Blood can tell a lot about a person, because it is essentially the carrier of life and destiny. Did you know that there is even a diet based on blood type, which was very fashionable at one time? Some obese people are still interested in this and study the list of permitted products.
It should be said right away that this technique has been criticized by doctors more than once and has no scientific basis. But forewarning means forewarning, so let's try to know everything about this diet.
history of diet
There was a time when people believed that everyone had the same blood. Remember the fairy tale about Mowgli? "You and I are of the same blood – you and I! " But soon, after trying to share his blood with the sick and injured, a theory emerged that the blood was actually different.
Many scientific studies and experiments were carried out with animals and people, but only in 1900 three blood groups were discovered by Karl Landsteiner, and a little later the fourth was discovered by his students.
Currently, the world has adopted the alphanumeric classification:
- o or i - first;
- A (II) – second;
- B(III) – third;
- AB(IV) – Fourth.
The most common blood groups around the world are the first and second blood groups. Its carriers are 80% of all humanity. The third is less common, 15% have it, and the fourth is considered the rarest and is represented by only 5%. is done.
The American naturopath Peter D'Adamo suggested at the end of the twentieth century that if some human diseases are directly related to genetic characteristics and often depend on blood type, then it is likely that nutrition according to blood type is also possible. HeQuestioned each of his patients about preferences for certain foods and compiled the correct diet for each group. All products were divided into useful, undesirable and neutral.
D'Adamo has written several books on diet. They had tremendous success among American readers and became bestsellers. Then his concept of "4 blood types - 4 paths to health" spread throughout the world, and everyone whoWanted to lose weight, rushed to try a new diet.
What is that?
Basic principles and rules
According to blood groups, nutrition is as follows.
- In each period of human evolution, there was a certain diet, when it changed, the blood changed and a new group appeared. And, therefore, there is a basic set of products for each group.
- To keep your body in good shape, you should eat the same way your ancestors ate with a certain blood type. Thanks to the biochemical connection between blood and food, the "right" foods are absorbed better, faster. Digestion, increases metabolism and strengthens the immune system.
- If you exclude "wrong" foods from your diet, you can improve the body's performance, promote health and prolong life.
An example is moving to another place of residence or even tourism, when local unusual cuisine is not accepted by the body and health problems begin.
If a resident of the Far North, who has been eating fatty protein foods all his life, decides to go to Europe with carbohydrate-rich dishes, there is a high risk of diabetes and digestive problems.
You don't have to go far for examples, look around. Some people hate milk, others love plant food, and still others will go hungry if they don't eat a big piece of meat. Maybe this is not without reason?
Common food table for all groups
Let's get acquainted with the research of Dr. D'Adamo, who divided foods according to blood type, highlighting prohibited, permitted and neutral.
Legend:
- Products that should be limited are indicated by a "-" sign;
- Permission - "+";

Features of feeding behavior (predator, meat eater)
Absolutely all ancient people living in a primitive communal system had the first blood group, and all the rest arose through mutation.
Now remember the history of the ancient world, archaeological excavations and findings of scientists - 40, 000 years ago, primitive people made a living by hunting and gathering. Their main diet consisted of meat, meat and more meat, and then roots. , herbs and those few edible fruits and berries that grew in the forests.
Thus, the owners of the first group keep the genes of the most ancient predators and at the gene level their body needs as much protein as possible. Unfortunately, the diet is the worst. If you decide on such a diet, you will need a large numberYou will have to give up your favorite foods.

Characteristics of eating behavior (farmers)
25, 000 years ago, meat-eating hunter-gatherers learned to cultivate the land and harvest its bounty. This is the beginning of the development of an agricultural lifestyle. People began to build settlements, cultivate fields, grow grain crops and vegetables. done.
Protein food became less, animals moved away from people and meat became more difficult to obtain.
Sometimes the second blood group is called "vegetarian". The largest number of its speakers live in Europe.

Peculiarities of eating behavior (nomadism)
As soon as milk and dairy products began to be actively included in the diet, and this happened about 10, 000 years ago, the blood again mutated.

Does Rh factor affect nutrition?
From school we know that there are four blood groups in total, and taking into account the Rh factor, their number doubles. It was first discovered after research on rhesus monkeys, that's why it got its name. Rh factorCan be positive and is designated (Rh+) or negative (Rh-). It indicates the presence or absence of antigens (proteins) found on the surface of red blood cells (erythrocytes).
But in fact, the division of blood into only four groups is arbitrary - if we took into account all the properties of blood, there would be much more of them. D. Adamo ignores this fact.
There is no mention of the influence of the Rh factor in D'Adamo's famous book. Since more than 80% of the world's population has a positive Rh factor, the diet is specifically designed for these people.
Contraindications to diet
Without prior consultation with your doctor, it is prohibited to follow the diet on your own for people with the following diseases:
- diabetes;
- chronic digestive problems;
- hematopoietic disorders;
- ARVI.
Also, if an illness has worsened, it is not advisable to go on any diet until you feel better.

weight loss reviews
- "This is an ideal diet for people who do not have any health problems. But, if you are overweight, all kinds of diseases already occur, so the diet stops working. Of course, it is convenientThat there is a wide selection of products, but this method I did not like - the doctor refused to eat all the products allowed in the table. It turned out that the table contradicts the doctor's recommendations by almost 90%.
- "I do not have a medical education, but I clearly see big disadvantages - the diet is completely unscientific. One of them is that people with the second group should rely on a vegetarian diet, and those with the third and fourthYes they are omnivores, but they are descendants of another group. Normally, I wouldn't even try.
- "I lost 10 kg in just a few months! The blood group diet is great, it's easy to lose weight. I think you can stay on this diet for the rest of your life. I recommend this amazing diet to all those peopleI do it for anyone who wants to lose weight! "
- "The blood type diet is complete nonsense. Do not torture yourself with these healthy, harmful and neutral products. Eat everything in moderation, without fanaticism. If you want something sweet, eat 1-2 candies, chocolateNot a whole strip; if you want bread, cut off a slice and eat it, but don't starve yourself.
- "I showed products approved for the second blood group at work - the whole team was laughing, wiping away tears and eating meat cutlets (yes, yes, half of our team are "farmers"). To be honest, I more thanNever seen a stupider and completely unacceptable diet! "
Doctors' opinion and criticism
The blood test diet was not approved by doctors. After all, each person is so individual that it is necessary to conduct complex research and have data on more than sixty specific genes that are responsible for endocrine and enzymatic activity, and only then create a diet. . And blood type in this case is a very generalized factor and cannot be responsible for the correctness of the menu of a particular person.
Thus, doctors clearly admit that D'Adamo's theory has no scientific basis, it has been little studied, but it does not cause any particular harm. And in some cases, it helps to stimulate the body andAlso helps activate a more accelerated metabolism.
In addition, D'Adamo included really harmful products among the prohibited foods for all blood groups - sausages and smoked meats, store-bought sauces, ice cream, carbonated drinks, alcohol and some others.
Well, do not forget about the placebo effect - a person believes and loses weight.
