Do you know that there are diets that are specifically designed to suit different blood groups? Many weight loss experts, physicians and naturopath support the idea that an individual’s blood group determines the types of food one should include in their diet.
You will lose weight, reduce the risk of many diseases and feel healthier if you can follow a diet that is specially tailored for your blood type. Blood type diet is very popular among our Hollywood star. Many actors such as Courtney Cox-Arquette, Liz Hurley and many others are follower of this diet.
Eat according to your blood group
Blood Group A:
People who belong to Blood group A are naturally vegetarian. These people should try to eat more and more of vegetables and fruits are they are low in fat and high in fibre and carbohydrate. This is based on idea that A type blood is much thicker than other blood types. They should also avoid from eating meat, animal fat and dairy products.

Science behind Blood Group Diet
No research has proved the base of blood group diet and it is still highly questionable. The core idea behind the blood group diet is a progression indicator of the type of food our forefathers were used to. Blood group A were farmers who had loads of vegetable products, blood type B consisted of omnivores who had dairy products along with meat and veggies; Type O constituted of the hunters or the gatherers, their diet relied heavily on animal products. There are only some scientific studies which correlate between the food we eat and the blood type.
Claims of the diet
