Consider his work when you are assessing the effect of eating certain foods. If you experience symptoms after eating certain foods or your weight goes up noticeably it may be because the food is considered non beneficial for your blood type. If you see this type of reaction to eating certain foods and it is on the avoid list for your blood type then try to have a diet that avoids that food.

You may also find you react to certain foods that are on your neutral ( ok)  list. This means that for you it is not ok, or you have an underlying issue that means you are temporarily not metabolising that food that needs to be addressed in some other way.

The main point to be made here is to listen to your body and what works for you and does not work for you regardless of whether it is on a list of some sort. The lists are just a mere guide to help guide you towards a diet that work for you.

I can provide you with a blood test form to take to any testing lab to get this done. 

Most people will lose weight following their blood type diet. However, compared to Shed for life and Shake It, it takes longer to shift weight if you have a lot to lose. It may be better to ‘kick start’ your weight loss goal with one of these programmes first and then move onto a maintenance programme which includes being aware of eating right for your blood type.

Blood Typing

If you do not know your blood type and you are interested then you can ask your doctor to have a blood test done or we can email you a form to take to the lab to get done directly. This will get sent back to me. 

Advanced Typing – Genotyping

Dr D’Adamo has furthered his work which allows the blood typing at the basic level to be further refined. This work is reflected in his book called ‘The genotype Diet’ and requires a more complex set of measures to be undertaken to determine your genotype. If you are interested in this work, you can either purchase the book or have me undertake this for you.
