Hi all, this is a log for a test I'm doing. A month or so back I came across the blood type diet idea. The theory is that different blood types have different dietary requirements, my blood type (AB) is the rarest with type O being the most common as such my dietary requirements are quite different to someone who is type O.
I tried eating right for my (blood) type for 3 weeks and to my astonishment found it was a lot easier to eat, I'd usually struggle through meals containing meat (most of them) and feel stuffed full and bloated most of the day, eating for my type I found putting away 4000+ cals about 50-100 times easier than the 3,500 I'd been struggling to force down before. Speaking to friends who were aware of this diet type I thought it would be an idea to conduct a little experiment, I'd get blood tests done after eating "wrong" for my type, then after sticking to my blood type diet for a few months get tested again to see if the diet had any significant effect on my health.
So I had my blood test last Thursday (12th April) and I've been eating right for my type since.
I won't go into masses of detail here as that would be pretty much just copying what's already been written in the book "eat right for your type". I will however highlight the basic dos and donts of my blood type diet.
No meat. Type ABs have low levels of stomach acid and find meat hard to digest storing much of it as fat.
Limited wheat or cornmeal. Type ABs are fine with most grains but not in excess
Large amounts of fruit and veggies. Type A diet is largely vegetarian and as AB is a mix of type A and type B apparently we do well with lots of veg.
Dairy is fine. Type Bs are best at digesting dairy and ABs inherit this quality from their B side.
Fish, in the absence of meat fish is easier to digest and a good alternative protein source for type ABs
There is much more to it than this but as I said, I'm not gonna type out the whole book. Of anyone is interested PM me your email and I'll send you a PDF copy of the book.
I hope that the end results of the little experiment show that eating for my type lowers cholesterol and makes it easier to gain muscle by being able to put away enough protein and easier to lose bodyfat by not storing poorly digest foods as fat.
In addition to this log I will be keeping a video log on YouTube.
Just need to thank my good bro Bader for his help putting this experiment together and introducing me to his friend who is making a documentary on the blood type diet.
