all different diets. I am an O- person and the diet they outline for me in this book is the exact diet I have always eaten - ATKINS!!

Very good read, get the book!

Thank you for replying. Kirra: is Sureslim similar to the "Eating Right 4 Your Bloodtype"? If so, does your daughter feel better and what type of blood does she have. I am blood type A. I should be a vegetarian, which is good for me because I'm not that fond of meat except chicken.

ssmarilyn: Was there a reason that you purchased all the "Eat for your blood type" books? I just purchased the first one yesterday and the book makes a lot of sense but the diet I should follow is very restrictive, which I don't mind. I just want to feel better. The only thing I am scared of though is eating/drinking soy products, because I read somewhere that a person who has a thyroid problem shouldn't consume soy. Oh well, I'll just keep looking for information. Thank you again for your responses.

Sassy, I purchased the books because I'm a real freak for learning new ways to improve our health and extend our lives. Plus I have hypothyroidism, ankylosing spondylitis and fibromyalgia and wanted to find the best possible diet for myself and my medical conditions. Turns out that us O people are predisposed to arthritis, which I have, and the spinal problem I have, ankylosing spondylitis feeds on starch...so the book fits me very well. I can't eat starch, it makes me sick and makes my arthritis flare up. I think there's alot of truth in each bloodtype needing a unique diet.

You're right about the soy, it supresses the thyroid, so it's a huge no-no for anybody with hypothyroidism.
