So, I lost about 110 pounds on the Atkins diet. I watched many people fail on it, and others succeed. Most failed due to will power, others just couldn't do it.

Two of my brothers did the diet. One succeeded, one didn't. The part I found interesting is that the one brother succeeded was a type "O" like myself. The other is type A, or something. (I forget, but it's different than us).

I looked around on the internet, and a friend of mine showed me this book yesterday about blood types. It said word for word in this book that Type "O"'s have a problem with Gluten and Dairy. It also went on to say that their history came from eating a primary diet of meat, and living in a mild state of Ketosis. Just cutting out wheat alone can cause a "O" type to lose weight.

I found this amazing, because I am allergic to gluten and lactose. I lost SO much weight on Atkins, and nobody could figure it out.

Has anyone else heard of this?
