I tried the Blood Type Diet
I'd heard that the actress Martine McCutcheon lost a lot of weight on the Blood Type Diet so I thought I'd give it a go. I'm a Blood Type A and it was a bit of a shock to read that I wasn't supposed to eat much meat. I'd been having it nearly every night! I read the book by Dr D'Adamo then started to eat more vegetarian meals, like veggie curries and stir-frys.
I did lose weight - about a stone in three months, although I don't know whether this was just because I was eating more healthily anyway. Now I've discovered eating less meat suits me, I'm going to keep up the veggie meals.

I am type O which means I should eat red meats, veg and fruit, no wheat produce, coffee or spuds. I have been doing this for about two months but not as a calorie controlled version. I have basically been stuffing myself and not gained weight which is unusual for me. i did cheat the other day and had a filthy Mcdonalds with coffee and I knew about it after. Within hours my throat was sore and I felt lousy. i am going to continue with my O plan but do the calorie controlled version with exercise to shed a stone.
