Imran K replied: "Who creates diets? So often, we find ourselves asking about the reviews on a diet, what people have to say about it and how they claim it effects them. Truth be told, anyone can say, “it worked for me,” if the pay is right regardless if they have ever even tried the diet. In nine out of ten cases, this is the situation. The reality of it is that we are looking in the wrong directions to find the best diet plans. We should be looking at the credentials of the individual(s) who created the diet, and go from there.

Anyone heard of the Type O- blood diet? I looked it up on google but didnt really find what I was looking for. Why is this supposed to work and what is the type o negative blood diet?
[[[ Toxic Cupcakes ]]] replied: "Its a diet that works with your blood type
For Example
People with Blood type X have low stomach acid and therefore Should not Eat Dense foods
Something Like That.
There is A Type O Blood Diet but im Not 100% where to find it.
Try Google or Ask
Look around, its Probably hard to find Because Type O is Kinda Rare."
Is a vegetarian diet bad for a person who is blood type O+? Last January I went from eating meat to a vegetarian diet. I found out today that my blood type is O+. The best foods to eat for a person with that blood type are red meat, chicken, and fish- none of which I eat. Does this mean eating a vegetarian diet is not good for me?

andyg77 replied: "I am also O+ and have tried the Veg route. It just didn't seem to work for me. I have continued to eat meat but have cut down immensely and so far I have felt OK. Also I just tried substituting turkey burgers for hamburgers, I seemed to really like that also.
I read the original book regarding diet selection for various blood types and although I found a sort of logic to it, I noted many exceptions and flaws that convince me to take a more moderate nutritional pathway.
The O+ hunter/gatherer probably most certainly did not eat just meat. They also ate nuts, berries, tubers etc. And at times, I would bet they found nuts and berries with less effort than clubbing a mammoth and lugging him 20 miles to their camp site. I could envision them gorging for a couple days but soon the meat would spoil and a basket of bluberries would look good again.
Rather than trying to find a single food type why not a litt of the different food groups. You can use the food pyramid as a starting point and increase/decrease to your personal preferences (what makes you feel best or better)
I, for instance do not feel good after starchy grains like rice and wheat, but I get along with oatmeal and potato just fine.
Another angle I read about once is to consider what your parents and grandparents ate. It explained that our digestive enzymes are, in part, inherited from our ancestors and we would thus be able to get better nutrition using their diets as a guide. That makes sense to me because when growing up we NEVER had bread at our table and bread does not "sit well with me"
The best person to ask about for your diet is yourself.
Remember also that even though there are typically 15,000 items in a grocery store there is only three things you can eat, namely fat, protein and carbs. Make sure you are getting something close to the daily recommendations for these and then start choosing amongst the food groups, of which there are only four or five.
Good luck to you and your personal nutrition."
dancer replied: "blood type has no direct effect on what type of foods are good for you to eat. although if you are following a vegetarian diet, make sure you are getting plenty of protein from nuts, legumes, beans etc. that is the main health concern with vegetarian diets. Also eat fortified cereals for an adequate iron intake since you are not consuming red meats"
Gooch replied: "I never heard of this and I am a nutrition major.
No, eating vegetarian is great for you but of course, little bit more works but you will be healthy, happier (well, less crulty to the animals) and look better (my opinions)

Elizabeth J replied: "Um... your blood type has nothing to do with the healthiest diet, which is the same for all humans.
I've been vegan since conception and I'm blood type O+, so... yeah."
Does the blood type diet work? How do I start it? I am type O neg...? I have a list of things I am not supposed to eat but I need some recipes or ideas so I can know what to eat.
tpuahlekcip replied: "the blood type diet is a scam to get your money
it was one of the many I studied in my nutritionist courses
your blood type has nothing to do with how you digest your food
i would recommend reading anything by pritikin if you are looking for a good book
I can help set up a weight loss plan for you if you email me"
CottonPatch replied: "It doesn't work, I tried it."
Blood Type Diet (Type O) anyone got good to say? My Naturpath has just recommened that i try this but the overwhelming evidence i have looked at on the web is negative. Its a scam, flawed, another money making book etc! Has anyone had a positive experience with this diet. Its been recommended not just for weight loss but for avoidance of possible future illness that as an O i may be prone to. Also to help with general good feeling now? Only it just seems a bit retrictive and cuts out food groups.
SuperMan replied: "rare blood type"
scorpiorising75 replied: "That's bunk. Your blood type has nothing to do with the type of diet you should be eating.
Don't buy anything from this guy, and stop listening to him. This is not based in any sort of scientific fact whatsoever.
And for the record - type O is the most common blood type, it's not rare at all ;)
O+ is the most common.... O- is fairly rare."
oldknowitall replied: "My sister has been on this diet and it is working for her. She likes it. From what she has told me, it seems similar to the Mediterrian diet which is pretty well accepted."
elan replied: "When I read the original book, "Eat Right for Your Type," I found it taught exactly what I had spent decades learning through trial and error, in relation to what foods my body easily digests. I found it almost perfectly accurate and useful. And I have spoken with others who found it useful too. (In each case, there was often one food that was inaccurate.) It would follow that you can more easily lose weight if those foods you are eating are all well digested. However, at least in relation to the original book, it is not specifically about weight loss.
Many concepts about diet in alternative medicine have proven useful over time to many people, even though science may not yet know why. Examples include:
1) this, eating in relation to your blood type;
2) eating in relation to your ayurvedic type;
3) rules about food combining (esp. not eating meat and grain at the same meal as they use different enzymes);
4) not eating when under stress. Watch a cat; it will lick itself or ask for petting before a meal, in order to relax.
5) eating in relation to the sun - i.e., the knowledge that your digestive "fire" is strongest when the sun, the fire in the sky, is also strongest, at noon. It follows that the noon meal should be the heaviest, and the evening meal should be lighter. Also, what you eat after sunset just sits, stagnates, and turns into compost. Many countries in Europe and South America have the main meal at noon, and they have a 2-hour break for lunch to include relaxation around the meal. I have found eating in relation to the sun does have an effect on weight loss. However, when you are younger, you can get away with more, for many reasons, including more exercise. Ahh, those hamburgers, fries and milkshakes after the Saturday night movies!"
Has anyone here gone on the blood type diet? I am o+ which is high protein and low carb.? I am not asking about it for those who went on it to loose weight I am just wondering if it did make your body feel better as in less tired, energetic all that kind of thing it is supposed to do for you. I just want to know your outcome of it and wether or not you stuck with it.
Violet Pearl replied: "I don't do a blood type diet but I do a eat enough protein based on my weight, and have switch simple carbs (white flour, white rice) to complex carbs and cut all sugar and sweetners.
Works for me."
What fruits to eat on Blood type diet (Type O)? I just don't have my book with me. I know it says to avoid canteloupes but that's all i remember from the fruit section.
jackie_jabar replied: ": 1 fruit (3-5 ounces) 3-4 times/day
Figs (Dried or Fresh), Plums (Dark, Green, Red) and Prunes. Aside from NO List, all other fruits are OK for your blood type. Vegetables should be from local sources within your state (preferably within your garden.) All fruits should be from local sources within your state (preferrably within your garden.)
Juices: 8 ounces 2-3 times/day
Black Cherry, Pineapple, Prune, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber and all BEST Vegetables and all other BEST/OK fruits and vegetables listed above."
I am O blood type. Does the blood type diet really work? I'm mostly wondering if it will stabalize weight, and help with energy.
girllll replied: "ive heard crazy reviews about it. check it out on oprahs site. she had an entire segment about it..."
everbling08 replied: "I doubt it. Its basicily about consistance of eating habits and exercise habits.Although some studies say different nutrition by blood type ,family history diseases, and chemical imbalance most common in females and overweight people."
amemahoney replied: "I know people who follow the "Blood Type Diet" book. It is so ridiculous. A close family member refuses to eat any pork products because it is "not on her list."
The only reason this "diet" works is because you will be limiting certain foods from your diet, which will mostly result in a lower over-all calorie intake.
Eating clean is the best option. Eat 4-6 small meals a day (usually total 1,800-2,200 calories, depending on your goals and how much you exercise). Cut out the junk food and sodas. Switch your drinks to water, tea, and a small coffee now and then (not super-calorie lattes and mochas). Eat whole grains, meat portions of 3-5 oz, fruits, dairy, and tons of veggies, especially green veggies.
Going on a "Diet" will only make food the enemy. Eating well and going for good nutrition will make you see food as it is - great things that nourish our body. Try Tosca Reno's Eating Clean Diet (yeah, I know it's called a Diet, but it's not - it's the way people who work out and athletes have eaten for Decades). There is also an Eating Clean Magazine and Oxygen Magazine has lots of good tips - though many women don't like the "bulked up" chicks in that magazine. Don't worry - eating well and lifting weights won't make you bulk up unless you try REALLY hard to do that.
Add some walking or other cardio, stretch ten to twenty minutes a day and lift weights for 20 minutes twice a week and you will transform you body and feel better than you ever have in your life. Leave the Diet fads for people who want to spend the rest of their lives Yo-Yo-ing with their weight."
Jack replied: "Being O blood type, if you were to follow the diet, it would entail you eating excessive amounts of red meat. My father was type O, and followed the diet for years - his cholesterol became so dangerously high as a result, that his doctor said he had to discontinue eating such high amounts of red meat, or risk heart attack. He adjusted his diet, and his levels are normal again. This same diet suggests that people with other blood types avoid meats all together (which can also be very unhealthy, if you're not getting the appropriate amounts of protein). If you want to stabalize weight and maintain energy, a balanced diet, exercise and good sleep is key. Don't bother with diets. I had a consultation with a nutritionalist who said the best way to eat is have your plate comprise of 60% fruits and vegetables, 25% meats/protein, and 15% carbs. Depending on your lifestyle, you may need more carbs. So to sum things up, be very careful with the eat-for-your-type diet. Just try to eat healthy and balanced."
hi! has anyone done the blood group diet being type o and vegitarian? or has any one done the blood group diet with sucess?
Anastasia replied: "I do a blood group diet,but I don't know how mine is called,well,it is not the best thing for me!"
Dee replied: "type o's are hunter gatherers and therefore do not thrive on a vegitarian diet, i'm type o and i tried to be a veggie and it darn near killed me......i dreamt about meat day and night. don't know if it is true for others...my experience was this."
FIONA S replied: "my mother did it for a while............she is now 94..............but i dont think it made any difference to her general wellbeing and she soon gave it up."
Luvfactory replied: "You can't do that if you are a vegetarian and type 0, because you have to eat different types of meats and no carbohydrate-type foods. You'd be better off doing the Atkins because you can substitute meat protein with vegetarian protein. But I wouldn't do any diet that restricts a whole food group, because that is not a good idea. You need proteins, carbohydrates and good fats to keep healthy, and of course vitamins and minerals!!! Try eating less calories than what you need each day then you can loose weight easily."
Ian H replied: "Funny you should ask that!
I am type A and have never really like meat thinking about it. Virtually all my protein comes from dairy stuff. I am also happy not to eat sweet stuff either.
But I could drink milk for England, never touch marge (only ever butter) eat cheese by the ton, and love eggs.
maybe there is something in it after all!

Katz replied: "I'm pretty sure that diet states that it's Type A best suited for vegetarianism."
