hi! has anyone done the blood group diet being type o and vegitarian?

Question

or has any one done the blood group diet with sucess?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I'm with teddybear - I did buy the book because I believe in the scientific theory behind the diet (most diets are crap, but there is some evidence to back up the blood type diet and the food combining plans [not to eat carbs and protein at the same meal because each is processed less effectively when they have to be processed together]), and I did feel better when I was able to more or less follow the plan. However... I'm a lamb-, beef- and (most especially) dairy-loving Type A. In other words, I'm as effectively out of luck as a vegetarian Type O, and couldn't stick to it for long. It's been a while since I opened the book (I already have a pretty good idea what I shouldn't be eating), but I can't imagine how a vegetarian could make a Type O diet work. P.S. If you've been feeling uncharacteristically sluggish lately, it's fine to try another way of eating, but that should not be a substitute for proper medical care. If you have not made any major changes to your habits (sleeping, eating, exercising, etc.) recently, you should go see your doctor. You could have a problem (like hypothyroidism or an iron deficiency [the latter being a common problem among vegetarians]) that requires medication/ supplements/ whatever. Good luck!

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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!

Answer 5

I do a blood group diet,but I don't know how mine is called,well,it is not the best thing for me!

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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.
