Diet by blood group: the essence of the diet, food table

According to physician Peter D'Adamo (USA), the blood type and genetic characteristics of each person greatly affect how the body absorbs nutrients. Based on his convictions, he developed weight loss programs called blood type diets.

In order for the body to function fully, a person must eat only those foods that suit him. If you refuse food incompatible with the blood group, then all organ systems will work much better, the intestines will be cleansed, which will lead to a decrease in body weight. Of course, provided that the weight was really overweight.

The first book, which was written by Peter D'Adamo, appeared in the world in the last century (1997). Then several more volumes were published, which reflected the concept of the doctor "4 blood groups - 4 paths to health" ("Eat Right 4 Your Type"). All volumes received public approval and became a guide to action for hundreds of thousands of Americans. Many began to follow his recommendations, including those people who have problems with weight.

The popularity of the publications was gaining momentum every day. Not surprisingly, after just a few years, Doctor D'Adamo was recognized as the leading nutritionist in his country. He opened his own clinic, which is located in the city of Portsmouth. Many famous personalities have become clients of the doctor. Stars such as Oprah Winfrey, Demi Moore, Miranda Kerr openly talk about their adherence to blood type nutrition.

The essence of the blood type diet

• All people are divided into 4 types: in Russia there are 1, 2, 3, and 4 blood groups, and in the USA the gradation looks somewhat different. The ABO scale is recognized there. O is blood group 1, A is group 2, B is group 3, AB is group 4.

• All people need to eat differently. It's best to only choose foods that match your blood type. If you do not follow these recommendations, then multiple health problems arise, including obesity. Its main reason is the inability of the body at the genetic level to assimilate food that is not suitable for it. The blood type diet also refers to foods that can be eaten by all people as they are neutral. However, they need to be eaten in small quantities.
• Physical activity should correspond to the blood type. If the owners of the first blood group are more suitable for running and strength exercises, then people with the second blood group should do moderately, for example, yoga.
• The diet involves the intake of vitamins and minerals, depending on the blood group. They are needed to maintain normal health.
• There is a certain set of foods that the diet prohibits people with any blood type. For example, this applies to baked goods, sugar, fast food, soda. Dr. Peter D'Adamo considers them 100% unnatural to the human body. If you remove everything unnatural from the diet, then getting rid of excess weight will not be difficult. After all, the calorie content of the menu will be significantly reduced.

• It is necessary to develop the correct eating habits in yourself. You should always think about the quality of the food that enters the stomach. If you adhere to this principle, then after a short period of time harmful products will completely disappear from the menu. Along with them, extra pounds will go away.
• Without adequate physical activity, you will not be able to lose weight. With exercise, you can lose weight faster, as the body will more easily control hunger. This, in turn, will help prevent overeating.

In a blood group diet, a person will not find recommendations regarding a specific amount of food that can be eaten at a time or per day. The doctor does not force people to eat by the hour, because this can lead to feelings of hunger. It is important to correctly compose the menu, this will allow the body to control appetite. He will appear when the time is right. A blood type diet is not a dietary restriction, but a new approach to your eating behavior. The system allows you to review your eating habits and improve your health.

As the reviews from people who followed the blood type diet show, it is not possible to get rid of extra pounds right away. For this, time must pass - at least 6 months. After all, this technique, by and large, is not a diet for weight loss, but only a program of proper and healthy nutrition. In addition, Peter D'Adamo himself does not give any guarantees that a person will lose weight. However, the doctor notes that his diet can be used by people suffering from obesity and diseases of the digestive system. It allows you to improve your well-being and get rid of many health problems.

Diet for 1 blood group "Hunter"

The author of the diet conventionally calls people with the first blood group hunters. This blood group is the most ancient; in the process of evolution, other groups originated from it. Worldwide, people with the first blood group are about 33.5%. People with such blood are considered strong and self-sufficient, have the qualities of a leader. In America, they are classified as type O (first group).

The main characteristics of the "hunters":

• Strong immune and digestive system. The body is designed for high-quality metabolism, has a high ability to extract nutrients (carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats and other biological elements necessary for the functioning of cells).
• Weak ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, to innovations in the usual diet. Allergy tendency (strong immunity can attack the body's own cells).
• People-hunters are prone to diseases such as arthritis (inflammation of the joints), stomach and duodenal ulcers (due to increased acidity of gastric juice), allergies. Violations in the process of hemocoagulation are possible.

People with the first blood group are shown to take vitamins and minerals such as manganese, potassium, iodine, as well as vitamin K, vitamins of group B. It is possible to take pancreatic enzymes. It is worth giving up the additional intake of vitamins A and E.

People belonging to the category of "hunters" must comply with the following recommendations:

• To start the metabolic processes in full force and with their help get rid of excess weight, it is necessary to exclude all wheat-based products from the menu. The same applies to legumes, corn, lentils. As a result, nothing will interfere with the normal production of insulin, and the metabolism will accelerate.
• You should refuse any cabbage except broccoli. The same goes for all oat-based dishes. After entering the body, they interfere with the normal production of thyroid hormones, and the metabolism slows down.
• All products that contain iodine must be on the menu. For example, seaweed, spinach, seafood. Salt the dishes with salt enriched with iodine.
• To normalize the thyroid gland, you need to include foods such as radishes, radishes and daikon in your diet. You can put them through the juicer along with the carrots.
• Eating red meat and liver allows you to accelerate metabolism.

You need to do active sports. As for the use of medications, it is worth taking acetylsalicylic acid with extreme caution.

Diet on the 2nd blood group "Farmer"

The author of the diet conditionally calls the owners of the second blood group "farmers". In America, they are classified as type A. This blood group appeared a little later than the first group, when people began to roam less. Worldwide, about 37.8% of people have exactly the second blood group. Representatives of “farmers” have such personal qualities as constancy, quick adaptation in a new team, and composure.

The main characteristics of "farmers":

• Ability to quickly adapt to changing environmental conditions. Good adaptation to dietary changes.
• When eating foods of plant origin (vegetarianism), the digestive system and immunity will function perfectly.
• The digestive organs are quite sensitive, the immune system does not sufficiently resist infectious diseases. The nervous system is not always stable.
• Diseases such as anemia, liver and gallbladder pathologies, oncology, heart problems, diabetes are not excluded.

Farmers are advised to take iron, selenium, chromium, calcium and zinc. Vitamins C, E, B are good for people with the second blood group. Preparations containing bifidobacteria are useful.

"Farmers" must observe the following recommendations:

• Give up meat (except for turkey and chicken), since the acidity of gastric juice in people with blood group 2 is lowered. This greatly complicates the process of digesting proteins.
• Meat does not give "farmers" energy, does not accelerate, but slows down metabolic processes. Therefore, fat begins to accumulate.
• Switching to a vegetarian diet will help normalize the immune system.
• You cannot eat spicy foods (pepper, vinegar, ketchup), tomatoes are prohibited. You should refuse from fruits and berries with acid. Mayonnaise is not suitable for people with the second blood group, you can not add hot spices to food. You also need to give up salted fish, cucumbers, cabbage (with the exception of broccoli), potatoes. It is allowed to eat carrots, onions and garlic.
• All fermented milk drinks (dairy ones are worse) are well absorbed by the body, you can network low-fat cheeses, feta cheese and cottage cheese.
• To make up for the protein deficiency, it is necessary to give preference to soy products.
• You can eat eggs.
• Chocolate and sugar are allowed, but in limited quantities.

Diet for 3 blood group "Nomad"

The author refers people with the third blood group to the group of "nomads". There are about 20.6% of such representatives all over the world. In the process of evolution, the population was divided into several races, as a result of which the third blood group (type B) arose. They are distinguished by good immunity and are able to eat almost any food. The nervous system of such people is very stable.

The main characteristics of nomads:

• Stable immunity, quick adaptation to changes in the menu, high adaptability to changing environmental conditions.
• If the "nomads" strongly deviate from the diet, then the development of autoimmune diseases is possible. Such people are susceptible to rare infections.
• The development of diseases such as multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases is possible.

People with the third blood group are shown to take magnesium, licorice and lecithin.

"Nomads" must adhere to the following recommendations:

• In order not to gain extra pounds, you need to stop eating buckwheat, corn and peanuts. Don't eat sesame grains. If these conditions are not met, insulin is produced poorly, which leads to a slowdown in metabolic processes, increased fatigue, and obesity.
• Do not get carried away with wheat, as it slows down the metabolic rate. Moreover, you cannot combine it with other prohibited cereals, which will only aggravate the situation.

Diet for 4 blood group "Mixed type"

The author of the diet classifies representatives of the 4th blood group as a mixed type. There are no more than 8% of such people in the world. They have low immunity, a weak digestive system. A mixed diet of "nomads" and "hunters" is suitable for such people.

Characteristics of people of "mixed type":

• The immunity, although very flexible, is at the same time susceptible to various infections. There are strengths of both "nomads" and "hunters".
• The digestive system is rather weak.
• There are risks of developing diseases such as anemia, oncology, heart disease. People with blood group 4 are shown taking vitamin C, zinc, selenium, hawthorn, valerian, echinacea.

If a person has a 4 blood group, then he must adhere to the following recommendations:

• The acidity of the gastric juice may be reduced, but nature has programmed such people to eat meat (mixed type A and type B). Therefore, despite the fact that you can eat meat, the body will not be able to fully break down it. As a result, excess weight will accumulate.
• To prevent obesity, you need to eat as much tofu and vegetables as possible.
• People with a mixed type are advised to give up the use of corn, buckwheat, legumes.
• It is possible that a strong weight gain from wheat in people of a mixed type will not occur, however, it must be consumed in limited quantities.

Do Rhesus Positive and Negative Factors Affect Diet?

In the vast majority of cases, people have a positive blood Rh factor. It is negative only in 17% of people around the world. It is worth noting that there will be no difference in diet for them. The menu is selected exclusively by blood type.

Nutritionist reviews

Two large studies (UK, 2011, and Canada, 2014) showed that there is no relationship between diet and blood type. The first experiment involved 14,000 women, and the second 1,500 people of different sexes. No significant weight loss or health improvement was observed in any group.

Nutritionist Lyudmila Denisenko claims that until now there is not a single scientific confirmation that there is a relationship between the blood group and the food consumed. She believes that in this case, the Rh factor must also influence the diet.

L. Denisenko points out that not a single protein enters the blood in a pure form, since in the digestive tract they are all broken down to amino acids. Therefore, the blood simply cannot “recognize” which protein has entered it (vegetable or animal).

In addition, each person has his own daily routine, people exist in different climatic conditions (some live in the Tundra, while others in the tropics), so there can be no single diet by blood group either.

However, the described diet has some positive aspects:

• It is not required to count kilocalories;
• There are no sweets, pastries, sugar and fast food on the menu, which in itself allows you to lose weight and improve your health;
• There are recommendations for doing physical exercise;
• The diet is fairly balanced.

According to L. Denisenko, the proposed diet will allow you to lose weight only due to the fact that a person will limit himself to sugar and begin to play sports. Therefore, such a diet will not harm health.

Another doctor of the highest category and well-known nutritionist Rimma Moiseenko emphasizes that it is impossible to find a universal diet for all people on the planet with a common blood group. For example, if the "farmer" has gluten intolerance, and the "hunter" has gout, then what about this? The question is rhetorical.

However, the doctor does not strongly oppose the blood type diet, calling it useful. After all, it prohibits the use of alcohol, coffee, sugar, fatty foods. Ultimately, this will definitely lead to weight loss.
