Today I want to talk to you about something that some people may not be familiar with–The Blood Type Diet. Now, this has been around for a while, but you may not have heard of it, and you may not even realize the importance of it. Let me give you a little background.
The blood type diet, also known as the blood group diet, was popularized by a naturopathic physician called Dr. Peter D’Adamo in the year 1996.
His book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, was incredibly successful. It was a New York Times bestseller, sold millions of copies, and is still wildly popular today.
In this book, he claims that the optimal diet for any one individual depends on the person’s ABO blood type.
He claims that each blood type represents genetic traits of our ancestors, including which diet they evolved to thrive on.
For more information, please check out the video below and continue reading for a brief breakdown of the different blood types.
This is how each blood type is supposed to eat:
- Type A: Called the agrarian, or cultivator. People who are type A should eat a diet rich in plants, and completely free of “toxic” red meat. This closely resembles a vegetarian diet.
- Type B: Called the nomad. These people can eat plants and most meats (except chicken and pork), and can also eat some dairy. However, they should avoid wheat, corn, lentils, tomatoes, and a few other foods.
- Type AB: Called the enigma. Described as a mix between types A and B. Foods to eat include seafood, tofu, dairy, beans, and grains. They should avoid kidney beans, corn, beef, and chicken.
- Type O: Called the hunter. This is a high-protein diet based largely on meat, fish, poultry, certain fruits, and vegetables, but limited in grains, legumes and dairy. It closely resembles the paleo diet.

My sister & brother-in-law have been eating this way for years!! They’ve been trying to get me on board and I’m slowly getting there. Been using D’adamo vitamins for several years and last year I started using Proberry3 and genome security which pretty sure, along with vitamin d3 kept me covid free!!! I’m not 100% following my blood type but maybe 60%.
