The method of nutrition by blood groups was developed by the American physician Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the efficiency of its use by the body is directly related to the genetic characteristics of a person. Namely, with his blood group. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person needs to eat foods that correspond to the blood group, in other words, those that his ancestors ate in ancient times. The elimination of substances incompatible with blood from the diet reduces slagging in the body, improves the functioning of internal organs, and promotes weight loss. Consumption of the same "foreign" products leads to slagging of the body and the rapid growth of body fat.
The theory of nutrition by blood group caused heated discussions among physicians, which have not subsided until now. On the basis of D'Adamo's technique, various diets by blood group have been developed, which have recently become very fashionable. How, according to D'Adamo, should people with different blood types eat?
Food according to the first blood group
People who have 1 blood group (0) and are called "hunters" should be based on animal proteins, and they should refuse bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood group 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with the first blood group are meat consumers with a persistent digestive tract, an overactive immune system, and poor adaptation to new diets. The digestive tract of "hunters" has not yet adapted to dairy products and grains.
Especially useful products
Lean meat (lamb, beef), salmon fish, cod, pike, olive oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, beets, figs.
Foods that need to be limited
Dairy products, cheeses, cottage cheese, fatty meats, especially pork, pasta and other flour products, potatoes, strawberries, tangerines, oranges, melons, avocados, corn and peanut butter, olives.
Weight gain foods
Wheat, corn, beans, beans, cabbage, cauliflower.
Weight Loss Foods
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 need to exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of "hunters" meat is burned like fuel, then in "farmers" it turns into fat. They also poorly assimilate dairy food. But "farmers" can eat a variety of natural products with low fat content, vegetables and cereals.
Especially useful products
Seafood in moderation, soy, beans, beans, buckwheat, rice, artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapples.
Foods that need to be limited
Wheat bread, potatoes, apricots, cranberries, ketchup, mayonnaise. It is advisable to completely exclude meat and meat products from the diet.
Weight gain foods
Meat, dairy products, beans, wheat.
Weight Loss Foods
Vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables, pineapples.
Nutrition according to the third blood group
Blood type 3 (B) appeared when human tribes began to migrate northward, in areas with a harsh climate. Therefore, the owners of the third blood group D'Adamo calls "nomads". They have a powerful immune system, and they can choose food more freely than people with 1 and 2 blood groups. "Nomads" are the main consumers of milk. A harmonious combination of physical and mental activity will help them maintain their shape and good mood.
Soy, chicken, sunflower oil, tomatoes and pomegranates are contraindicated in people with the third blood group; all dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat and flaxseed oil are useful.
Especially useful products
Lamb, rabbit, mackerel, cod, flounder, goat's milk cheese, olive oil, oatmeal, rice, parsley, cabbage, pineapples, plums.
Foods that need to be limited
Goose meat, chicken meat, beef, pork, heart, shrimp, anchovy, lobster, eel, sunflower, peanut and corn oil, buckwheat, rye bread, tomatoes, pomegranates, persimmons.
Weight gain foods
Corn, lentils, peanuts, buckwheat, sesame seeds.
Weight Loss Foods
Red meat, liver, liver, low fat dairy products, green vegetables, eggs.
Nutrition according to the fourth blood group
Blood group 4 (AB) appeared less than a thousand years ago as a result of a mixture of other groups. Hence the name: "new people". People with the fourth blood group respond quickly to changes in the environment and nutrition. They have a sensitive digestive tract and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to keep fit is to combine intellectual work with light physical activity.
The basis of nutrition for the owners of the fourth blood group should be sour milk fat-free foods, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The set of extra pounds is influenced by mixed heredity. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups need to limit the consumption of meat, combine it with vegetables. The inheritance of B-ancestors is a negative insulin reaction to beans, corn, buckwheat and sesame seeds. But thanks to the A-ancestors, their body accepts lentils and peanuts well. Unlike both, AB people respond well to wheat.
Especially useful products
Lamb, turkey meat, cod, mackerel, dairy products, corn oil, oatmeal, wheat bread, collard greens, cranberries, pineapples.
Foods that need to be limited
Beef, bacon, duck, flounder, crab, salmon, whole milk, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, beans, buckwheat, radish, avocado, bananas, pomegranates.
Weight gain foods
Red meat, beans, corn, buckwheat, wheat.
Weight Loss Foods
Seafood (except for canned, dried, dried and smoked), soy, dairy products, green vegetables, pineapples.
A little conclusion
Above are the foods that are specific to the diet for each blood group. However, each of us has his own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food products, choosing a diet by blood group, one must take into account not only general recommendations, but also one's individuality, first of all - the origin and blood group of ancestors.
Doctors have not yet come to a consensus on how effective blood type nutrition is, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be at least valid. For people suffering from any chronic diseases, nutrition by blood group should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
