Diet by blood type

The diet is based on the principles of naturopath James D’Adamo, who says blood type and human nutrition are closely linked. The blood group diet is based on the assumption that the composition of the blood has changed over the course of human evolution and is closely correlated with the food consumed by the vast majority of the population in a given period.

Although there is some logic to this claim, there is no evidence-based scientific basis for a separate diet per blood type. The table below gives some pictures of the suitability of food products for people of different blood groups.

Diet for 1 blood type

The diet of positive blood group 1 is based on the fact that products containing mainly animal proteins should be included in the diet. People in this blood group should include low-fat red meat (beef / lamb), offal (heart, liver, lungs), turkey, sea / river fish (herring, sturgeon, trout). , halibut, perch, salmon, mackerel, cod, sardines, pike), excluding salted, smoked and marinated fish.

It is recommended to replace it with soy milk / tofut cheese, but soy products can be used as a supplement but not as a base.

The blood group 1 diet contains foods that contribute to weight loss - artichokes, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, beet leaves, leeks, radishes, spinach, broccoli, parsley, garlic, horseradish, pumpkin, plums, figs.

It is not recommended to drink chocolate, ice cream, strong coffee, cola, black tea.

Dietary recommendations for people in this blood type are given regardless of whether they have a positive or negative Rh factor. The diet of the first Rh-positive blood group is similar to that of the Rh-negative blood group. The following is a table that lists the recommended neutral and prohibited products for people in blood group 1.

Blood type diet reviews and results

Nutrition per blood type, as evidenced by the opinions of those practicing this diet, is the subject of much debate, both in terms of evidence for this theory and its practical application. It is therefore difficult to draw clear conclusions. Opinions on who used this diet differ: some have managed to shed the extra pounds, while others have not changed their weight.
