Diet according to blood type

The blood group diet was first proposed by the American naturopath Peter D'Adamo. His theory states that each blood type determines the resistance of the human body to various diseases. There are useful, neutral and harmful products for each of the 4 main groups. By sticking to an optimal nutrition system, you can lose weight according to your blood type, increase your immunity and significantly strengthen your body.

However, there is no scientific evidence for this theory. Compiled by a naturopath, according to many experienced doctors.

Essence and principles

There are 4 main blood groups. Peter D'Adamo divided them as follows:

1. The first is the oldest that everyone else has gone to. He called such people "Hunters". It is owned by about 32% of the world's population. These people have a strong immune system, practically no problems in the gastrointestinal tract. They are also prone to a fast metabolism. However, they have difficulty rebuilding their bodies for new diets. In order to constantly saturate the body with protein, their diet should be rich in meat dishes.
2. The second - allegedly appeared at a time when people began to cultivate the land. Therefore, the owners of this group were called "Farmers". There are about 40% of the world's population. Such people have adaptive immunity. Get used to a quick landscape change. Common problems in people with this blood type are disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver and gallbladder. For blood group 2 owners, you should limit the use of animal fats and increase the amount of plant fiber.
3. Third - the owners took part in the first and second parts. They are called "nomads". There are about 20% of such people in the world. Representatives have strong immunity, but often suffer from problems with the heart and blood vessels. They are characterized by oncological diseases. The diet should be balanced. You can't give up anything for sure.
4. The fourth is the rarest and newest. Their representatives are called "New People". There are no more than 8% of them anywhere on the planet. Weakness of the gastrointestinal tract, problems with the kidneys, gallbladder, urogenital system. Different cancers are possible. It is necessary to dilute the dishes with seafood and exclude fatty meats.

The principles are based on specific blood group foods. The first is characterized by increased consumption of heavy foods. These are mainly pork, beef, lamb, veal and chicken.

Representatives of the latter should reduce the consumption of animal fats and proteins, as well as add large amounts of greens and vegetables to the diet.

For the third, you need a mixed meal. The diet should consist of 60% plant and 40% animal food. They need to be careful not to eat foods that contain lactose.

The rarest, fourth, has many limitations. Such people should reduce animal and plant foods and dilute their diet with seafood and dairy products.

The diet should be based on foods that are considered beneficial for a particular blood group. Neutral use is also allowed. But the harmful ones need to be partially abandoned. If the daily food intake is chosen correctly, the human body will reach the optimal weight and stand there.

This is not a diet in the usual sense, but a long-term meal plan. A period of at least 6 months must be observed to achieve a significant effect.

Pros and cons

As with any long-term dietary change, the Peter D'Adam method has its pros and cons.

Pros:

1. Fraction food. You need to eat in small portions at least 5 times a day. According to most gastroenterologists and nutritionists, this is the optimal regimen.
2. The ration prepared for each group has the correct BJU ratio. And it balances it thanks to the allowed fruits and vegetables.
3. Most fruits and vegetables should be eaten raw. As a result, the amount of food entering the body increases.
4. Permitted heat treatment methods are cooking, steaming and baking. Only by using them you can restore the function of the gastrointestinal tract.
5. You can further diversify your menu without any strict restrictions on any product.
6. In addition to helping people with different blood types to lose weight, this diet also reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, diabetes and malignant neoplasms.

To make the effect more effective, it should be combined with exercise and frequent walks in the fresh air.

Tip! Peter D'Adamo recommends the proposed system not only for overweight people, but also for various nervous system disorders, problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

However, like other diets, there are certain disadvantages. This is because the human body is a unique structure. And what suits one person may be harmful to another.

Cons:

1. Lack of scientific confirmation of the proposed theory. It also contradicts modern notions of dietetics.
2. If the body does not have any vitamins or trace elements, Peter D'Adamo recommends supplementing them with biologically active additives (dietary supplements). This approach has not been approved by most scientists and physicians. This is due to the fact that the effectiveness of dietary supplements has not been proven and the indicator for their use speaks of the inadequacy of the diet.
3. There is no guarantee that a person can lose weight.

Cooking methods

The main cooking methods suitable for a blood type diet are baking, boiling and steaming. In all three cases, the food retains most of the vitamins and minerals.

When cooking, you should follow one rule: the more water you pour and the longer you cook, the less food you get after cooking.

When baking bread, you need to replace a tray that will drain the oil from the bottom of the pan. Thus, you can significantly reduce the calorie content.
