The method of nutrition by blood groups was developed by the American doctor Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the efficiency of its use by the body is directly related to the genetic characteristics of a person. Namely, with his blood type. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person should eat food that corresponds to the blood type, in other words, the one that his ancestors ate in ancient times. Removing substances incompatible with blood from the diet reduces slag in the body, improves the work of internal organs and promotes weight loss. Consumption of the same "foreign" products leads to body poisoning and rapid growth of body fat.
The theory of nutrition by blood groups has provoked heated debates among doctors, which have not subsided so far. Based on D'Adamo's technique, different diets have been developed by blood type, which have recently become very modern. How, according to D’Adam, should people with different blood types eat?
Food by first blood type
People who have 1 blood group (0) and are called "hunters" should be based on animal proteins, and refuse bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood group 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with the first blood group are meat consumers with a persistent digestive tract, an overactive immune system and poor adaptation to a new diet. The digestive tract of the "hunters" has not yet adapted to dairy products and cereals.
Especially useful products
Lean meat (lamb, beef), salmon, cod, pike, olive oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, beets, figs.
Foods to be restricted
Dairy products, cheeses, cottage cheese, fatty meats, especially pork, pasta and other flour products, potatoes, strawberries, tangerines, oranges, melons, avocados, corn and peanut butter, olives.
Weight loss foods
Wheat, corn, beans, beans, cabbage, cauliflower.
Weight loss foods
Red meat, liver, seafood.
Diet according to another blood group
Representatives of the 2nd blood group (A) - "farmers" - are recommended vegetarian food.
The emergence of blood type 2 (A) is associated with the transition of people to agriculture. The owners of the second blood group are vegetarians with a sensitive digestive tract. They need environmentally friendly natural food. People with another blood type must exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of "hunters" meat is burned as fuel, then the "farmer" turns into fat. They also poorly assimilate dairy foods. But "farmers" can eat a variety of low-fat natural products, vegetables and grains.
Especially useful products
Seafood in moderation, soy, beans, beans, buckwheat, rice, artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapple.
Foods to be restricted
Wheat bread, potatoes, apricots, cranberries, ketchup, mayonnaise. It is advisable to completely exclude meat and meat products from the diet.
Weight loss foods
Meat, dairy products, beans, wheat.
Weight loss foods
Vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables, pineapple.
Diet according to the third blood group
Blood type 3 (B) appeared when human tribes began migrating north, to an area with a harsh climate. Therefore, the owners of the third blood group are called "nomads" by D'Adamo. They have a strong immune system, and they choose food more freely than people with blood types 1 and 2. "Nomads" are the main consumers of milk. The harmonious combination of physical and mental activity will help them maintain their shape and good mood.
Soy, chicken, sunflower oil, tomato and pomegranate are contraindicated in people with the third blood group, all dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat and linseed oil are useful.
Especially useful products
Lamb, rabbit, mackerel, cod, flounder, goat's milk cheese, olive oil, oatmeal, rice, parsley, cabbage, pineapple, plums.
Foods to be restricted
Goose meat, chicken meat, beef, pork, heart, shrimp, anchovies, lobsters, eels, sunflower, peanuts and corn oil, buckwheat, rye bread, tomato, pomegranate, dates.
Weight loss foods
Corn, lentils, peanuts, buckwheat, sesame.
Weight loss foods
Red meat, liver, liver, low-fat dairy products, green vegetables, eggs.
Diet according to the fourth blood group
Blood type 4 (AB) appeared less than a thousand years ago as a result of a mixture of other groups. Hence the name: "new people". People with the fourth blood group react quickly to changes in the environment and diet. They have a sensitive digestive tract and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to keep fit is to combine intellectual work with light physical activity.
The basis of the diet of the owners of the fourth blood group should be sour-milk foods without fat, lamb, game, vegetables and fruits.
The set of extra pounds is influenced by mixed heritage. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups must limit the consumption of meat, combine it with vegetables. The legacy of B-ancestors is a negative insulin reaction to beans, corn, buckwheat and sesame seeds. But thanks to A-ancestors, their body accepts lentils and peanuts well. Unlike both, AB people respond well to wheat.
Especially useful products
Lamb, turkey, cod, mackerel, dairy products, corn oil, oatmeal, wheat bread, cabbage, cranberries, pineapple.
Foods to be restricted
Beef, bacon, duck, flounder, crabs, salmon, whole milk, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, beans, buckwheat, radishes, avocados, bananas, pomegranates.
Weight loss foods
Red meat, beans, corn, buckwheat, wheat.
Weight loss foods
Seafood (except canned, dried, dried and smoked), soy, dairy products, green vegetables, pineapple.
A small conclusion
The above are foods that are specific to the diet for each blood group. However, each of us has his own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food products, choosing a diet by blood type, one must take into account not only the general recommendations, but also their individuality, above all - the origin and blood group of ancestors.
Doctors have not yet reached a consensus on how effective a blood type diet is, although most nutritionists believe that this theory is at least valid. For people suffering from any chronic disease, the diet by blood type should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
