Weight Loss is just the beginning:<\/h2>\n

Optimizing digestive function impacts a wide range of body systems, which is why blood type diets help resolve problems like internal inflammation, nutrient malabsorption, immune system dysfunction and hormonal imbalance, D\u2019Adamo notes. The biggest improvements we see involve autoimmune thyroiditis, psoriasis and other skin problems and fatigue. These conditions normally result from having had a compromised eliminative process, so it makes sense that they improve with the switch to optimal foods.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was in my 40s, I started to fall apart,\u201d recalls Wendy Minotti, 52. \u201cBut as soon as I started eating for my blood type, my hormones seemed more balanced. I lost weight. My chin no longer breaks out and my skin is firmer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blood Types at a Glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blood Type O:<\/strong>
\nHigh levels of stomach acid help this blood type, which descended from hunter-gatherers, easily process all kinds of meat.<\/p>\n

Blood Type A:<\/strong>
\nAs people began cultivating crops, their microbiomes adapted to allow for the optimal digestion of all kinds of plant foods.<\/p>\n

Blood Type B:<\/strong>
\nType Bs, descendants of nomadic tribes that raised herbs to survive, are efficient digesters of plant foods and red meat.<\/p>\n

Blood Type AB:<\/strong>
\nType Abs arose from the comingling of A and B populations, and as a result, harbor digestive advantages of both types.<\/p>\n

Then follow the lead of Wendy Minotti, who remembers how her figure and confidence were shot after having five children. \u201cI stretched my body out so many times, it wasn\u2019t even funny,\u201d shares Wendy, who tried to get back in shape by living on salads. The approach backfired, though \u2013 she was never satisfied and would sometimes resort to eating three grilled cheese sandwiches just to curb her midday hunger.<\/p>\n

Wendy\u2019s realization that weight loss didn\u2019t have to involve deprivation came after watching a friend unwrap Blood Types, Body Types and You at a birthday party. She adopted the way of eating and was stunned when just one sandwich on oatmeal bread left her feeling full.<\/p>\n

Soon Wendy\u2019s cheekbones emerged, and her joint aches, facial rashes, allergies, depression and hot flashes disappeared. Even her formerly saggy skin looked tighter. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a losing weight thing,\u201d Wendy raves. \u201cIt\u2019s a looking younger thing. It\u2019s the best anti-aging method I\u2019ve ever found!\u201d<\/p>\n

Your Slimming Strategies – Blood Type B<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Type B probably came into being as a mutation that occurred when Type Os moved into harsher climates like the Himalayas. These nomads herded and domesticated animals, so they lived on meat and dairy, as well as produce. Type Bs do well on animal and vegetable foods, but have problems with some foods that can be resolved with smart choices.<\/p>\n

1. Favor lean red meat (like lamb, venison and beef) and fish (like salmon, cod, flounder and halibut). And choose turkey over chicken since the latter contains a protein that can interfere with metabolism in Type Bs. Ask a B about the biggest thing they get out of this diet, and they will say it taught me not to eat chicken, and I\u2019m never going to go back.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Enjoy dairy. \u201cThe basic sugar in the Type B molecule is D-galactosamine, the same sugar present in milk. This compatibility lets Bs thrive on three to four servings of yogurt and cheese and up to five serving of milk each week. (If you are lactose intolerant, incorporate cultured fare like yogurt and kefir into your diet for two weeks their probiotics enhance the gut\u2019s ability to break down lactose so you can gradually introduce other dairy.)<\/p>\n

3. Eat your fill of veggies (like leafy greens, beets, carrots, eggplant, peppers and sweet potatoes) and fruit (like bananas, cranberries, grapes, plums, watermelon, papaya and pineapple).<\/p>\n

4. Have carbohydrates in moderation. Eat two to four servings of millet, oat bran, oatmeal, rice, rice bran or spelt weekly, and aim for up to two serving daily of cereals, pastas or bread made with these grains. But since corn, buckwheat, rye and wheat can lower Type Bs\u2019 metabolic efficiency and trigger blood sugar imbalances, products that contain these grains should be avoided. Nuts and seeds can pose similar problems, so it\u2019s best to avoid peanuts, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds.<\/p>\n

\nIf you are Blood Type AB<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then follow the lead of Sharon Lewinter, who had struck out with countless diets before her mom clued her in to the blood-type approach. \u201cI constantly felt bad about myself,\u201d admits Sharon, who struggled with tiredness, bad skin, depression and varicose veins. \u201cOne day I was talking about my frustrations with my mom, and she mentioned a book that had been collecting dust in her attic \u2013 Eat Right 4 Your Type. I read it that night and got started the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an AB blood type, the first few days on the plan were challenging for Sharon because she could no longer indulge in favorites like pasta, French fries and chicken,. But the immediate results she saw after eliminating these foods helped her power through. \u201cI dropped 15 pounds in two weeks,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen results like that with nay diet!<\/strong><\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Flash forward three years: Sharon is 72 punds trimmer, still shedding inches and all the health issue that used to plague her have disappeared. Says Sharon, \u201cIt\u2019s a miracle that I no longer struggle with any of the problems I used to \u2013 including my weight!\u201d<\/p>\n


\nYour Slimming Strategies – Blood Type AB
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Type AB is the newest Blood type it emerged as population bearing both A and B blood types began to intermingle. \u00a0And while Type ABs are prone to some of the same digestive traps that impact types A and B, they share some of the benefits, as well: \u00a0As ABs combined type allows them to tolerate and digest a wide variety of foods that suit both type As and Type Bs.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fill your plate with veggies (aiming for three to five servings per day), seafood (such as cod, red snapper, salmon and tuna) and turkey. \u00a0When eating red meat, make it more of a side dish. The intestinal makeup of type ABs doesn’t digest red meat efficiently, and as a result, meat is stored as fat. \u00a0That’s why he advises limiting beef to no more than three 5oz. serving of lean cuts per week. \u00a0Also avoid chicken since the same protein that makes it a problem for Type Bs can slow metabolism in Type ABs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Enjoy dairy. \u00a0Type ABs share the Type B tendency to thrive on dairy food, especially options rich in digestion-enhancing probiotics like yogurt and kefir. \u00a0This blood type also processes egg-form protein efficiently, so enjoy up to five eggs a week.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Have carbohydrates in moderation. \u00a0Type ABs do well on grains in general, and can tolerate occasional servicing of wheat germ and wheat, as well as four serving of millet, oat bran, oatmeal, rice, rice bran or spelt, and seven serving of bread, crackers or muffins each week. \u00a0But since corn and buckwheat can disrupt AB digestion and lower metabolism avoid these grains and foods that contain them. \u00a0Snack on fresh fruit. \u00a0The best choices for Type AB individuals include cherries, grapes, plums, watermelon, figs and kiwifruit, which can be enjoyed up to three to four times per day. \u00a0One to avoid: oranges. \u00a0Type ABs have alkaline stomachs that are sensitive to the acids in this citrus fruit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
