A diet according to a blood group - does it really work?

Answer 1

It worked for one friend of mine. But many people it won't. All """diets""" take the very things most people who want to diet, lack: motivation and dedication and self-denial and will-power.

Each pound is 3,500 calories. Find out your daily caloric needs, and reduce that by 500 calories. This will make you lose a pound a week. ( 7 x 500=3500)

Fat is 9 calories a gram; carbs are 4.5 calories a gram. Don't fall for Atkins or any bacon-eater diets. Common sense and will-power will get you there.

But blood type diet MIGHT help with issues like allergies or fatigue from certain incompatible foods.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I did buy the book "Eat Right for Your Type" after thumbing through the introductory information and finding some merit in the author's arguments (he's a naturopathic doctor). It did seem to work while I was on it, but I didn't stay on it long. It was too hard to stay away from some things that as a Type A I should avoid (red meat, some dairy). I did incorporate soy into my diet as a result of the book, though, which is a good thing.

It's probably worth a try, especially if you're a Type B or Type AB, as they have (what I think) are the easiest diets to follow. Type O's need to give up most carbs (and focus on meat), Type A's need to lay off the meat (and aim, ideally, for a vegetarian diet), and both O's and A's have to lay off most dairy products. YIKES!

Answer 3

I,ve tried this diet, and many, many, others.(they didnt work for me) The only diet that has been working for me is regular aerobic exercise ,some pilates and 1200 calories a day. Bonus: the wieght just leaves your body not your pocket book.

Answer 4

I agree with Martino. Diet is all about motivation, dedication, self-denial and will-power. If you have all this, every "diet" will work!

Answer 5

No, it doesn't. Your blood group doesn't affect your metabolic processes.
