Diet according to blood type

Nutrition is based on the principles of naturopathic physician James D’Adamo, who stated that blood type and human nutrition are closely interrelated. Blood type nutrition is based on the postulate that during human evolution, blood composition changes and is closely related to the type of food consumed by the vast majority of the population in a given period of time.

While there is certain logic in this statement, there is no evidence -based scientific basis for separate diets by blood group. Some ideas on the correspondence of food products for people with different blood groups are given by the table below for foods by blood group.

Diet for 1 blood group

The diet for 1 positive blood group is based on the inclusion in the diet of mainly products containing proteins of animal origin.

It is not recommended to consume chocolate, ice cream, strong coffee, cola, black tea.

Dietary recommendations for people with this blood group are given regardless of whether they have Rh factor positive or negative. The diet for the first Rh-positive blood group was similar to the diet for the Rh-negative blood group.

Opinions and results of blood type diet

Nutrition by blood group, as evidenced by reviews of individuals who practice this diet, has caused a lot of controversy, both in terms of evidence of this theory and in practical application. Therefore, it is difficult to draw unambiguous conclusions. Opinions of people who use this diet differ: some manage to lose extra weight, while others do not change their weight.
