A Blood Type
People with blood type A are known as “cultivators.” Cultivators tilled the soil and planted crops. These people got most of their food from plant sources such as fruits and vegetables.
For those with blood type A, avoiding meat as much as possible and sticking with vegetables will give you the protein your body requires.
B Blood Type
Those with type B blood are “nomadic.” Nomads are people who wondered around never settled in any one place. The harshness of their travels helped to keep them strong.
Since they ate a variety of foods depending on where they stayed, their digestive systems tolerated different foods well. Again, according to this diet plan, this particular blood type group can eat dairy products with no problems.
AB Blood Type
The last blood grouping is AB. This group is classified as the “enigma.” Because this group is made up of both A and B blood components, they can presumably get by with eating plant sources of protein and dairy products. Their digestive systems are good and they can therefore consume a variety of foods.
One question, among many, that has arisen regarding the Blood Type diet is: How does it explain a lactose intolerant person with a blood type of B?
There are too many loopholes for this diet to be one that someone could follow to lose weight anytime they needed to.
Eating one food group only and eliminating others is a recipe for disaster because all food groups have merit for both nutrition, an for weight loss.
The key to most successful weight loss is managing portions of foods from each food group every day, and making sure you eat lean cuts of protein, limit the fat, and limit carb intake and overall calorie consumption.
Like a lot of fad diets, this is not well thought out but will appeal to people who have tried a lot of other diets, and get desperate when one fails, and are eager to try another.
