Many people who have tried D’Adamo’s diet have lost weight. Type ABs are told to avoid corn, peppers, olives, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and lima beans, but encouraged to eat jam, jellies, rabbit, and turkey. He tells them to avoid sunflower seeds, garbanzo beans, pinto beans, whole wheat bread, corn, pumpkin, tofu, tempeh, and tomatoes, but encourages them to eat rabbit, lamb, and mutton. They are told to avoid oranges, apples, wheat, peanut butter, avocados, cabbage, and potatoes, but encouraged to eat veal, ground beef, and beef heart.ĭ’Adamo tells Type Bs to eat a lot of dairy products, including frozen yoghurt. Type Os, on the other hand, are told to base their diets heavily around red meat. They are, however, advised to eat snails.72 Type As, for example, are told they do well on vegetarian diets, but they should avoid cabbage, potatoes, eggplant, olives, peppers, and tomatoes, among many other foods. Furthermore, there is no anthropologic evidence whatsoever that all prehistoric people with a particular blood type ate the same diet.”71ĭ’Adamo has come up with 16 different food groups, further divided into ‘Highly beneficial,’ ‘Neutral,’ and ‘Avoid’ foods, depending entirely on what blood type you are. “They came on the biologic scene long before humans did. “It’s a fallacy even to speak of ‘original’ type Os or ‘original’ type As because blood types did not originate with humans,” explains Dr Stephan Bailey, a nutritional anthropologist at Tufts University. And, indeed, many have been drawn in by D’Adamo’s promises.īut according to the Tufts University Health and Nutrition Letter, D’Adamo has his blood typing all wrong. In a time when we have strayed so far from a natural way of eating, a guide to eating like your prehistoric ancestors could be quite helpful. By ‘eating right for your type,’ D’Adamo asserts, you will be eating like your prehistoric ancestors did.70 Follow the diet that is ‘right for your type’, he says, and you can lose weight, cure ear infections, fight off cancer, heal yourself from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and much, much more. D’Adamo proposes that there are four different ideal diets, one for each blood type: A, B, AB, and O. The book Eat Right for Your Type by Peter J.
