Blood Type Diet information---

The Blood Type diet was devised by Peter J D'Adamo M.D and was popularized in the book 'Eat Right For Your Type'. The basic premise for this diet is that the four main blood groups each react in different ways to different foods. This is because humans evolved in different ways for the four different blood groups (O, A, B, and AB). For instance blood type A developed as humans domesticated animals and is therefore better suited to grains while type O is the hunter and requires meat in its diet and type B is suited to dairy products. This diet is not based on any scientific facts and there are glaring inconsistencies within the book with very little proof as to its conclusions. You would be lucky to lose any weight as a type A, B, or AB diet. If however you were type O then you would be following a low carbohydrate high protein diet and the diet would result in weight loss. The type O diet has all the health risks associated with a low carb diet like the Atkins diet.

Blood Type Diet : Reasons for
Weight loss is likely to result with all blood types due to restricting food intake
Type O diet relies on proven diet principles
Blood Type Diet : Reasons against
Difficult information on each type to remember
Impractical for a family of different blood types
No scientific basis
Nutrient deficiencies for most types
For type O read the Atkins diet reasons for/against

Blood Type Diet : Verdict
The Blood Type diet is an interesting but flawed diet that is not based on sound dieting principles. It may result in weight loss if followed correctly but there are many better diets to follow with a proven record and based on sound advice. The Blood type diet is a good example of style and marketing over substance.
