Apparently I'm supposed to be a heavy meat eater.But I'm vegan and fine,so i think that pretty much shows that the diet is a scam.

Blood type diet:
Do we really need to eat like cavemen?


A third popular fad diet, the blood type diet, has been around since Peter J. D’Adamo, N.D. wrote “Eat Right For Your Type” in 1996. “The book’s basic premise,” says vegan nutrition expert Michael Klaper, M.D., “that Type O’s are the dominant, hunter-caveman type that require meat in the diet, that Type A’s are docile vegetarians, while Type B’s are dairy-eating omnivores, has become a manifesto for many people to rationalize including regular portions of meat and other animal products in there diet. (After all, my ancestors did it.)”


“It’s a fallacy to even speak of ‘original’ type O’s or ‘original’ type A’s because blood types did not originate with humans,” says Dr. Stephan Bailey, a nutritional anthropologist at Tufts University. “They came on the biologic scene long before humans did. Furthermore, there is no anthropologic evidence whatsoever that all prehistoric people with a particular blood type ate the same diet.” The prestigious “Tufts University Health and Nutrition Letter” gave the blood type diet it’s lowest possible rating.


The diet works, says author John Robbins, simply because it so sharply restricts caloric intake. “The diets recommended for all four blood types are each extremely low in calories. Some day’s plans have only 1,000 calories, half the caloric needs of an adult woman.”

Answer 2

A freind of mine lost weight on this diet.... but let's face it, when you cut out certain foods from any diet, you'll lose weight. I read an article in a health magazine written by nutritionists. They gave that diet a big " thumbs down".... the one they all agreed was the best by far was Weight Watchers.

Answer 3

as far as I can tell from what I've read, it's just another fad diet and has no real scientific basis. a friend went on it, but didn't lose anything.

Answer 4

I've never even heard of such a thing! That's crazy!
