I just read a book published in 1996 about eating right for your blood type. Is anyone doing this?

A LLMD suggested I do this, which throws my current foods out the window.

Anyway, it is an interesting read by Dr.Peter
D'Adamo (a naturopathic physician, not a M.D.)

It did change the way I eat I do believe the book has some good points. What did your LLMD say it could do for you because I haven't noticed that much of a difference in the LD symptoms but I have noticed my weight change.
Hope you have some luck.

I met with Dr. D'Adamo. Tried the diet for months. It did not help me. I was craving things that were not on my list and have felt better adding them back in.

Just my experience.

I'm interested in this idea.
What links? The more technical the better.
Hard data, studies to support this?
Pubmed links?
Thanks

I am a blood type B, and avoid nuts when
my immune is low. Nuts make my immune low if I eat them too often.

I believe this is a very good book, food sensitiviites will lower our immune system, so we then cannot fight lyme as well.

If you look to the avoid foods for your blood type, try this for a few months, see how you feel, I believe this may help some more with fighting lyme, avoiding the avoid foods. And adding in the benificial foods to boost or help the immune.

Worth a try.

a few years ago i asked my doc about this - he saidd foods have antigens just as blood does - blood has to be compatible, food has to be compatible...

i'm type O definitely do better with meat - was a vegetarian for 10 years which may have helped set me up for this....shoemaker's no-amylose diet and the atkins diet resemble pretty closely adamo's blood type o diet.

After doing more research and rereading the book, I don't think eating for your blood type is true. It may help some people, because it puts them on a healthy diet.

The premise is that some food will cause your blood to agglutinate or clot if you are the wrong blood type for the food.

Yet, the author never cites scientific studies to prove this or shows pictures of agglunition to back up this theory.

He has even gone so far now as to write another book that links personality to blood type. Still it's "food" for thought.

My sister worked briefly for The Type I Diabetes Group.

Apparantly some scientist did a big study of diabetes and they recorded what blood type everyone had. An incredible disproportional amount where my blood type--the second most popular type--not o but ab? is that right. Scared my sister to death--she bugs me constantly about my weight and diabetes.

Hi,

I did this diet and it was the answer for me. I lost 55 pounds in about 7 months and I was very strict with it. I also felt better at the time and hadn't looked that good in some time, until lyme came out full force.

To this day, the stricter I am with this diet the better I do. I would definitly recommend it to anyone especially with Type O's as they seem (from my exp. and what I have heard) do the best on it.

Being type o and type A are the most difficult diets to follow.

Take Care
