Want to know what to eat for your blood type?

You may have heard of Dr. D’Adamo’s “Eat Right for Your Type” studies and want to find out more about eating for your blood type, right?

Here you will discover the basics of the 4 blood type diets, including how to eat out according to your blood type.

Eating out is going to be an interesting and fun challenge, until you figure which dishes and ethnic cuisine are your natural match.

You should know that each of the 4 blood type diets for losing weight and getting healthy below promotes consuming natural, wholesome fresh foods rather than highly processed food products.

And believe it or not, when you eat for your blood type you’re allowed to eat as much as you want, including yummy snacks, so forget about unstoppable food cravings, nasty hunger pangs and side effects from dubious slimming pills.

Take a look below and determine which foods are highly beneficial for your blood type, and which ones you should avoid.

What to Eat for Your Blood Type 0

The 0 blood type is the earliest human blood group, dating back to between 50,000 BC and 25,000 BC. If you have the 0 blood type, your ancestors were hunters and gatherers, who thrived on a meat-based diet.

So now, your blood type diet should be based on lots of animal protein, fruits and nuts, with little or no other carbs.

Guidelines for Losing Weight:

1. Foods that help you lose weight are: read meat, seafood, kelp, spinach, broccoli
   
2. Foods to avoid when you want to lose weight are: beans, lentils, corn, wheat, cabbage, cauliflower
   
3. Eating out strategy: steak house & salad bar, seafood, and Japanese cuisine

What to Eat for Your
Blood Type A

If you have the A blood type, developed between 25,000 BC and 15,000 BC as an adjustment to a more agrarian lifestyle, you have ancestors that were farmers.

That’s why now your blood type diet should be mainly vegetarian, rich in vegetables and grains, with little or no red meat and dairy products.

Guidelines for Losing Weight:

1. Foods that help you lose weight are: vegetables and vegetable oils (coconut oil & olive oil), soy foods, pineapple
   
2. Foods to avoid when you want to lose weight are: dairy, meat, beans, wheat
   
3. Eating out strategy: vegetarian, seafood, Indian and Japanese cuisine

What to Eat for Your Blood Type B

If you have the B blood type, you have ancestors that were nomads – a lifestyle determined by drastic climatic changes in the western Himalayan mountains and associated with a strong immune system and a flexible digestion.

Now, your blood type diet should be rich in red meat, fish, seafood, and dairy products. Avoid chicken, as it creates a strong toxic response in the B blood type.

Guidelines for Losing Weight:

1. Foods that help you lose weight are: eggs, liver, venison, greens, licorice, green tea
   
2. Foods to avoid when you want to lose weight are: wheat, buckwheat, corn, lentils, peanuts, seeds, including sesame
   
3. Eating out strategy: steak house & salad bar, seafood, Greek and French cuisine

What to Eat for Your Blood Type AB

If you have the AB blood type, which just evolved “recently” in our modern civilization from A and B blood types, you have – obviously – a mixed ancestry.

So your blood type diet should be a combination of A and B blood type diets: both veggies and grains, combined with moderate amounts of red meat, fish, and dairy products.

Guidelines for Losing Weight:

1. Foods that help you lose weight are: dairy, seafood, tofu, kelp, greens, pineapple
   
2. Foods to avoid when you want to lose weight are: red meat, buckwheat, beans, corn, seeds
   
3. Eating out strategy: pretty much everywhere, except fast food

You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that although blood type diets discourage highly-processed foods, there are hundreds of acceptable foods for each blood type, including a wide range of meats, seafood, grains, fruits, and vegetables that you should cook with healthy cooking oils.

Experiment with these slimming blood type diets and eat according to your blood type for a few weeks. You have nothing to lose, except some extra pounds of fat, right?

Think about it.

When you eat for your blood type, not only will you lose weight faster and easier than you’ve ever imagined, you’ll eat clean, natural foods and diminish (or even lose) most food allergies and intolerances. You’ll certainly notice an increased feeling of health, vitality and well-being.

You will very likely still find yourself on the specific diet that matches your blood type after several years.

Try it and see for yourself!
