questions about D'Amato's "blood type diet"

Hello,

I have some basic questions about the "blood type diet",
as taught in with the book "Eat Right For Your Type", by D'Amato.

Trying to look up some info on the web, I found D'Amato's website --
but the page had some clunky Java and stopped loading. Bleahhh.

So, can someone please tell me a few basics, such as:

A 40-year-old woman in good health is considering this diet.
Her blood type is B+. According to this diet, which foods and
beverages should she eat? Which should she avoid?
What else would she need to know? (For example, some diet plans
make a point about what time of day to eat, how much water to drink,
and lots of other things.)

Thank you very much!

It's Peter D'Adamo, as I recall.

His diet is not backed up by any science or research whatsoever.
It's a load of bull. Plenty of animals have more than one bloodtype,
yet eat the same diet.

Where it not for the fact that Type O is the majority bloodtype in the
US, and he recommends lowcarbing (which works anyway) for type O,
his book would have been forgotten on the trash heap years ago.

Fuhgeddaboudit. If you're not exercising, get a stress test
and start exercising. Keep a food diary for at least a month,
and then start substituting high fiber low fat food for the
high fat things you eat. Repeat indefinitely to be healthy.

It's total unadulterated bull****, made palatable only to sell books.

So, can someone please tell me a few basics, such as:

A 40-year-old woman in good health is considering this diet.
Her blood type is B+. According to this diet, which foods and
beverages should she eat? Which should she avoid?

She should eat high fiber carbs, lean proteins, healthy fats from nuts,
seeds and fish, and avoid refined flour products, refined sugar, and
saturated fats. She should drink plenty of water and green tea.

What else would she need to know? (For example, some diet plans
make a point about what time of day to eat, how much water to drink,
and lots of other things.)

She should eat often enough to feel sated all the time. A diet that
makes you go hungry needs more work. She should eat less than she burns
and she should burn more than she eats. The secret lies in a four-part
formula:

1. Eat less
2. Exercise more
3. Repeat
4. Forever.

Thanks. And I didn't get it by following a "blood type diet". In fact,
I didn't "follow" any diet. I learned how to eat best for my particular
body. Reading The Zone Diet stuff by Barry Sears was helpful, as was
Body for Life by Bill Phillips and "Fattitudes" by Willert and a bunch
of stuff about the glycemic index of food. And, of course,
http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html is always a great place to learn
how to eat and exercise.

Al D"Amato used to live next door to me. Trust me, he's never written
a book G.

Everyone's objections and criticisms to this diet are noted.
Thank you for your opinions.

Now, I'll ask the original question again.

Suppose a woman whose blood type is B+ decides to try
this diet. Which foods does this diet tell her to eat,
and which to avoid?

Thank you very much,

Ted Shoemaker

Ted I cannot answer your question as I do not know . However I had to laugh
at how your simple straight forward question was discarded , so people could
push their own little agendas and opinions onto you . Obviously they didn't
think you would be smart enough to arrive at your question after checking
out all the sort of stuff they were throwing at you . I was wondering when
you would put them back in their places . Good luck I hope someone comes
along who can read and comprehend English and answer your question without
treating you to a heap of unwanted bull**** advice .

Um, that's up to you to figure out. Obviously we've made it plain that this
is not a diet or theory that we follow or agree with. Personally, my
opinion is that it is CRAP science, like all the other diets that have a
name/logo or cost $. However, If you insist that it is of value to you,
then YOU do the research, buy the book, and figure it out. The truth is,
there is no "science" or special magical key to unlock the mystery door of
losing weight. It all boils down to "eat less, exercise more". But of
course, that is free, and only requires effort, diligence, and
determination. Not what you wanted to hear either, I don't imagine.

And I'll give you the same answer. I snipped it word for word:

She should eat high fiber carbs, lean proteins, healthy fats from nuts, seeds and fish, and avoid refined flour products, refined sugar, and saturated fats. She should drink plenty of water and green tea.

What else would she need to know? (For example, some diet plans make a point about what time of day to eat, how much water to drink, and lots of other things.)
