The blood-type diet is based on your blood type. According to Dr. Peter D'Adamo, the creator of the diet, eating the right foods will keep you healthy, improve your energy and digestion, restore your body's chemistry and help with weight loss. However, according to MayoClinic.com, there's no scientific evidence to show that the diet works.
Step 1
Try a mostly vegetarian diet if you have type A blood. According to D'Adamo, type A thrives on a meat-free diet. Focus on organic, fresh food as much as possible. All beans, vegetables, fruits, legumes and grains are allowed. Avoid all meats and dairy.
Step 2
Focus on a balanced omnivore diet if you have type B blood. Meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables, legumes, beans and grains are all acceptable for type B. According to nutritional and anti-aging expert Dr. Michael Lam, type B should avoid lentils, wheat, corn, chicken and peanuts.
Step 3
Eat a high-protein diet if you're type O. While fruits and vegetables are allowed for type O, this group should mostly focus on meats. Eat legumes, grains and beans in moderation. Avoid corn, wheat and lentils.
Step 4
Plan a mixed diet if you're type AB, which is actually a mix of blood types A and B, so an ideal diet should combine characteristics of both. Almost all foods are allowed except red meat, corn, kidney and lima beans, and buckwheat. Consume alcohol and coffee in moderation.
