Starting to eat and exercise according to my blood type and hoping to achieve my weight loss goal!
Hello, I'm back again was on a five year break. I had then lost 30lbs and gradually gained all the weight back due to lack of proper diet and exercise. I recently purchased a book called eat right for your type and have been sticking to the guidelines for type O blood type diet. Follow along with me in my journey to a better me and let's encourage each other to be fit and healthy! !!

I heard you're much better off eating and exercising for your astrological sign.0

Agreed. That chart was quite confusing to me though. I'm still not sure whether I'm supposed to be eating lions or hunting down wildebeests.Alatariel75 wrote: »I heard you're much better off eating and exercising for your astrological sign.

What are the break downs for blood types?
"Everyone does not have the same basic nutritional needs. We all know someone who is a strict vegetarian and thrives on that diet, while others swear by Atkins or similar low-carb plans. Your nutritional needs can be determined by your blood type. Take a look at the food lists in Eat Right 4 Your Type, they are a guide for choosing the foods that will allow you to lose weight, reduce inflammation, increase energy and lead a longer, healthier life.0 -

That's not a breakdown0 -
I don't know my blood type. I guess I can't follow the diet. Too badmuscleandcurves wrote: »What are the break downs for blood types?

Yeah, that's not what I asked. I asked for a break down for each blood type.0 -
Unfortunately there is no scientific support to eating for your blood type for weight loss and health being any more advantageous than just eating correct macro/micro nutrients for your weight, height, age, gender and according to what goals you're trying to achieve. The marketing of this plan is just that......................marketing.

thats it.
i got fat because my blood type and the 3000 calories of food i ate a day weren't in agreement.0 -
Way too complicated for me. Also, I don't like things that tell me I can't have certain foods. I was looking at a chart for this and one of them was avoid monterey jack cheese, avacado, cantaloupe, blackberries, etc. Like... really? I just can't fathom it.
Good luck OP, hope you can stick to it and then not gain it all back again. Seems to me you've picked a pretty hard diet to sustain.... but good luck.0 -
I'm not here to break down each and every blood type that would take all day. I purchased the book Which I included in my response so if you are interested you can read it as I am doing and educate yourself on eating according to your personal blood type. Happy reading! !!!muscleandcurves wrote: »What are the break downs for blood types?

The only one that sounds remotely reasonable is the O type. And even that's a stretch. Type A isn't allowed meat at all.
OP - maybe you should try creating a reasonable deficit and sticking to it? It's gotten me 78 pounds lighter!0 -
Thanks! I find that cutting certain foods has helped me drastically being that I have the autoimmune disorder Lupus. Cutting out gluten, and dairy helps me feel alot better. I appreciate your encouraging words.Way too complicated for me. Also, I don't like things that tell me I can't have certain foods.

I also prefer this method. Lost 58 lbs and I've also lost 23 of the 24.6 lbs of pregnancy weight on top of that. Calorie deficit will always be the winner.0 -
