4 Blood Type Diets: Eating for Your Blood Type
Right eating for your blood type is the basis of the massive hit. Eat Right for Your Type - The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight" by Peter D'Adamo, Doctor of Naturopathy specialized in the 4 blood type diets.
Why "hit"?
Because since its publication in 2002, Dr. D’Adamo’s book got incredible popularity with countless people who finally found a practical solution to their long-fought with weight problem.Believe it or not, eating for your blood type concept has a strong scientific basis over decades of scientific study and practical experimentation.
It is founded on the well-known theory of the humans' blood types evolution since the dawn of humanity.
In a nutshell, the 4 blood type diets are based on scientists’ findings according to which the antigens in your particular blood type react differently with specific lectins in various foods. Often times, these lectins even create a toxic chemistry in your body - leading to common health issues, including weight gain.
You might be shocked to discover that many toxic lectins are contained in common foods known to have a history as allergens:
- dairy, especially from cows fed grains vs. grass
- wheat
- beans, including soy & peanuts
- "nightshade" vegetables: tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, potatoes
All of this may seem complicated, even doubtful at first.
But think about it.
Have you ever wondered why is it that diets work differently for different people?
For example, you might thrive on a vegetarian diet, while your friend might not be able to go 2 days in a row with no meat without feeling short-tempered and moody, right?
Or, why you lose weight easier on a high-carb, low-fat diet while someone else is better off on a high-protein, low-carb diet.
Well, here's why.
Because you are not the same with anyone else and your blood type largely influences your physiology and metabolism - "Eat Right for Your Type" provides a solid, detailed explanation.
But it gets even better.
Dr. D'Adamo demonstrates that eating for your blood type according to the 4 blood type diets is not only for people who want to lose weight, like you - the weight loss is only a natural consequence of eating right for your blood type.
So if you still think that the blood type diets are ridiculous, just look into the scientific evidence cited in Dr. D'Adamo's "Eat Right for Your Type" book, and decide for yourself.
Even better, try your specific diet for a couple of weeks - you may just find that eating for your blood type is one of the most holistic, safe, natural and enjoyable ways to lose weight and keep it off.
