The method of feeding by blood groups was developed by the American doctor Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the effectiveness of its use by the body is directly related to the genetic characteristics of man. Namely with his blood type. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person must eat foods that correspond to the blood type, in other words, those that his ancestors ate in ancient times. Eliminating substances incompatible with blood from the diet reduces toxins in the body, improves the functioning of internal organs and promotes weight loss. Consumption of the same "foreign" products leads to body slag and rapid increase in body fat.
The theory of blood type nutrition has provoked heated discussions among doctors, which have not subsided so far. Based on D'Adamo's technique, various blood type diets have been developed, which have recently become very modern. How do D'Adamo say people with different blood types should eat?
Food according to the first blood group
People who have 1 blood type (0) and are called "hunters" should be based on animal protein and refuse bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood type 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with first blood type are consumers of meat with a constant digestive tract, overactive immune system and poor adaptation to new diets. The hunters' digestive tract 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 that should be limited
Dairy products, cheese, cottage cheese, fatty meats, especially pork, pasta and other flour products, potatoes, strawberries, tangerines, oranges, melons, avocados, corn and peanut butter, olives.
Foods for weight gain
Wheat, corn, beans, beans, cabbage, cauliflower.
Foods for weight loss
Red meat, liver, seafood.
Nutrition according to the second blood group
Representatives of the 2nd blood group (A) - "farmers" - are recommended vegetarian food.
The emergence of blood group 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 the second blood group should exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of the "hunters" the meat is burned as fuel, then in the "farmers" it turns into fat. They also poorly digest dairy foods. But "farmers" can eat a variety of natural products low in fat, vegetables and grains.
Especially useful products
Seafood in moderation, soy, beans, beans, buckwheat, rice, artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapples.
Foods that should be limited
Wheat bread, potatoes, apricots, blueberries, ketchup, mayonnaise. It is advisable to completely exclude meat and meat products from the diet.
Foods for weight gain
Meat, dairy products, beans, wheat.
Foods for weight loss
Vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables, pineapples.
Nutrition according to the third blood group
Blood type 3 (B) emerged when human tribes began migrating north to a harsh climate. That's why the owners of the third blood group call D'Adamo "nomads". They have a strong immune system and can choose food more freely than people with blood type 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, tomatoes and pomegranate are contraindicated in people with third blood group, all dairy products are useful, fish, lamb, rabbit and linseed oil.
Especially useful products
Lamb, rabbit, mackerel, cod, flounder, goat's milk cheese, olive oil, oatmeal, rice, parsley, cabbage, pineapple, plums.
Foods that should be limited
Goose meat, chicken, beef, pork, heart, shrimp, anchovies, lobster, eel, sunflower, peanut and corn oil, buckwheat, rye bread, tomatoes, pomegranate, paradise apple.
Foods for weight gain
Corn, lentils, peanuts, buckwheat, sesame.
Foods for weight loss
Red meat, liver, liver, low-fat dairy products, green vegetables, eggs.
Nutrition according to the fourth blood group
Blood type 4 (AB) appeared less than a thousand years ago as a result of mixing other groups. Hence the name: "new people". People with blood type IV respond quickly to changes in the environment and diet. They have a sensitive digestive tract and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to stay in shape is to combine intellectual work with light physical activity.
The basis of the diet of the owners of the fourth blood group should be fat-free foods with yogurt, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The set of extra pounds is influenced by mixed heredity. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups should 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. But thanks to the A-ancestors, their body accepts lentils and peanuts well. In contrast, people with AB respond well to wheat.
Especially useful products
Lamb, turkey, cod, mackerel, dairy products, corn oil, oatmeal, wheat bread, green greens, blueberries, pineapples.
Foods that should be limited
Beef, bacon, duck, flounder, crab, salmon, whole milk, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, beans, buckwheat, radishes, avocados, bananas, pomegranates.
Foods for weight gain
Red meat, beans, corn, buckwheat, wheat.
Foods for weight loss
Seafood (excluding canned, dried, dried and smoked), soybeans, dairy products, green vegetables, pineapples.
A little conclusion
Above are the foods that are specific to the diet for each blood type. However, each of us has his own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food, choosing a diet by blood type, you must take into account not only the general recommendations, but also your individuality, in the first place - the origin and blood group of ancestors.
Doctors have not yet reached a consensus on how effective blood type nutrition is, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be the least valid. For people suffering from any chronic diseases, blood type nutrition should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
