You must have noticed: your friend claims she is getting fat from potatoes, and the piece of meat eaten by your mother for another week reminds you of herself with a figure on the scales. The question arises: why do some people improve on seemingly harmless foods? American physician Peter D'Adamo found the answer: according to his theory, the main difference between people is not at all weight, height and skin color, but blood type. Find out how the blood type diet works.
Diet according to blood group
In nature, there are four types of human blood, and therefore four types of foods. Thus, the same product can ideally suit one person, be useless to another and "neutral" to a third, and at the same time be the main pest in the fourth nutritional system.
Each blood group interacts in its own way with lecithin - the most important building blocks of cellular substances. Lecithins are found in all tissues of the human body and are regularly supplied with food. But at the same time, in terms of chemical composition, the lecithins contained, for example, in meat, differ from lecithins in buckwheat. A blood type diet helps you choose exactly those lecithins for which your body needs to function happily and harmoniously. And most importantly: the "right" lecithins are excellent helpers in such a difficult matter as weight loss.
In his research, the legendary physician also relied on evolutionary theory, according to which each blood group appeared at different times. Thus, their first carriers had a certain profession, and thus taste habits. Together with Cosmo, look for "blood ancestors" and determine which products are necessary and important to you.
Diet for the first blood group
The first blood group was called "hunting". The correct diet for the first blood group is predictable and includes foods high in meat protein.
Say yes:
- red meat;
- underwear;
- protein vegetables (choose broccoli, beans and artichokes);
- fatty varieties of seafood and seafood;
- olive oil;
- arra.
Say no:
- foods high in gluten (wheat, oats);
- dairy products with a high percentage of fat in legumes;
- any cabbage (including Brussels sprouts) as well as cauliflower.
Diet for the second blood group
Representatives of the second group are characterized as "farmers" and admirers of vegetarianism and fruit diet. Consequently, meat products are not the most desirable diet guest for the second blood group.
Say yes:
- any vegetables;
- vegetable oils;
- cereals and grains (with extreme caution - containing gluten);
- fruits such as pineapple, apricot, grapefruit, fig, lemon, plum;
Say no:
- dairy products;
- wheat dishes;
- beans (difficult to digest due to high protein content);
- drink as soda.
If you have not even thought of giving up meat, choose dietary varieties: chicken, turkey, beef. And, contrary to vegetarian advice, you can take advantage of any lean fish.
Diet for the third blood group
The third group was called "nomads". Representatives of this group can be considered almost ubiquitous: almost every product is adequately perceived by their body.
Say yes:
- animal protein sources (preferably meat and seafood);
- eggs;
- any dairy product;
- cereals (except buckwheat and wheat);
- vegetables (except corn and tomatoes);
- various fruits.
Say no:
- pork and chicken;
- nuts, especially peanuts;
- olive oil;
- alcohol.
"Nomads" very rarely suffer from excess weight compared to the rest, so a diet according to the third blood group becomes, first of all, a way to regulate metabolism and maintain good health.
Diet for the fourth blood group
Owners of the fourth blood group D'Adamo called "riddles". This group is considered the youngest of all, and was formed as a result of the union of the first and the second, therefore combining their pros and cons.
Say yes:
- soy in various forms (especially tofu);
- fish and caviar;
- dairy products with any fat content;
- green vegetables and fruits;
- rice;
- manaferrat;
- dry red wine.
Say no:
- red meat;
- underwear;
- beans in any form;
- buckwheat, corn and wheat;
- fruits such as oranges, bananas, guava, coconut, mango, pomegranate, persimmon;
- mushrooms;
- arra.
For "mysterious" people are characterized by nervous instability, as well as a weak gastrointestinal tract. But the immune system of the owners of a rare fourth group is distinguished by sensitivity and adaptability to any condition.
According to D'Adamo, if you follow a diet according to blood type, getting rid of excess weight will surely come after metabolic processes are established and cells begin to receive building material.
