Blood Type Diets: The truth about the hot new fad.

From a former chasefreedom.com visitor:

These theories are not supported by scientific literature and the research has not been confirmed anywhere else.

A little bit of time spent studying a biology book, or a human physiology text book, would dismiss the idea that blood type could specify dietary requirements. There is absolutely no scientific studies done to support this premise.

This program is based on the premise that you should eat certain foods in regards to your blood type. Some types are told that they need to eat a balance between protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Where the program gets really ridiculous, or down-right dangerous for someone with severe weight problems, is that some blood types are told that they should not eat lean meats, or only vegetables, or can’t eat certain vegetables, etc. Without knowing the individual and their fitness goals, how can anyone determine these requirements?

If you really need to lose some weight, see your doctor, get to a gym, eat smarter, don’t check your blood type.

Have you ever wondered who the people are who come up with these obscure diets? My friend actually went on this diet where she had to eat the right food for her blood type. Since she is an O+, she was told to stay away from proteins because supposedly her body was not made to synthesize protein.

First of all, animal protein has nothing to do with blood type. Blood type just measures how your blood cells bind with protein fibers.

Second of all, this diet was so restrictive that she might as well have have starved herself and gotten better results.

Third of all, diets don’t work unless you are on them for the rest of your life! Seriously, I hear women constantly complain about how they gain all of their weight back once they go off their diet. It’s true. Diets are a lifestyle.
