blood type
 

been talking to people about dieting for your blood type.

curious what blood typeeveryone is?

I'm o-

i have no clue anymore what my bloodtype is. i had picked up the blood type diet books at a yard sale, brand new for .50 cents, read them, and it didn't really come off as feasible to me, so i sold the books on ebay for a small fortune instead, went on atkins, and never looked back.

O- I read this is the best diet for blood type O

I've never tried a blood type diet. I have done low fat/low cal and got fat. I've done and continue to do Atkins. I lost the weight and now maintain it by moving up the ladder. My blood type is also O-.

I'm A+ which according to the book means I should be vegetarian. NOT likely!!!!

It might help if you realise that there is absolutely no scientific basis for anything that Dr A'Damo says about blood type. ;)
I tend to be pretty suspicious when people make these wild claims without bothering to back them up with actual science. But...it has sold him a lot of books, and doubtless made him a rich man.
Dr Atkins became a rich man too, but his diet is based on solid science. :agree:
JMHO

Rosebud:rose:

That diet has been debunked for ages now..

Total B.S..why didn't our ancestors or tribes around the world practice a blood type diet?

Great,great,marketing campaign

I'm B+ I don't think the blood type diet is very solid, either.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Isn't that about like saying, "Why didn't our ancestors or tribes around the world use Microsoft Office?" Blood typing didn't exist before 1901.

A beautiful theory, victim of a low-fact diet.

Im O+. I don't know anything about the blood type diet. I love Atkins. :)

I don't either.... but I know I am O- and Iheard that was the LC type... so I was curious...

I put no weight in it either... I just wondered...

Yes, according to Dr. D'Adamo, we Type O are low-carb because we're less evolved from our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

Low-carb -- so easy a caveman could do it!

That's me!! Caveman!! I got Geico insurance and I do Atkins!

ROCK ON!

Do I have to stop shaving my legs and start dragging my knuckles when I walk??

i'm 0- . just like my last grade i received in college before i graduated (grrr biology)

Same here!

I like my veggies, but I cannot live without meat! Ok, I can live....but not happily!

AB-, which means I'm most likely screwed if I ever need a blood transfusion. Luckily my mom and sis have the same one.

Too funny! BTW, always nice to run into a fellow Okie.

You saw those commercials too? where the caveman is in therapy..? now, commercials.. thats a whole other thread!

p.s. My sister lent me this book years ago. it gathered dust for a long while, then I gave it back. Read it, never put much stock in it.

I'm A+. I love vegetables, but over the years, I've learned that carbs get me in trouble so I'm commited and loving this LC WOE!

Although there is not a 1:1 correspondence between diet & blood type, there is probably a statistical correlation as blood type & sugar sensitivity are both controlled by genes. But I'd rather forget the middleman (blood type) and just look at the cause (sugar & gluten) and effect (fat) on me.

Really? I'm AB+ which means I'm a universal recipient (can take blood from anyone). I'd think you'd only need to find a donor who was rh -, regardless of A or B factors?

acctually O- is the universal donor... They see us o-'s comming through the blood bank line and get all excited!

AB- is only bad if you have sergury and they have to type and cross match

I always just assumed I would be screwed because AB- is the rarest blood type (1/2-1% of the population, I think). Looking it up just now, it seems I can receive blood from any negative donor, but no positive donors. I can only donate blood to other AB's. It would be problematic if I ever needed an exact match or a plasma match, since it is the rarest type.

Hi there... Hey Elizabeth, I am AB+

i am A+. Husband is O.

O+ here...and there's a blood drive on campus tomorrow that I should go to!

Last time I went they ripped me to shreds...BOTH arms. Just a little hesistent to go back! :lol:
