Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 I try to do the same...But I don't agree with everything I'm supposed to stay away from. I'm A+ and cannot live without wheat, cantaloupe or bananas:) But, I do use it as a guideline. My husband is an O so I cook meat for him once a week.

Sure. A few years ago a naturopathic doc named Peter D'Adamo wrote a book called, " Eat Right 4 Your Type. " The lady at my huge health food store said that book got more rave reviews than anything else she ever sold there. I had lots of friends raving about it, so I got it, and I'm really glad I did. D'Adamo (www.dadamo.com) did 10+ years of research into people's blood types versus the foods they eat -- under a microscope and with real people. He made some amazing discoveries... that people respond to food according to their blood type (O, A, B, AB). He went on to write several more books about it. He discovered, for instance, that O type blood doesn't tolerate wheat well.... and so on with all the types of foods and all the types of blood he tested. Anyway, he came up with a list of recommended foods, okay foods, and AVOID foods for each blood type. D'Adamo explains that eating wrong is cumulative. When you're a child and you eat your AVOID foods, you just get more colds, or maybe no symptoms at all. But as you age, it starts to catch up to you and eventually results in the biggies -- heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, cancer, etc. Everyone I know of over 40 (and some under) who has followed his recommendations has reported tremendous benefits from it (including me) -- they have gotten rid of heart palpitations, heartburn, flatulence, digestive disturbances of all types, itchy skin, chronic coughs, depression, recurrent strokes, heart problems, etc... lowered pain levels dramatically from things like arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc. I have TREMENDOUS benefits from it myself. There are certain foods I just won't eat any more because I've come to understand (by my own experiments) how horrible they make me feel. I'm not talking about junk foods (chocolate and peanut butter are fine for me). For instance, (I'm an AB) bananas, corn, vinegar and oranges absolutely do me in. By regulating what types of food I eat, I have far less pain, far fewer symptoms of various types, no more indigestion, better sleep, more energy, and definitely a much better mood. You can find the food lists (free) here: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~sshapiro/ER4YT/FoodLists_TOC.html Scroll down and pick your race, then your blood type. If you live/eat with someone of a different blood type, you can scroll down to the bottom of that page and find lists for the combinations. For instance, if you're an A and you live with an O, print out the A-O list and when you shop/cook, those are the foods that you both can eat. If you're suffering from any kind of health problems, try avoiding all your AVOID foods for a month, and see how you feel. Hey, it's free to try, so what do you have to lose? Then take the food you most hated to give up, and sit down to a healthy dose of it. Then see how you feel for the next THREE days... then you will know exactly what that food does to you, and after that you can make an educated decision about whether or not you want to eat it from then on. Chances are good that when you read the AVOID list for your type, you'll notice foods on there that you already knew made you feel bad. Sticking to the food lists has been the #1 thing I've found to make a clear difference in how I feel on a daily basis. I met a gal who told me she knew she had bad food allergies (D'Adamo doesn't call it allergies, but that's what I think it is from his description). She flew from Seattle to Boston and stayed a week while she underwent loads of tests from a big food allergy specialist. She came back with a list of foods to avoid. Years later D'Adamo came out with his book. She compared the lists, and they were identical. Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 I am sorry but I just cannot put much stock in the " blood type " diets. My husband is A+ and is one of the biggest meat eaters around.....is 61, has no health problems what-so-ever and although he will eat anything I cook, including vegetarian meals, he is basically a carnivore. I am O+ and have always eaten a well balanced, well rounded diet and while I love vegetarian meals very much and cook them a lot, I am not a total vegetarian.
