Blood Type Diet

I find this diet will work for weight loss but not necessarily for ailments. I have arthritis and find that an elimination diet worked better than this diet as BTD has too many foods. Granted the BTD for Arthritis works but in a sense because it is so limited it is also similar to an elimination diet plus you get to reintroduce foods on the ED – it’s not suggested with the BTD. I think if you need to lose some pounds and want a healthier lifestyle most whole food, natural diets will work.

Hi, I started the diet with much success as I am an A. I lost 70 lbs. then found out I have colitis and was put on steroids and cannot eat a lot of the foods that I ate on the diet. Needless to say I can’t follow the diet anymore and had put on the weight again. I struggled to lose the weight but haven’t got it all off because of the steriods and because I can’t eat the salads that I love the most and the pastas. Please tell me what I can do to lose the weight I have gained back as I need to lose this weight.

I started this diet because I wanted to lose weight and because I suffered a lot from gas, heartburn, indigestion and constipation. It really worked for me, avoiding the food recommended not to eat and consuming more of the most recommended food, I not only lost weight but my stomach problems seemed to vanish. I had been suffering stomach problems for years and no medication would work.

I did not do a lot of exercise, just follow the diet and walk when I had time.

I really recommend this diet, but fo not go into extreme, simply avoid the non recommened food or take rarely in very small amounts.

I would like to eat right for my blood type. I will start this diet in May and see how I feel after I month. I am A negative and have so many symptoms. Hopefully this will clear them up.

I am AB+ and also have an under active tyhroid glad and take medication which diet plan should I follow?

Hi. Does it matter whether your blood type is negative of positive. I am blood group B negative. Do I have to follow the B group?

I LOVE Peter D’Adamo’s book Eat Right 4 Your Type.

My mother-in-law recommended “Eat Right for your Blood Type” to me after my pregnancy. I was struggling trying to lose my last 10lb and having a furious bout will allergies. I am O-Positive. Before reading I thought my diet was pretty good. I ate a lot of vegetable, fruit, whole wheat bread and pasta’s. After reading the book I found I was not doing such a good job. So, I slowly started to eliminate gluten out of my diet. Face it, if you’ve been eating the wrong things for a long time and your condition is not life threatening it takes a lot of discipline to give up the things you enjoy. Needless to say, I am Gluten free. I don’t take allergy shots anymore, and I haven’t had a cold in a year and I lost my 10lbs. I was never able to run without sucking on an inhaler. I am proud to say I ran my first 2 miles inhaler free this year. I always get a cold once a year and I haven’t even had a sign of a cold in a year. My husband, poor thing, is also O positive and has to abide by this lifestyle change as well. He commented to me a few months ago because I caught him eating some Doritos, “That there is nothing wrong with these, they don’t affect me”. My comment back was do you realize that since we have been eating by the “Eat Right for your Blood Type Diet” that you haven’t had a cold or even felt like you were coming down with something this whole year.” He had to stop and think a minute, and then agreed that I was right. He always gets anyway where from 2 to three colds a I told him it is not the immediate effect. It the lectins that Doritos leave behind that make us susceptible to colds, virus, bacteria, and eventually disease. I talk about the Gluten because for me that was the hardest for me to give up and it made such a huge difference. The other avoids for O positive wasn’t hard for me because most I didn’t like anyway and the others if I had it was very seldom or it was no big deal. I have to thank my mother-in-law for recommending it, and thank Dr Peter D’Adamo for an awesome way of life. I do have one question though. I just recently watched “Knife and Fork” a documentary about the western diet. According to doctors and scientist they recommended a wholefood diet for all Americans. Is it good for O Blood Types to have a wholefoods diet? According to the show the amount of protein and amino acids we receive in fruit and vegetables are sufficient for the body without consuming meat. For all the non-believer you need to start believing. It works!!! Most of your aliments are because of your diet.

I’ve been looking for the best way to loose weight and stay healthy. I sincerely think this will work because i’ve tried vigorous exercises but it didnt work. I’ll keep to this because i’m blood type A+

My girlfriend and I have been trying this for the last 3 weeks. I’m type O and she is A, so we have to be a little watchful on what we plan for menus, but it has been good. I’ve lost a few pounds and she has lost more.

We both are more energetic and have been working out as well as contuinuing our evening walks.

I just found out that I’m type A, and I just found out about the Diet thing, and I’m not afraid to try it. I see that all the things I’m not suppose to eat, actually, has been effecting my health. So, sometime this up coming weekend, my whole family and I are getting food for our blood type diet, and will be trying it for the next 30 days. I think you shouldn’t be afraid, or just say something doesn’t work with out trying it.. If something you think works for you, than keep it, and take out all the other stuff… You should want to be healthy, and happy. So try something new, and see how your body likes it.

I believe this can work because im actually found out that im lactose and tolerant (cant have milk or certain cheeses)because im A Positive. The only problem is i love meat but i guess i can become vegeterian. I tried once….. very hard.

I think the blood type diet works, i am type A and I tried this method and it really made me feel. much better.
