3 basic principles of blood type nutrition

Blood can tell a lot about a person, because it is essentially the carrier of life and destiny. Did you know that there is even a diet based on blood type, which was very fashionable at the time? Some fat people are still interested in it and study the list of allowed products.

Diet according to blood type for those who want to lose weight

It should be said right away that this technique has been criticized more than once by doctors and has no scientific basis. But a warning is armed, so let's try to find out everything about this diet.

The history of the diet

Once upon a time, people believed that everyone had the same blood. Do you remember the fairy tale about Mowgli? "You and I are of the same blood - you and I! "But soon, after trying to share his blood with the sick and wounded, a theory emerged that the blood was actually different.

Many scientific studies and experiments with animals and people were carried out, but only in 1900 did Karl Landsteiner discover three blood types, and a little later his students discovered the fourth.

Currently, the world has adopted an alphanumeric classification:

  • Oh or me - first;
  • A (II) - second;
  • B (III) – third;
  • AB (IV) - fourth.

The most common blood types on earth are the first and second blood types. Its carriers are 80% of all humanity. The third is less common, 15% have it, and the fourth is considered the rarest and is only represented by 5%.

The American naturopath Peter D'Adamo proposed at the end of the twentieth century that if some human diseases are directly related to genetic characteristics and often depend on blood type, then it is likely that nutrition according to blood type is also possible. He inquired about the preferences for certain foods of each of his patients and compiled the correct diet for each group. All products were divided into useful, undesirable and neutral.

D'Adamo has written several books on diet. They were a hit with American readers and became bestsellers. Then his idea of "4 blood groups - 4 ways to health" spread around the world and everyone who wanted to lose weight rushed to try the new diet.

Basic rules and regulations

Nutrition by blood type comes down to the following.

  • At each stage of human development there was a certain diet, when it changed the blood mutated and a new group appeared. And therefore, for each group there is a basic set of products.
  • To keep your body in good shape, you need to eat like your ancestors did with a certain blood type. Thanks to the biochemical relationship between blood and food, the "right" food is better absorbed, digested faster, increases metabolism and strengthens the immune system.
  • If you exclude "wrong" foods from your diet, you can improve your body's performance, promote health and prolong life.

An example is moving to another habitat or even tourism, when the local unusual cuisine is not accepted by the body and health problems begin.

If a northerner, who has been eating a high protein diet all his life, decides to move to Europe with his high carbohydrate diet, there is a high risk of diabetes and digestive problems.

You don't even have to go far for an example, look around. Some people hate milk, others prefer plant-based foods, and others simply get hungry if they don't eat a large piece of meat. Is this perhaps not without reason?

General dining table for all groups

Let's get to know the research of Dr. D'Adamo, who divided foods according to blood type, highlights forbidden, permissible and neutral.

There are 4 blood types - A, B, AB, O

Diet according to blood type 1

The most common in the world is the first positive blood type. Most often it is found among Eastern Slavs and Indians.

Those with the first blood type are hunters who base their diet on meat

People with the first blood type are universal donors, that is, this blood type is suitable for absolutely everyone. By the way, mosquitoes prefer the first blood group more than any other.

Characteristics of feeding behavior (hunter, carnivore)

Absolutely all ancient people who lived in a primitive social system had the first blood type, and all the rest happened due to mutations.

Now remember the history of antiquity, archaeological excavations and the results of scientists - 40, 000 years ago, primitive people lived by hunting and gathering. Their main diet consisted of meat, meat and more meat, and only then roots, herbs and those few edible fruits and berries that grew wild in the forest.

Thus, the owners of the first group carry the genes of the most ancient hunters, and their bodies at the genetic level require as much protein as possible. Unfortunately, the diet is the worst. If you decide on such a diet, then you will have to give up a large number of your favorite foods.

A diet for the first blood group includes meat, fish and vegetables. It is better not to consume milk and its derivatives at all.

Diet according to blood type 2

The diet of people with blood type II should consist of vegetables and fruits.

No less common group. It is literally a few hundred years younger than the first one and was created through mutations after the ancient hunters decided to settle in a fixed place and do agricultural work.

People with blood type O produce more of the hormone cortisol, which helps deal with stress. In addition, they are, unfortunately, prone to alcoholism.

Characteristics of eating behavior (farmer)

25, 000 years ago, meat-eating hunter-gatherers learned to cultivate the land and receive its gifts. This is the beginning of the development of agricultural life. People began to build settlements, cultivate fields, plant crops and vegetables.

There was less protein food, animals moved away from people and it became harder to get meat.

Sometimes the second blood group is called "vegetarians". Most of its speakers live in Europe.

The diet of people with the second blood type should include vegetarian dishes, fish, poultry and dairy products. But it is advisable to give up coffee, beans and meat.

Diet according to blood type 3

People with the third blood type can consume dairy products without restrictions.

The third group is quite rare and is more characteristic of Asian peoples - they were famous in the old days for huge herds of livestock - horses, cows, goats and sheep. Of course they had to travel from place to place to feed the animals.

Peculiarities of eating behavior (nomads)

As soon as milk and dairy products began to actively enter the diet, and this happened about 10, 000 years ago, the blood mutated again.

The largest number of people with the third blood group live in Asia - these are hereditary nomads.

This type of people are the luckiest - they have almost no restrictions, they are omnivores. It is necessary to exclude semi-finished products, smoked meat and alcohol.

Diet according to blood type 4

Natural food is a priority for those with the fourth blood type

The fourth group was created by mixing the second and third groups after people started living in large settlements and cities.

People with blood type IV are more likely to develop senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease. But they are also universal plasma donors, which is very valuable in treating burns.

Peculiarities of eating behavior (mystery)

This blood is the youngest, its age does not exceed two thousand years. It is truly unique in its composition and is resistant to autoimmune and allergic diseases.

These people have a mixed type of diet; there are quite a few dietary restrictions. But it is advisable for them to eat as much natural organic food as possible.

Does the Rh factor affect nutrition?

From school, we know that there are four blood types in total, and taking into account the Rh factor, their number doubles. It was first discovered after research on rhesus monkeys, hence its name. The Rh factor can be positive and is called (Rh+) or negative (Rh-). It indicates the presence or absence of an antigen (protein) found on the surface of red blood cells (erythrocytes).

But in fact, the division of blood into only four groups is arbitrary - if we take into account all the properties of blood, there will be many more. D'Adamo ignores this fact.

D'Adamo's famous book does not mention the effect of the Rh factor at all. Since more than 80% of the world's population has a positive Rh factor, the diet is designed specifically for these people.

Contraindications for diet

Without prior consultation with the doctor, people with the following diseases are prohibited from following a diet on their own:

  • diabetes;
  • chronic digestive problems;
  • hematopoietic disorder;
  • ARVI.

In addition, if any illness has worsened, it is also not recommended to go on any diet until you feel better.

Do not experiment on yourself under any circumstances during pregnancy or breastfeeding; remember that you are not only responsible for your life but also for the child.

Reviews of those who lose weight

  • "This is an ideal diet for people who have no health problems. But if you are overweight, there are all kinds of diseases in advance, so the diet stops working. Of course, it is convenient that there is a wide selection of products, but this method did not suit me - the doctor forbade all products that were allowed on the table to eat. It turns out that the tablet is almost 90% against the doctor's advice. "
  • "I don't have a medical degree, but I clearly see big disadvantages - the diet is completely unscientific. "One of them is that people with the second group should rely on a vegetarian diet, and those with the third and fourth are omnivores, but they are precisely descended from the second. In general, I won't even try. "
  • "In a few months I lost 10 kg! The blood type diet is very cool, it's easy to lose weight. I think you can stay on this diet for the rest of your life. I recommend this great diet to anyone who wants to lose weight! "
  • "The blood type diet is utter nonsense. Don't torture yourself with these healthy, harmful and neutral products. Eat everything in moderation, without excesses. If you want something sweet, eat 1-2 candies, not a whole chocolate bar; if you want bread, cut off a piece and eat it, but do not starve yourself.
  • "I showed the approved products for the second blood group at work - the whole team laughed, wiped tears and ate meat cutlets (yes, yes, half of our team is "farmers"). Honestly, I have never seen a more stupid and completely unacceptable diet! "

Opinions and criticism of doctors

The blood test diet was not approved by doctors. After all, each person is so individual that it is necessary to conduct complex studies and have data on more than sixty specific genes that are responsible for endocrine and enzyme activity, and only then create a diet. And the blood type in this case is too generalizing a factor and cannot be responsible for the correctness of the menu of a particular person.

Doctors believe it is necessary to do research before going on a diet

Thus, doctors clearly believe that D'Adamo's theory has no scientific basis, has been little studied but does not cause particular harm. And in some cases, it even helps stimulate the body and activate a faster metabolism.

In addition, D'Adamo considered truly harmful products among the forbidden foods for all blood groups - sausages and smoked meats, commercial sauces, ice cream, carbonated drinks, alcohol and some others.

Well, don't forget the placebo effect - a person believes and loses weight.

The pros and cons of the diet

Pros:

  • huge list of allowed products;
  • easy to carry;
  • ability to create a varied and balanced menu;
  • you can stick with it for a long time.

Cons:

  • there is no clear plan on how, when and in what quantities to consume certain products;
  • the diet has no scientific basis, all conclusions are too general;
  • another profitable business for nutritionists and of course the creator himself.

Conclusion

As practice shows, some people were actually able to lose weight on this diet. But they note that the results don't last - the weight always comes back. So you have to eat right almost all your life.
