I don’t believe in diets period nor do I even know my blood type but out of curiosity I did some light reading on this concept and am NOT convinced it’s legit based on what information is available on the internet.
1.) Sensibly, the specifics of Peter J. D’Adamo’s research is exclusive to his own publication or it wouldn’t sell, however, what I did find was that the claim is that the food we eat has a chemical reaction to our blood that varies by blood type causing some foods to be naturally incompatible with our bodies.
The Internet publishings provided little explanation beyond that statement, they mostly just get right to mapping out the categories and in what was provided the science seemed to overly complicate something simple though I’m no science genius.
2.) It doesn’t account for several individual dietary restrictions caused by conditions such as food allergies, diabetes, acid reflux nor ideals based on medical history such as a need for cholesterol control. Nor does it account for target weight.
There is also the necessity for protein. The categories restricting a great deal of meat are depriving the individual of natural protein.
3.) The blood type categorizing is in part ethnicity based which is absolutely absurd.
4.) Blood type isn’t black and white. Even two individuals with the same type have differences because they each got it from different genetic recipes based on their parents’ blood types. Let’s take the asker’s O+. That could have resulted from AO and BO, OO and BO, OO and AO or OO and OO parents. O also happens to be the universal donor and recipient. All bodies are compatible with O and Os are compatible with all types.
5.) Moderation of desired eating habits and exercise have shown more effective results that anything else probably because it accounts for the fact that every single body is different in more ways than one. Hence why I put my faith in it rather than any diet.
