The blood type diet method was developed by the American doctor Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the effectiveness of its use by the body is directly related to the genetic characteristics of an individual. That is, with his blood type. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person needs to eat foods that correspond to the blood type, in other words, those that were eaten by his ancestors in antiquity. Elimination of substances incompatible with the blood from the diet reduces slag in the body, improves the function of internal organs and promotes weight loss. Consumption of the same "foreign" products leads to rust in the body and the rapid growth of body fat.
The theory of diet by blood type has provoked intense discussions among doctors, which have not subsided so far. Based on D'Adamo's technique, various diets per blood type 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 type (0) and are called "hunters" should rely on animal protein and refuse bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood group 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with the first blood type are meat consumers with a persistent digestive system, overactive immune system and poor adaptation to new diets. The digestive system of "hunters" has not yet adapted to dairy products and cereals.
Particularly useful products
Lean meat (lamb, beef), salmon, cod, pike, olive oil, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, beets, figs.
Foods that should 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.

Wheat, corn, beans, beans, cabbage, cauliflower.
Foods for weight loss
Red meat, liver, seafood.
Diet according to the second blood group
Representatives of the 2nd blood group (A) - "farmers" - are recommended vegetarian food.
The appearance of blood group 2 (A) is related to the transition of people to agriculture. The owners of the second blood group are vegetarians with a sensitive digestive system. They need natural environmentally friendly foods. People with the second blood group should exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of the "hunters" the meat burns as fuel, then in the "farmers" it is converted into fat. They also digest little dairy food. But "farmers" can eat a variety of low-fat natural products, vegetables and cereals.
Particularly useful products
Seafood in moderation, soybeans, beans, beans, buckwheat, rice, artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapples.

Meat, dairy products, beans, wheat.
Foods for weight loss
Vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables, pineapples.
Diet according to the third blood group
Blood group 3 (B) appeared when human races began migrating north, in an area with a harsh climate. Therefore, the owners of the third blood group D'Adamo call them "nomads". They have a strong immune system and 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 third blood type; all dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat and flaxseed oil are useful.

Diet 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: "young people". People with the fourth blood group respond quickly to changes in the environment and diet. They have a sensitive digestive system and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to stay in shape is to combine mental work with light physical activity.
The basis of the diet for the owners of the fourth blood group should be non-fat foods with sour milk, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The total extra pounds are affected by mixed heredity. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups must limit the consumption of meat, combine it with vegetables. The inheritance of B ancestors is a negative insulin response to beans, corn, buckwheat and sesame. But thanks to ancestors A, their bodies accept lentils and peanuts well. In contrast, AB atoms respond well to wheat.
Particularly useful products
Lamb, turkey, cod, mackerel, dairy products, corn oil, oatmeal, wheat bread, vegetables, cranberries, pineapples.
Foods that should be limited
Beef, bacon, duck, turbot, crab, salmon, whole milk, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, beans, buckwheat, radish, avocado, bananas, pomegranates.

A small conclusion
Listed above are the foods that are specific to the diet for each blood group. However, each of us has our own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food products, choosing a diet per blood type, you must take into account not only the general recommendations, but also your individuality, first of all - the origin and blood type of the ancestors.
Doctors have not yet reached a consensus on how effective the blood type diet is, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be at least valid. For people suffering from chronic diseases, the diet per blood group should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
