I am AB RH positive, however I am a vegetarian. Do you have any plans that I could follow? I was recently told by the Practice Nurse that vegetarians do often tend to be over weight, is this true? If so, what is the reason for this? Thanks

This diet seems ludicrous. If there was scientific proof behind blood type being linked to different foods hindering or enabling our metabolisms it would be common knowledge. Sure the diets seem healthy so people will lose weight but blood type being anything to do with this is absurd. I'm of blood type A and I live on a very meaty high protein diet yet I'm perfectly healthy.

I actually think that this diet makes a little sense to me. Both my Dad and sister have an O blood type, they love to eat meat! they even have it for breakfast, luch and dinner but they don't like fruit and Veg, much. On the other hand, me and my mom have an A blood type, we prefer to eat vegetarian food, as meat can cause us to have spots on our face. The only type of meat that i like to eat is chiken, and my mom likes fish. Because I'm a Christian, I do the Easter fasting every year, when I only eat vegeterian food, and I always find that my health gets so much better during that month, I only go back to eating meat for sociable events.

Hi I'm a type o blood group, I'm also a vegetarian. I would like to know whether I can eat Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) whilst following the blood diet. I stopped eating meat around 10 years ago and don't feel as though I need it but sometimes have a lack of energy which could be to do with my underactive thyroid. Many thanks for any help Vicky.
