I had no idea blood type affected exercise results.

I just eat well, lift well, and sleep well.

Most people don't.

Eating foods that are wrong for your blood type will affect your sleep, your energy levels, your brain function and how you feel.

I never would have believed it before. After 2 solid years of 'real' food for my blood type, it's horribly amazing how crappy I feel when I eat wrong.  It's amazing what it does to my digestive system and my head.  Bleah!

Peace

Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type
It's a great book, and very intriguing and seems like it would work, but I'm AB and that diet is just so strict I can't even do it. From what I remember it has the restrictions of both A and B, but I'm a meat and potatoes kinda guy, I don't feel right if I haven't eaten any meat. Also I remember chicken was frowned upon for all blood types and that would be pretty hard for me too.

Yes, AB has the most restrictive neutral/beneficial food lists. You just need to cook/prepare better, I know as I've had to do it for other AB's before.  The meat issue is because lamb and wild game meats (What you thrive on) are ridiculously expensive and often bad quality.

Turkey is ok and if you're getting the red meats you need, you won't miss the chicken.  Potatoes, I believe you can still have sweet or yam, not sure as I haven't cooked for an AB in a while.

You can have miso or tempeh if it's made with northern bean or kidney bean.  Just adding those two components to your cooking arsenal will open up a huge arena of flavors you'll enjoy.

Want a snack?  Peanut butter, Honey and raw steel cut oats.  Mix honey into the peanut butter (REAL peanut butter, no hydrogi garbage) until it's to your liking.  Add oatmeal until the texture is right for you.  I prefer it when I can pick a piece off with my fingers and not get peanut butter on them.

All of the seriously ill, seizure, headache, 'strange medical issue' people I've met have been AB.  Just to let you know.

Every blood type can eat rich and well with their list, even the AB.  You need to think outside the box of food you've been raised with.  Remember too that the lists are American centric; there are a lot of foods that are not listed that you should try and catalog for yourself.  Once your system is clean for a month or so, it'll let you know when you ate something you shouldn't.


Totally awesome stuff!

Wow thanks for the detailed response man! I might just give it a go because the logic behind the book really was very convincing, and even before reading it I already knew that there just can't be any one diet for all 7 billion humans. I always figured that we should eat the foods that are natural to where we're from, so being that my family is Eastern European I always tried to eat lots of meat, potatoes, cabbage, hearty stuff. Of course, I yet again won the recessive trait lottery, this time with my blood type.

I probably wouldn't be eating any of the recommended red meats so would turkey alone be enough for me to keep healthy? Also, we don't know my wife's blood type but assuming it's A or B, will we be able to eat the same meals together, since I most likely have the same restrictions? Oh yeah, and is it ok to eat raw mushrooms occassionally? Thanks again for taking the time to write all that, this has completely renewed my interest in this.
BTW, those peanut butter snacks have me

Blood type kits are less than $20 off amazon and other places, shipping included.
Cooking for multiple blood types takes juggling.  Look for foods that are neutral beneficial for you both, that you like and look for new foods that are beneficial for each of you.  Plan accordingly.

I do, as long as it's neutral or beneficial for my blood type.   They're easier to digest cooked though.
