Based on the results, it will be easier to determine how you should be eating to stay healthy and lose excess weight. The two ways to determine metabolic type are through a blood test or with a questionnaire.

There are several test out there, so don’t let this be your main focus, when looking for the right diet for you!
This can be confusing and so is all the different diets out there. Contradictions are all over the place from one nutrition book to the next. Don’t let it get the best of you! Knowing more is knowing less.
So what is important to known! Listen to your body and if that doesn’t help get some proffessional advice that can help you distinguish your habits and foods.
The same diet that works well for someone else may provide no help or even be harmful for you.
And the diet that works well for you may provide no help or even be harmful for someone else.
Because each of us is unique. Each of us has a distinct Metabolic Type.
And the right diet for one Metabolic Type is the wrong diet for another Metabolic Type.
| The concept to “Eat Right For Your Type” – or “Blood Type Diet ” – is based on research conducted by |
| Peter D’Adamo, ND, who claims that people fare better (including with weight management), when tailoring |
| their diet to their specific blood types. He advises: |
| Type A types should basically stick to fruits and vegetables (high carbs / low fat). |
| They have thicker blood than other blood types, a sensitive immune system, |
| and should not consume dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are at |
| a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. |
| Type B types should consume a balanced diet (fruits and vegetables, grains, fish, dairy, meat, |
| but avoid chicken). They have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming |
| everyday types of diseases, including heart disease and cancer. |
| Type AB types should consume a mostly vegetarian diet, and only on rare occasions some |
| fish, meat (no chicken), and dairy. |
| Type O types should basically stick to a high protein diet (including red meat), low carbs, and |
| enriched with fruits and vegetables. They should limit the intake of wheat germ, |
| whole wheat products, corn, and avoid dairy products and most nuts. |
| Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid.Hope this was helpful, see you next time and remember..Good Health is Good Living! Stay Free! |
