Blood type diet: does it work for weight loss? The answer is: only if you are lucky. Because alas it has nothing scientific, as you will find out in this article.

DIET OF THE BLOOD GROUP: THE STORY

It was 1997, when a naturopath named Peter J. D’Adamo published a book entitled “ Eat right for your type “. In the book he put forward the thesis that men differ in their dietary needs based on their blood type. And that they should eat accordingly to get better and lose weight.

Depending on your blood type, your immune system changes, reacting well or badly to certain foods. It is clear that in the second case, that is, if he reacts badly, foods make you fat.

And even in this case, as with the Dukan diet , there are a lot of supporters around, but many more detractors.
Especially scientifically speaking.

For example, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the scientific journal Plos One , which published a recent Canadian study that rejects the diet .

Yes, there is no scientific evidence that the blood type diet should work at all.

What about people who say they lost weight on this diet?

According to the study , those who lost weight following the blood type diet did not do so because the diet worked, but because the proposed regimen for that blood type was low-carb or high-vegetable, for example.
Yes, you got it right. People who lost weight on the blood type diet got lucky.

From here to say that the diet works because it is reliable it passes us.
It depends on what dietary regimen you find yourself on.
In short, it depends on whether you are lucky too.

Because there is no scientific evidence to support this thesis that if you are AB positive or 0 you have to eat one way or another. Clear?

But what does the blood type diet consist of?

I know that if you arrived here it is not to be dismantled, but to have some useful information and to try. I satisfy you. Among the advocates of the blood type diet is Dr. Mozzi, who wrote this book . He is talked about here .

BLOOD GROUP DIET: HOW IT WORKS

First you need to know what your blood type is , then find your corresponding diet regimen.

1. BLOOD GROUP A : in short, you don’t have to eat either meat or dairy products (not even milk), but eggs and fish, white meats. No to tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes. Even wheat flour (the normal one, in short) is a tragedy for you. Opt for a vegetarian diet with fish and soy cheeses.
2. B : this is nice. Yes to dairy products and lean meats except chicken. Basically you are omnivorous but you don’t have to eat lentils, corn, wheat and wheat. Rice yes. No to shellfish.
3. AB : Here too, you are omnivorous. But do not get caught up in mad joy. Avoid red meats, butter, corn, buckwheat. Lots of fruit except dried fruit.
4. ZERO: You no carbohydrates or almost. No to pasta, bread, potatoes, corn. I know, it’s bad luck. The good news is that you can indulge in meat, seafood, oily fish. No to cured meats and pork.
   Done. If all this convinces you, you could buy the book.
   If you go on this diet and it doesn’t work for you, well, console yourself, science is on your side . 

   If this diet works, I’ll introduce you to my friends who do the blood type diet, so you go to the movies and the gym together.
