Diet according to blood group

The diet is based on the principles of naturalist James D'Adamo, who states that blood type and human nutrition are closely related. The blood group diet is based on the postulate that the composition of blood changed during the evolution of mankind and was closely related to the type of food consumed by the vast majority of the population of a particular period.

Despite some logic in this statement, there is no evidence-based scientific basis for separate nutrition by blood type. Some ideas about the suitability of foods for people with different blood types are given in the table below according to the food by blood type.

Diet for blood type 1

1 Positive blood group diet is based on the inclusion of products containing mainly animal proteins in the diet. In the diet of people of this blood group it is necessary to include low-fat varieties of red meat (beef / lamb), by-products (heart, liver, lungs), turkey, sea / river fish (herring, sturgeon, trout). , Halibut, perch, salmon, mackerel, cod, sardines, pike), excluding salted, smoked and pickled fish.

Other products containing animal protein (dairy products, chicken eggs) are poorly absorbed, except cottage cheese and their consumption may be very limited. It is recommended to replace them with soy milk / tofu cottage cheese, although soy products can be used as a supplement, but not as a staple.

Blood type 1 diet includes foods that promote weight loss - artichokes, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, beet leaves, leeks, radishes, spinach, broccoli, parsley, garlic, onions, pumpkin, plums, leeks.

Of the drinks, lime / rose tea, plum and pineapple juice are especially useful, which speed up the metabolism. It is not recommended to take chocolate, ice cream, strong coffee, cola, black tea.

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

Diet according to the 2nd blood group

The 2 positive blood group diet is based on plant foods and an approach to a vegetarian diet. Including meat products in the diet for people who have 2 positive / negative blood groups does not make sense, because it is poorly absorbed and promotes the accumulation of fat. Sometimes you can eat neutral chicken or turkey meat. The main sources of animal protein are seafood, fish and soy products (tofu cheese, milk).

Especially useful: trout, carp, pie, perch, white fish, cod, mackerel, sardines. It is recommended to eat fish with vegetables. Dairy products other than kefir are also not preferred in the diet. Chicken eggs in the amount of 1-2 pieces per week. Useful from grains: buckwheat, sprouted wheat grains, brown rice, bread made from sprouted wheat grains, but can not be abused on grain products - 2-3 times a week.

The second positive blood group menu should be dominated by vegetables and fruits, both raw and cooked. It is especially recommended to include broccoli, garlic, pumpkin, chicory, green beans, spinach, onions, carrots, apricots, plums, grapefruit, blackberries, strawberries, lemons, cherries, pineapples, raspberries in the diet. According to reviews, the best effect is achieved by eating the fruit that grows in the region of your place of residence. Extremely useful are various nuts (peanuts), seeds, green tea.

Blood group diet considerations and outcomes

Eating according to blood type, as evidenced by reviews of practitioners of this diet, causes a great deal of controversy, both in terms of the evidence for this theory and in terms of its practical application. Therefore, it is difficult to draw unequivocal conclusions. The opinions of the people who used this diet are different: some managed to lose extra pounds, while others did not change their weight.
