Blood Type Diet Food
Our Reviewer Says ...
"All four of the diets [in this plan] require you to abide by lists, shunning many foods that are otherwise healthy."
What You Can Eat
By Karen Asp
All four plans on the Blood Type Diet (for types O, A, B and AB) have different food requirements which are broken into three categories: highly beneficial (the food is like a medicine), neutral (the food can be enjoyed without positive or negative consequences) or avoid (the food acts like a poison).
Type O individuals, for instance, are encouraged to eat a diet high in animal protein (i.e. lean red meats and poultry) but limited in dairy products, grains (especially wheat) and legumes. Type A's, on the other hand, are advised to follow a vegetarian diet, consuming beans, legumes, cereals, vegetables, fruits and small amounts of dairy products but eliminating all meats. Meanwhile, the type B diet encourages meat (but not chicken), dairy products, all fruits, most vegetables, some beans, no nuts or seeds and no wheat. And those on the type AB diet are allowed to eat some meat, some dairy products, limited wheat products and most fruits and vegetables.
