  1. Hello,

    I have some basic questions about the "blood type diet",
    as taught in with the book "Eat Right For Your Type", by D'Amato.

    Trying to look up some info on the web, I found D'Amato's website --
    but the page had some clunky Java and stopped loading. Bleahhh.

    So, can someone please tell me a few basics, such as:

    A 40-year-old woman in good health is considering this diet.
    Her blood type is B+. According to this diet, which foods and
    beverages should she eat? Which should she avoid?
    What else would she need to know? (For example, some diet plans
    make a point about what time of day to eat, how much water to drink,
    and lots of other things.)

    Thank you very much!

    Ted Shoemaker

    It's Peter D'Adamo, as I recall.

    His diet is not backed up by any science or research whatsoever.
    It's a load of bull. Plenty of animals have more than one bloodtype,
    yet eat the same diet.

    Where it not for the fact that Type O is the majority bloodtype in the
    US, and he recommends lowcarbing (which works anyway) for type O,
    his book would have been forgotten on the trash heap years ago.

    and start exercising. Keep a food diary for at least a month,
    and then start substituting high fiber low fat food for the
    high fat things you eat. Repeat indefinitely to be healthy.

    It's total unadulterated [censored], made palatable only to sell books.

    She should eat high fiber carbs, lean proteins, healthy fats from nuts,
    seeds and fish, and avoid refined flour products, refined sugar, and
    saturated fats. She should drink plenty of water and green tea.

    She should eat often enough to feel sated all the time. A diet that
    makes you go hungry needs more work. She should eat less than she burns
    and she should burn more than she eats. The secret lies in a four-part
    formula:

    1. Eat less
    2. Exercise more
    3. Repeat
    4. Forever.

    Thanks. And I didn't get it by following a "blood type diet". In fact,
    I didn't "follow" any diet. I learned how to eat best for my particular
    body. Reading The Zone Diet stuff by Barry Sears was helpful, as was
    Body for Life by Bill Phillips and "Fattitudes" by Willert and a bunch
    of stuff about the glycemic index of food. And, of course,
    http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html is always a great place to learn
    how to eat and exercise.

  8. Everyone's objections and criticisms to this diet are noted.
    Thank you for your opinions.

    Now, I'll ask the original question again.

    Suppose a woman whose blood type is B+ decides to try
    this diet. Which foods does this diet tell her to eat,
    and which to avoid?

    Thank you very much,

    Ted Shoemaker

  9. Ted I cannot answer your question as I do not know . However I had to laugh
    at how your simple straight forward question was discarded , so people could
    push their own little agendas and opinions onto you . Obviously they didn't
    think you would be smart enough to arrive at your question after checking
    out all the sort of stuff they were throwing at you . I was wondering when
    you would put them back in their places . Good luck I hope someone comes
    along who can read and comprehend English and answer your question without
    treating you to a heap of unwanted [censored] advice .

    Um, that's up to you to figure out. Obviously we've made it plain that this
    is not a diet or theory that we follow or agree with. Personally, my
    opinion is that it is [censored] science, like all the other diets that have a
    name/logo or cost $. However, If you insist that it is of value to you,
    then YOU do the research, buy the book, and figure it out. The truth is,
    there is no "science" or special magical key to unlock the mystery door of
    losing weight. It all boils down to "eat less, exercise more". But of
    course, that is free, and only requires effort, diligence, and
    determination. Not what you wanted to hear either, I don't imagine.

    http://www.doctorbannock.com/BloodType.htm

    ### TYPE B's
    ### Balanced Blood Type
    ###
    ### Evolved sometime between 15,000 and 10,000 B.C. and are a combination
    ### of A and O. This blood type emerged as a result of the migration of
    ### the races from the African homeland to Europe, Asia, and the Americas
    ### and may of mutated due to climactic changes. B's diet is a combination
    ### of A's and O's
    ###
    ### * You should have the most varied diet of all the blood types,
    ### including meat. This is the only blood type that does well with dairy
    ### products.
    ### * Engage in exercise such as moderate swimming or walking.
    ### * Your risk factors for slow-growing viruses that attack the
    ### nervous system increases if you eat incorrectly.
    ###

    That's an excellent diet plan, if it is combined with limiting
    calories.

    Here's my suggestion: she should follow this diet, count calories, eat
    at 80% of her maintenance level (no less), and exercise a lot, say,
    for example, walk 100 minutes per day.

    I followed exactly the above diet, except that I eschewed all candy
    and junk foods and all sweetened food, and lowered my carbs, and
    exercised just like the diet plan above suggested.

    I lost 47 lbs in 100 days, which may be too fast, but hey it worked.

    And I'll give you the same answer. I snipped it word for word:

    If the blood type died is what you are looking for. GO BUY THE BOOK.
    and READ IT
    Make your own choices.

    Its obvious from the other replies that the groups you are asking
    advice from do not have the answers you are looking for.

    With that being said. It doesn't matter what textbook or sales
    gimmick diet you follow, the basic principle to weight loss is:
    Consume fewer calories than your body expends and you lose weight.
    Consume excess calories than your body expends and you gain weight.

    So, combine restricted intake with increased expenditures and you will
    lose weight.

    In other words
    Eat less
    Exercise more
    repeat, forever

  15. The "Blood Type Diet" is not a weight loss technique but rather a health
    technique. weight loss can be a side effect sometimes.

    Save the apologies. I'm giving you the truth versus the [censored]. I
    read the book once, at least the 0+ part, and know a bit about fat loss
    and recognized that any fat loss that resulted from these prohibitions
    was coincidental.

    So, in other words, if you want the [censored] go pay for it. I'm giving
    you the truth for free.
