Eating for your blood type

[AggieDave 6]

Has anyone actually done this? Do you think it helped?

Strangely enough, reading about it on the internet, I found that the foods listed that were "best" for my blood type were foods I enjoy eating anyways. As of now I really think that its a bunch of self-help BS that someone cooked up to sell books (like Dr. Phil's entire line up).

I actually follow that diet and I feel great. I don't feel tired or worn down and I have been sleeping really well since I started it. (3 Months ago). Although being a vegetarian makes it hard to eat out places that my husband likes to eat out at....

take the time to appreciate the people around you.

I was just reading that page... apparently I should eat meat and lots of it

[lawrocket 3]

I'm type A-Negative. (Freaking Squeak ruins my mojo - our blood type ain't too common.)

So, I saw what it recommended - "Type A - Vegetarian." "Type As should eliminate all meats from their diet." and "Most dairy products are not digestible for Type As."

But wait!! There's more - "These don't suit the digestive system of Type As, nor do they support the immune system: Beer, Distilled liquor, Seltzer water, Soda, Black Tea."

"Condiments These products should be avoided because Type As have low levels of stomach acid: Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Pickles, Relish, Worcestershire sauce"

I should also avoid,"English muffins, Bread (High-protein whole wheat, Multi-grain), Matzos, pumpernickel, Wheat bran muffins, Flour (white, whole wheat), Pasta (Semolina, spinach)"

I initially thought, "FUCK THAT! I'll be the healthiest motherfucker ever right up until the day I kill myself due to major sensory-deprivation-induced depression."

Then I realized that I''m A-Negative - So take the negative of everything it says. WHich is what I do.

And if I experience a cerebrovascular accident tonight, at least I know that the al pators burrito I ate tonight was dern tasty, even more delectable when paired with a Firestone Double Barrel Ale.

I'm A+. I don't understand this at all:

Bread & Noodles Type As have a wonderful selection and choices in grains and pastas Bread (Essene, Ezekiel, Soya flour, Sprouted wheat), Rice cakes, Flour (Oat, Rice, Rye), Soba Noodles, Pasta (Artichoke)

NOT ALLOWED: English muffins, Bread (High-protein whole wheat, Multi-grain), Matzos, pumpernickel, Wheat bran muffins, Flour (white, whole wheat), Pasta (Semolina, spinach)

Oh yeah. Wonderful selection.

Accorsing to that BS I should be eating only tofu and carrots. Mm-hmm, riiiiiight.

Yeah, I'm supposed to stay away from distilled liquors. HA! If I did that ol' Jasper Newton would rise from the grave and kick my ass.

I think that you're probably right about the BS part.

Also an A+.

Let's switch to the Okra and Black-Eyed Peas diet!

It will go well with the collard greens, broccoli, alfalfa sprouts, cod, salmon and Red snappers.

No ketchup, Mayo, Beer, or soda?!?!?

What the heck would RBC-specific antigens have to do with what you eat? I mean, surely no one thinks that those antigens are specific to food proteins, do they? (unless they're a vampire, that is)

[AggieDave 6]

I was wondering a very similar thing, although in a much more simple line of thinking. "Its digested by the time it hits your blood stream, already into the chemicals your body uses for various functions..."

Hence my BS like Dr. Phil comment in the first post.

I bet you have tasty blood.

[shermanator 3]

my mom's boss is on that, and she was looking at it.. apparently, the stuff that she is allergic to, is the stuff that the diet says for that bloodtype to avoid.

Hey is there anyone O-? I am not that special, just O+

Type Os thrive on intense physical exercise and animal protein. Unlike the other blood types, Type Os muscle tissue should be slightly on the acid side. Type Os can efficiently digest and metabolize meat because they tend to have high stomach-acid content. The success of the Type O Diet depends on the use of lean, chemical-free meats, poultry, and fish. Type Os don't find dairy products and grains quite as user friendly as do most of the other blood types.

Did you post this after watching Samuel L. Jackson tonight on Leno? Just curious, as this was the first time I had heard of this eating for your blood type.

No sh*t...the chances of me cutting red meat out this A+ guy are slim and none...

I followed it for a long time. I lost weight and had a ton more energy. I started off by just cutting way back on the foods I should avoid. By the end I was eating all the foods that are beneficial to you and couldn't have felt better. I have been thinking about getting back on it again. It's really not that hard. And if nothing else it stears you toward naturally good foods. You don't see it recommending frozen pizza and mac-n-cheese.

[cocheese 0]

I did it. Went veggie for 3 years. Lost some weight. Never had heart burn, head aches, digestive problems, mood swings.

It was cool for a while. Then i started to not eat as healthy. Gained weight, started trying meat, got heart burn, head aches, digestive problems.

Let's face it, the less processed foods you eat the better. Raw veggies are the best thing for you. Full of insecticides and e-coli.

I am O-. But that page is painful to read.

It looks like bullshit to me.

Every few years another one of these diet fads comes along. People don't want to hear the truth: Eat a balanced diet, whole grains, plenty of fruit/veggies, get enough sleep and exercise regularly.

Once you do that you'll get all the benefits of health, but people don't want to hear that. It's too boring. They want some secret gimmick.

I'm A+, and it says meat makes me sluggish (not true, unless I overeat, which would happen no matter what I ate) Also that I should have trouble digesting dairy products (also untrue).

I'll bet I could publish a book that said you should eat certain foods based on your zodiac sign, and it would probably sell like hotcakes.
