The method of feeding according to blood groups was developed by the American physician Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the solubility of food, the efficiency of its use by the body is directly related to the genetic characteristics of a person. Namely, with his blood type. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person should eat foods that correspond to blood type, in other words, those eaten by his ancestors in ancient times. Elimination of blood-incompatible substances from the diet reduces slag in the body, improves the functioning of internal organs and promotes weight loss. Consumption of the same "foreign" products leads to body slag and rapid increase in body fat.
The theory of nutrition according to blood type caused heated discussions among doctors, which have not fallen so far. Based on the D'Adamo technique, different diets according to 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 type 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with the first blood type are meat consumers with a continuous digestive tract, a highly active immune system and poor adaptation to new diets. The digestive tract of the "hunters" has not yet adapted to dairy products and cereals.
Particularly useful products
Lean meat (lamb, beef), salmon, cod, dill, olive oil, nuts, pumpkin seeds, beets, figs.
Foods to limit
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.
Foods for weight gain
Wheat, corn, beans, beans, cabbage, cauliflower.
Foods for weight loss
Red meat, liver, seafood.
Nutrition according to the second blood group
Representatives of the second blood group (A) - "farmers" - are recommended vegetarian food.
The emergence of blood group 2 (A) is associated with the transition of people to agriculture. 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 should exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of "hunters" meat is burned as fuel, then in "farmers" it turns into fat. They also poorly assimilate dairy food. But "farmers" can eat a variety of low-fat natural products, vegetables and whole grains.
Particularly useful products
Seafood in moderation, soy, beans, beans, buckwheat, rice, artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapple.
Foods to limit
Wheat bread, potatoes, apricots, cranberries, ketchup, mayonnaise. It is advisable to exclude meat and meat products completely from the diet.
Foods for weight gain
Meat, dairy products, beans, wheat.
Foods for weight loss
Vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables, pineapple.
Nutrition according to the third blood group
Blood group 3 (B) appeared when human tribes 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 blood type 1 and 2. "Nomads" are the main consumers of milk. A harmonious combination of physical and mental activity will help them maintain good shape and mood.
Soy, chicken, sunflower oil, tomatoes and pomegranate are contraindicated in people with the third blood group; all dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat and flaxseed oil are beneficial.
Particularly useful products
Lamb, rabbit, mackerel, cod, lacquer, goat's milk cheese, olive oil, oatmeal, rice, parsley, cabbage, pineapple, plums.

Goose meat, chicken, beef, pork, heart, shrimp, anchovies, lobster, eel, sunflower, peanut and corn oil, buckwheat, rye bread, tomatoes, pomegranate, dates.
Foods for weight gain
Corn, lentils, peanuts, buckwheat, sesame seeds.
Foods for weight loss
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: "young people". People with the fourth blood group react quickly to changes in the environment and nutrition. They have a sensitive digestive tract and an extremely tolerant immune system. The best way to stay in shape is to combine intellectual work with light physical activity.
The basis of nutrition for owners of the fourth blood group should be fat-free foods of sour milk, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The set of excess pounds is influenced by mixed inheritance. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups should 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 seeds. But thanks to ancestors A, their bodies accept lentils and peanuts well. Unlike both, AB people respond well to wheat.
Particularly useful products
Lamb, rooster, cod, mackerel, dairy products, corn oil, oats, wheat bread, greens, cranberries, pineapple.
Foods to limit
Beef, bacon, duck, crab, salmon, whole milk, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, beans, buckwheat, radish, avocado, banana, pomegranate.
Foods for weight gain
Red meat, beans, corn, buckwheat, wheat.
Foods for weight loss
Seafood (except canned, dried, dried and smoked), soy, dairy products, green vegetables, pineapple.
A small conclusion
Above are the foods that are specific to the diet for each blood type. However, each of us has our own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food products, choose a diet according to blood type, should take into account not only the general recommendations, but also the individuality of one, first of all - the origin and blood type of ancestors.
Doctors have not yet reached a consensus on how effective blood type diet is, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be at least valid. For people suffering from any chronic disease, nutrition according to blood type should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
