About the diet
You may have heard about the diet from a friend or relative, or read about the Blood Type Diet in one of the popular magazines. Many people try the Blood Type Diet in the hopes of enhancing their overall health or fighting a particular disease. Many use the diet as a way of achieving their ideal weight. These are all very good reasons as over the years many people have used the Blood Type Diet to accomplish these goals.
Blood type, with its digestive and immune specificity, is a window on a person's probable susceptibility to or power over disease, according to Dr. D'Adamo. While you cannot change your blood type, you can use knowledge about its nature to implement a dietary plan biologically suited to your makeup, says Dr. D'Adamo, who supplies copious details on eating plans for all four types. "Most of my patients experience some results [within two weeks of starting the diet plan]-increased energy, weight loss, a lessening of digestive complaints, and improvement of chronic conditions such as asthma, headaches, and heartburn.."
Over several decades, researchers have identified over 1,000 common foods that contain powerful proteins called lectins. Here's the key: These food lectins become active and important for you when they interact with your blood type.
For example, after consuming any number of foods containing wheat, both blood types O and A can experience bloating and other digestive problems. This may be more than a simple "food intolerance." The walls of the stomach and intestines are lined with sensitive receptors that interact with, and respond to, the lectin in wheat. At first, you may only experience that wheat lectin interaction as a mild digestive problem, or a dull, listless feeling after consuming foods not right for you.
Over time, the result is a steadily deteriorating state of health, loss of energy and weight gain.
The good news is, by removing these targeted foods and replacing them with foods more suitable for your blood type, you begin to experience the benefits of a leaner, cleaner, more energetic body.
That "WEIGHT LOSS SHAKE" is actually adding on the pounds!
Over 80% of us can't tolerate most weight loss products.
Most so-called weight-control shakes are only about limiting calorie intake without taking into consideration your unique biochemical needs. Do you wonder why so many people lose weight, only to gain it back--and then some? Or why many people may lose weight in the face and neck, but remain persistently overweight around the middle? Improper and unhealthy weight loss leads to unbalanced and unhealthy weight distribution.
Genuine weight loss and genuine, lasting health comes from considering how your body interacts with the foods and beverages you consume. Dr. D'Adamo's pioneering and on-going research confirms that your blood type is the single most important determinant in how your body interacts with the foods you eat and whether those foods cause inflammation, digestive problems, or weight gain for you.
Over 80% of Americans are either type O or A. Wheat and corn by-products are two of the key weight-gaining foods for blood types O and A. Amazingly, most popular low calorie" diet bars and shakes contain whey and corn-derived ingredients which for blood type O:
Inflames your digestive tract lining and interferes with your digestive process, causing bloating
Slows down the rate of food metabolism, so you don't efficiently burn calories for energy
Compromises your production of insulin.
Upsets your hormonal balance, causing water retention, thyroid disorders and other problems
By simply replacing the key weight-gaining foods in your diet, you can begin not only helping your body lose weight, but also gain more energy.

Its simple to get started. Step One: It's easy to overlook a common source of dietary lectins: So-called "low calorie" diet foods and other snack foods. Take a new look at the snacks or diet drinks and powders you may be using right now. Do any of them contain any of the foodstuffs that are harmful to your blood type, or have lectins known to lead to inflammation and weight gain? Consider replacing these with blood-type friendly Dr. D'Adamo-designed snack bars, protein drinks, and teas. Not only are these foods easier on your system --but they can have an immediate impact on your body's lectin chain-reactions.
Step Two: Look at your diet. Don't try to change your entire life in one weekend. After looking over the key weight-gaining foods for your blood type, consider replacing at least two of them with other foods that may be neutral or even beneficial for your type.
Example for Types O and A: Replace wheat breads and pastas with better-tolerated and neutral Spelt breads and pastas. Ideally, until you reach your preferred state of health and weight, you'll want to consume less of these grains, and add more quality meats and vegetables. However, removing the gluten is a huge step in the right direction.
Example for Types B and AB: Replace corn muffins and taco shells with and pastas with better-tolerated and neutral Spelt breads and pastas. Ideally, until you reach your preferred state of health and weight, you'll want to consume less of these grains, and add more quality meats and vegetables.
Here's a brief lesson in blood-type history:
Western Europeans and many Japanese tend to be type A. Eastern Europeans, East Indians, northern Chinese, Koreans and a smaller portion of Japanese tend toward type B, as do Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews. Type O, the oldest blood type, is approximately 50,000 years old and predominates among Africans and American Indians, but is also the most common, crossing many races and geographic regions. Type AB, the newest type, sprung up in Europe around A.D. 900, a consequence of mingling civilizations of people with type A and B blood.
The difference, says D'Adamo, is largely in the lectins.
Each of the four blood types is distinguished by its chemical markers, or antigens. Your immune system uses your blood antigens to recognize foreign antigens in the bloodstream, such as from a virus. The blood antigens create antibodies that attach to the foreign antigens - a process called agglutination ("literally, gluing," D'Adamo says). This clump of antibody and foreign antigen is easier for the immune system to identify and destroy.
Blood types A and B also produce antibodies that reject each other's type. (Type AB does not; it can accept blood from any blood type. Type O, the universal donor, can give blood to any blood type but accepts only O.) According to D'Adamo, it turns out blood antigens do the same thing to certain foods, depending on the food and the blood type. Enter lectins.
Lectins are proteins found in foods. Certain lectin proteins are similar enough to one type of blood antigen to cause the antigens of another blood type to produce antibodies to attack and agglutinate, clumping the blood. D'Adamo contends that this blood clumping can contribute to a range of ills (irritable bowel syndrome in the intestines, cirrhosis of the liver), depending on the food protein and the blood type.
While the four blood-type diets were not designed for weight loss, D'Adamo has used them to help overweight people reach a more appropriate weight because, depending on the blood type, some foods will cause weight gain and others aid a slow metabolism. For example, while meat will tend to slow digestion and metabolism for type A, the type O stomach efficiently digests and metabolizes it. Conversely, carbohydrates can slow the type O metabolism.
Another example is a seaweed called bladder wrack. For type O, bladder wrack normalizes a slow metabolism, but does not have that effect on the metabolism of other blood types. The proper diet is just one component of maintaining an appropriate weight; D'Adamo also prescribes herbs and regular exercise, once again based on blood type. His research shows that while types O and B benefit from vigorous exercise, types A and AB do better with slower, more calming exercise such as yoga or brisk walking or swimming. Yoga is useful for all four types, but types O and B should combine it with more high-intensity exercise such as aerobics, martial arts, cycling or jogging.
At the back of the book, D'Adamo answers common questions such as: Why avoid foods that are the staple of your ethnic diet but do not fit your blood type? Do what you can, D'Adamo responds.
"You don't have to do this diet 100 percent," D'Adamo said. "It means learn what's right and know it. You'll do just fine."
