The Original Question
Greetings,
I'm not a "low carb" diet guy, I'm just into science, and I hit this question at a search engine. Bottom line? There's no science to support any of the claims made by D'Amato about diet & blood type. Not one peer reviewed paper. Also, his claims about the dates and origins of "blood types" is spurious, i.e., where does any credible research show that type O is the "original blood type" or that type AB is the newest? Nowhere! It's total frogwash. Blood typing has only been around since 1901. Then you've got the wildly spurious claim that since type A's were farmers and sedentary, (every try living like a 900-1000 C.E. farmer? Sedentary ain't the word, bwana), they should excercise less than O's, who need caveman levels of excertion. Piffle, stuff and nonsense. Any diet that tells you to excercise LESS should set of BIG alarm bells. I hate to flagellate a deceased equine, but there really is no substitute for eating right and excercise. I'm 226 pounds, 6'5", and I pump iron 2hrs a day, 4 days a week. I eat sensible, and I'm in better shape at 43 than I've ever been in my life, so I know what I'm saying works. That being said, consult a physician before making any changes to your diet or excercise habits, just to be safe! Don't play "guinea pig" with yerself! Be well and healthy!
