Blood Type Diet

You have heard of the low-fat diets, the carb-cutting diets, and diets that require you to count your calories, but have you heard of a diet that determines what type of food you eat and suggests what type of exercise best suits you according to your blood type?

The Blood Type Diet offers different food items and exercise techniques that match with your genetics. This diet follows the theory that each blood type is different, naturally making each body type different. According to Dr. Peter D’Adamo, Type A does best with an organic and minimal meat diet. Type B benefits from a diet that does not include chicken but is replaced by game meats such as venison and rabbit. Type O responds best to a fish diet, particularly salt water. Finally, Type AB benefits from a seafood diet and some dairy products.

Because this diet is so individualized, it sounds like a feasible replacement to the diet crazes, right? Well, the majority of people decide to diet hoping to lose a couple of pounds in a short amount of time. After reading articles and comments of others who have attempted this type of diet, it seems that it may not be the best choice for them. This diet seems to be more of a lifestyle change than a quick tune-up for the body.
