Everthing in prayer, and moderation, but this was a real help. I started my daughter off on this so when she is my age it's not so hard for her. So our genes are made for different things...ever tried putting cheap gas in an high octane vehicle, same difference. Good luck!

I went off the diet for a day and ate a lot of the AVOID foods and the next day felt awful, with stomach pains and general body aches. I hadn't realised for the month I was on it how much better it really was making me feel. I am now going to take it a bit more seriously and stick with it for good!

Yesterday i slept the whole night peacefully i wake up tired, is it because i do not eat bread (so called energy foods) I have started the blood type diet about two weeks ago, i sleep better, i do not have cravings, i get full quickly when i eat the right foods.

For the skeptics: I have always eaten a fresh, healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and complex grains and gotten plenty of exercise. This did not prevent weight gain. Reducing my portions, increasing my exercise or any of the other usual recommendations have never helped me lose weight. This diet, however, is working for me. Perhaps the theory is pushed too far and maybe there are other explanations as to why it works. For me the important thing is that this is the first time any such change has worked. I would never have thought that switching from milk to soy milk, cutting out yoghurt, eating sweet potatoes and cutting out wheat (I usually ate whole wheat or multigrain breads) and corn would work so well. I am also happy to avoid fruits and vegetables I never cared for, but had learned to eat. I am type O.

It is less a diet than guidelines. I am a type "O". I came across this book in 2003. I grew up eating whole wheat, but have found that the bloating and gas disappear when I choose oatmeal bread (MADE WITH OATMEAL FLOUR). My eyes became puffy a few years ago immediately after eating ice cream. They do not do this when I avoid dairy. I tried meatless meals in the 90's because it was considered "healthy". I never felt so sick in the morning when I had these meatless meals. I am a slim--almost 52 year old, who works out at the gym almost daily and feels great. Except for a low thyroid (also typical for type O) have no health issues. It will be very hard to sell me that blood type is not a valid indicator based how I feel. And as another addition, a friend of mine is a Type A. She has done very well following the recommendations for her blood type. I think it is well worth the medical community to look closer, as we all know that receiving the wrong blood in the hospital can cost you your life. Maybe those antibodies are more important with the food we eat that we ever believed? I think a few more “experts” need to try the recommendations before shooting it down.
