Is eating for your blood type is a popular idea, but is it a good idea? Dr. Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll with new research. Plus, he answers your question: "Can my cholesterol be too low?"
I'm a type O and I used to have some minor issues with my health (skin, allergies and digestion) but I also felt sad about animals, so I decided to follow a strict vegetarian/lacto-ovo diet for about 3 years. That stupid idea was enough to destroy my entire system! I started having problems sleeping, my gluten intolerance increased exponencially, I started having a very serious IBS problem, my colon was destroyed and I felt anxious all the time. After visiting different doctors, hundreds of hours of research and lots of trial-error experiments I realized the worst decision I could ever made in my entire little life was taking meat out of my diet. Now all I eat is meat of every kind (cow, veal, lamb, chicken, pork, etc) and a lot of soup made from bones (cow, chicken feet, ox tail, etc) because the colagen from bones repairs your colon. Being a type O, I feel better than ever now I'm a carnivore! 👍👍👍

I'm type o and didn't eat meat for 6 years. I lost tons of weight initially, to the point where people thought I had an eating disorder because I was so skinny and I had dark circles under my eyes. I also lost a lot of hair, it thinned out so badly and was dry and brittle, and I got weird dry patches on my skin and I felt tired all the time. I then switched back to eating meat and immediately felt better, more energy, more focused and my hair grew lush and shiny again! I simply cannot go back to a meatless diet. We need to consider the long term effects and everyone needs to do what is right for them, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
Yes thank you for your comment. I hate studies like this that site weight loss over a short time as a merit for health. There's so much else to consider! I'm glad you're doing well now and have learned what works for you!
Eating the blood type diet works and whoever say it doesn't is crazy. I ate my blood type diet up until my 30s and I was super fit and ripped. My mother had me mostly on the peskatarian diet almost 90% blood type diet and I looked great. I stopped eating blood type in my late 30s and put on 80 lbs and got health problems. I went back to blood diet eating and lost alot of weight and put muscle back on and is looking so much better. My cravings of sugar went away and I feel wonderful. My blood work is excellent.
I’ve always felt we are all bio individual when it comes to many things, especially the food we put in our body. I’m type O negative. Most times I’d choose vegan not for health but for ethical reasons. I always felt “empty” when i eat meat i feel grounded and my sugar cravings go away. The only way to know is to try I would say try yourself. I still have guilt eating beautiful creatures but it’s when i feel healthiest. Plus I have vegan friends or won’t eat steak cus it’s “gross” but also upsets their stomach greatly. Meat has never hurt my stomach. Like I said, i feel more grounded and calm, eat less, and sugar becomes a distant memory. Glad to see this comment of yours
Guys, i follow the blood group diet according to the real book. Not what dr. Bernard thinks the book says. And following the real book 'eat right for your blood type' greatly helped me. Don't let this video mislead you.
I totally agree with you. I always am skeptical of anyone suggesting one way of eating for everyone. The blood type diet is way more personalized and it just makes sense.
I’ve tried for years to be vegan. I mean like 2 decades. I feel better when I eat proteins and veggies ☹️ specifically cow. makes me feel calmer and more grounded. I tried vegan for ethical reasons over the years but at the cost of feeling hungry and weak. and yes, I did it correctly. If you knew all the vegan books, videos and friends who are amazing cooks that thrive off it you’d know I wasn’t a misinformed vegan
The real book "eating right for your blood type" has been around for a very long time. Me personally along with a few friends had used this book and saw amazing results. It truly does work. My problem with this video is that they chose to do studies on a vegan only diet. Pretty much everyone who goes vegan are guaranteed to lose weight no matter what. But for some people, going vegan isn't sustainable or suitable for them. Vagan diets can also be very dangerous for people who have nut allergies. I feel like more and more the media and pretty much everywhere is pushing plant base non stop.
Exactly, these guys think diets are for losing weight only, only that matters. To lose weight you only need to eat less calories than you need, that's it, but if you eat foods that your inmune system sees as a threat you will feel sick most of the time. It's not just about losing weight.
If I eat only veggies/fruits I lose tons of weight BUT my knees ache, my stomach hurst constantly and my anxiety hits the roof. Been carnivore/keto for 2 weeks all my health issues have resolved! Even my doctor has been harping on me to cut my carbs for years. Veganism is carbs carbs carbs....my body does NOT like carbs.

I’m type O and ate veg and fruits ONLY for almost two months. It felt great!! Lost a ton of weight, until I didn’t feel well and couldn’t stop losing weight. Added meat back in and almost immediately felt better. Cleansing is great, but the blood type diet works perfectly for me. Do what feels right for you!
It’s thinly veiled vegan propaganda. You said you felt better when you added meat. Well, duh, vegetables do NOT HAVE healthy fats OR even the crucial B vitamins. Not only that, meat sources of CRUCIAL vitamins AND minerals are orders of magnitude more bio-available than ANY plant source. This doctor in the video is and absolute quack. Eg. The idiot apparently can’t recognize or doesn’t know that CHOLESTEROL is absolutely essential and that low cholesterol is HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF DISEASE, not less. I’d really like to know (and you do not mention) who is funding your program or your research! Finally, DOCTORS DO NOT STUDY nutrition. They farm that out to home ec students who have typically never had any lab or science background.
Your blood type has nothing to do with it. Any person with any blood type could do exactly the same thing you did. Imagine if this was about hair color - would you say that the Hair Color Diet works because when you ate vegetables and fruits you lost weight?
return business... Allopathic Medicine is a SICK CARE BUSINESS, not a WELLNESS or PREVENTION BUSINESS. One cannot become wealthy or even legends in their own minds by paracticing wellness, health instead of selling procedures and concoctions. I once sat by my mom's hospital bed the evening before her bypass surgery that rendered her an invalid, mentally and physically. A bit of angina discomfort on consderable exertion was her only symptom. She could not be diswayed from following the drastic route. Her dinner tray arrived.... mac & cheese, tea with cream, coconut custard pie with cheese and ice cream, and 4 OREO's....
IT'S ALL FOR MONEY... IF YOU'RE HEALTHY, THEY DON'T GET MONEY FROM YOU, SO THEY NEED U TO KEEP COMING BACK SICK. THE MEDICAL MAFIA CREATED BY THE WORST DRUG TRAFFIC MAFIA- THE LEGAL ONE - BIG PHARMA! SAD BUT TRUE, THNX TO CAPITALISM THAT MOST OF YOU LOVE. IF YOU ALL HAD VOTED FOR BERNIE SANDERS THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY B PART OF THE DISTURBING PAST, BEC HE WANTED TO COPY THE SCANDINAVIAN & NORDIC COUNTRIES HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM WHICH IS ALSO IN NEED OF REPAIR URGENTLY. SAD.SAD.SAD... THE VICTIM SYNDROME.🙁😕😥😩😢
have you all noticed that when starting to read up on your blood type related suggested foods and ones to avoid...you realize that even without knowing any of this you were already more or less following the suggested diet naturally by liking or not liking certain things?... so in my humble opinion Blood type dieting is real... and it certainly isn't new .... the fact that "modern science " is finally catching up with it is great :)
The people who prefer an all-meat diet would disagree with you since "modern science" is demonstrating that such a diet is worse than a vegan diet. Based on your comment, you just-so-happen to be eating a vegan diet already, correct? Therefore your perspective on all of this is coming from already having chosen correctly by sheer chance. Imagine if you had to choose, from four overturned cups, which one had a prize under it. You choose the cup based on your blood type, leave it overturned, and I slowly reveal all of the other cups have nothing underneath (as an analogy for science catching up). When your chosen cup is the last cup and I overturn it to reveal the prize, it doesn't mean that my made up Blood Type Cup Choice system is real - it's just a coincidence.
That´s exactly what happened to me!! I am writing it here over and over. I went to a nutritionist because I felt tired and weak all the time. Some time before that, already feeling not ok, I started eating based on "public health" reccomendations, you know, the "pyramid". Made me feel worse. The nutritionist went through a questionaire with me, asking me what I like and dislike.."Do you know your blood type?" "No idea." "I think you might be 0". They sent my blood to hospital to find out whyt type, whether any diseases etc. Then they provided me with a long list of recommended, ok, forbidden foods... And lucky me, all the recommended stuff was the stuff I liked and the forbidded was everything I hated anyway... There were like 2% that were "off".
Started eating food according to my blood type and I the best I've felt in the last 8 years. Type O. I've eliminated oranges, avocado, kidney beans, coconut, and many other foods. Increased mango, black beans, dark green veggies, and exercise 2 days a week. I've lost 16 pounds in 2 months.
Do you know what the reasoning is behind no avocados? I'd like to know the science behind it. Because I am a typo and I've eaten avocados for a long time and never felt any bad impact necessarily
As a person with O- blood I’ve always craved fish with a lot of protein but I stay away from to much carbohydrates, and sugar. And I enjoy most anything that grows from the ground. I’m 58 and my first check up was a year ago with 0 health problems. As a result I am lean and with a little time in the gym have a decent muscle pack.
I’m type O, was vegan for 3 years. Started struggling 2 1/2 years into that diet. It took me awhile to figure it out, started adding meat and the recommended foods and took out what the book said and started feeling much better!! Still healing from the vegan diet, onward and upward!
I m type 0 also and always had issues with my stomach, I ve been trying out eating mostly meat and eggs for 2 months now (with occasional breaks from the rule). Somehow I hardly ever have any stomach pain. One thing that concerned me was that I wasn't visiting toilet as often and there was a time where I wasn't 'in need' for it for 7days. Surprisingly I didn't have much stomach ache but there was some on day 6. Overall there was a huge difference after changing to mainly meat, mostly positive, but I m still testing it.
@@deanherde805yeah because of course cholesterol will decrease if you’re not eating it and weight loss doesn’t determine health. I would’ve loved to hear the feedback regarding symptoms and other factors beside the cholesterol and weight loss.
I'm type 0 positive and was on the Vegan diet for two years I lost weight but gained fat which he doesn't mention plus I had no energy. Now I am a Carnivore and feel much better so maybe blood types do matter what you eat.
You’re absolutely correct… people are going to continue to put trash in their body and get sicker. Those people will continue to make excuses so they can continue their bad habits..
I am bloid type A+ and went vegan for 3 yrs in my early 50's to lose weight, to reduce inflammation in my body (mainly osteo arthritis), correct menopause induced gut issues including GERD. I did NOT lose any weight in fact put on a little extra weight. I did WFPB everything, did NOT eat fake meat or processed vegan food, made my own nut milks, soaked all my legumes etc to reduce lectins. Bought organic everything. It was VERY expensive, VERY time consuming but felt ok. 2yrs in i was feeling like i was lacking in nutrients, fatigued etc. I am very in tune with my body, was healthy metabolically with an already generally high genetic cholesterol/LDL levels. I am on no meds, and overall super healthy just could not lose weight (needed to lose 18kg in the end). Initially I felt well but just over 2 yrs in I felt fatigued and like I was lacking in something. My gut was leaky (partly diagnosed due to too much fiber) and my GERD returned even worse. I stuck it out for nearly another year, and I'm sure it damaged me more in the end. I introduced an egg or 2 a week for a month (was craving them) and then some salmon once a week. Then for the next 3 yrs played around with loose keto, ketovore etc and it helped all of my issues made worse by WFPB vegan. I have found a happy medium eating a red meat meal on the days I workout and salmon, chicken etc on non workout days. My biggest progress was coming off all sugars and bad seed oils and starting 16:8 IF 2yrs ago with 2MAD. I still struggled with weight loss (only dropped 6kg over yrs) but am only now just starting to see weight shift after finding Dr Mindy Pelz on YT a few months ago 👍 I have started weekly variation fasting and concentrate on the right amount of protein for a 58 yo post menopausal woman, lower carbs (mainly some vege/fruit), good fats and some fermented foods daily. Everday i have ACV b4 my main meal, take collagen peptides and drink bone both a few times a week which has all rid me of GERD and heal my gut. Eggs I have at least 2-4 a day and my cholesterol is slowly moving down. So vegan is wrong for me....blood type A. I also had COVID mid 2022 and did not suffer with any respiratory issues (not vaccd either) but had myself on a COVID supplements protocol during the bulk of the pandemic, sunlight practices, cold dips and sauna. Which I still practice. So this theory may be too generalised re blood types in the end? Were there other varying health factors in the study participants?🤔 should we go deeper and ask does A+ vs A- change things too?
I totally agree with you. I'm A- and tried no meat after reading "Eat right for your type." Started eating more whole grains like the book says for type A. I felt horrible. Added meat back in less grains and feel way better.
Rh factor doesn't matter for the basic blood type diet, but You might be in the roughly 20% of type A folk who are 'non-secretors' (who have altered food lists). Peter D'Adamo's website explains this distinction.
@@j.a.lucky13I’m also A- ; what kinds of meats - red or only lean meats? I’m currently following pescatarian but have found that I’m doing quite well on a mostly plant based diet. I have an autoimmune disease so I’m keen to try the blood type diet. See if it works. Currently seeing mixed reports.
@@keatongroom I honestly am starting to believe that the things to stay away from is seed oils, fried foods in seed oils and hfcs. Those I think are the main contributors to the health problems we have since they have been introduced into our diet.
As odd as blood type seems, I have to say I've seen dramatic health benefits for my clients, not even following it perfectly. I think science needs to explore this more.
I'm convinced it comes down to blood type with why one person succeeds on a lifestyle diet, while others feel like crap. I'm not 100% compliant with the AB blood type diet, but there are many things I don't eat for my blood type. I gave up chicken over a year ago and feel great, I also limit my corn products too.
Its not about losing weight, every diet will lose weight. Its about markers in your body causing inflammation because of the food you eat. I am type A and I do well on a veg diet with fish. When i did the carnivore, of course I lost weight also, however my blood pressure was higher and I tended to get sick more with low energy.
So what do you eat now ? I'm blood type A ..and been doing lamb meat bone broth and minimal berries but not fat adapted..dehydrated skin , hair, body, stools.
I believe In the blood type diet, because as a blood type B everything was true for me, when I switch to the diet I saw excellent results. Especially when I stop eat chicken
Hello fellow blood type Bs. I felt better as soon as I stopped eating chicken and tomatoes. Eating lamb everyday 👍 I’ve always loved lamb, so everything 100% accurate for me.
I'm "O" blood type. Prior to eating for my type, I was taking prescriptions for a variety of different ailments. 15 months later, I've been getting excellent results on my checkups from eating Grass-fed red meat from the Amish and dark leafy vegetables. Stomach acid in blood type "O" is a real thing. I do take a doctor's advice into consideration, but what I know to be true... It's not in the best interest of their career for everyone to be in their healthiest condition ever. If we don't get sick, their lifestyle begins to take a turn. There are a variety of ways to lose weight. Weight loss doesn't always equal optimal health. Doctors seldom recommend nutritional regiments to cure/improve my ailments (even when I specifically ask). Their "go-to" rather are prescriptions to fix everything. They only recommend what foods aren't compatible with your meds. Prior to my dad's death...he was on 22 different prescriptions per day. None of his doctors recommended that he eliminate inferior pork from his diet when he was still healthy enough for it to matter. Pig ears, hog mogs, chitterlings etc. It says a lot, that eating for my type has eliminated my dependency on meds. Unless I end up on a surgery table, because my airplane fell from the sky, I'm going to continue consulting with my body for nutrition and diagnosing its long-term effects. Dr. Peter D' Adamo has far less to gain from book sales, than he would from office visits and prescriptions upwards of $800 per pill. I trust that🙂.
All I can say is that It works for me! Now, some things that are “supposed” to be beneficial for my blood type, doesn’t make me feel good, at all. I just chose to stay away from those foods and stick to those that “acts” like a medicine for me. My food journal has helped me TREMENDOUSLY in learning more about what works and what doesn’t for me!! My advice is do what works best for you because in this instance, it’s not a one size fits all kind of thing. We’re all different 😉
I am a A type blood and after being mind controlled for most of my life following the standard american diet /S.A.D, go figure. I had a massive stroke, which kept me in rehabilitation mode for years. I was paralyzed on my left side of my body and my cognition was in the toilet. I researched and found out that I should be eating plants. I went vegan 6 years ago and it saved me! I got my mojo back! I have never felt better in my whole life and I am 50+! This is life saving information if you are sincere about living. Peace people!
At 6:52. This study where they had everyone on the vegan diet and type O had great results….how long were they on this vegan plan? When I went vegan several years ago I did great! It felt amazing and I was maintaining my weight. But after many years things started to shift negatively in my health. I couldn’t digest beans, I think because of irreparable damage from undiagnosed celiac in my early life, so I couldn’t seem to get enough protein no matter how hard I tired. My hair started falling out, I have gained 35 pounds in the last three and a half years, my digestive issues have returned, and a number of other problems including anemia that is just debilitating me. My joints hurt and my skin is dull. I have been researching on what to do and it led me to blood type diet. I have followed Dr Bernard for a long time and have his books. But if this study is to sway me, I’d like to know how long it was? If just a few months or a year, that’s not long enough, is it? I have seen many videos and blogs from people who were vegan for years like me and have the same symptoms…they say their symptoms went away when they added some animal protein. I’m just looking for answers. It’s difficult because I have been committed to the health benefits for vegan…but where are they for me? They were short lived 😕 And I have learned to be committed to the ethical reasons and that’s going to be hard to let go of. 😢😢😢 But I am unwell and no longer thriving health wise.
Yes!!!!! I am O type and I been vegan for a year and a half. At first it was aaaammmmazzzzing but then recently here I started experiencing high blood pressure! I HARDLY EAT SALT! I just found out I am low on potassium. If I'm not mistaken meat has alot of potassium correct?my doctor prescribed me a diuretic to remove salt from my body to lower my blood pressure but I'm not taking that crap because 1. I hardly eat salt as it is and 2. That medication uses potassium (in which I'm already deficient in) to help lower blood pressure. I say this because I'm letting you know that you aren't crazy. O type needs meat.
@@kutieluvsmj7 Thank you for sharing that. I'm still trying to figure this all out. ..I went on the blood type diet two months ago and now my periods are terrible. I had cramps and breast tenderness for TWO WEEKS prior and I don't know...is it the eggs? Too much estrogen from animals? I'm about to start my third period and I have cut down on the eggs, so we will see. So far I haven't had the two weeks of symptoms. Vegan was the one thing that had set me straight for the first time in my life, but I'm not balanced in other areas. 😭 And I recently learned that the blood type diet book I read and all the cook books I bought were out of date according to new research Ugh! Did you know that? What a disappointment lol Apparently we are to follow an app and not the book. I haven't gotten the app yet but my facebook group is saying we aren't supposed to eat eggs every day. 🤔
Maybe adding some bone broth and a little meat once a week with an enzyme could help. I'm type A ,so I only eat meat once a eek now. I feel so much better. My type o friend started eating meat and feels better. I think the blood type diet can work for many. Not all. Listen to the body. Ask her what she needs. She is wise.
This only talks about weight loss and not inflammation markers. D’Adamo spoke of inflammation from irritants and slight allergic reactions like runny nose, sinus issues, to full blown responses like lactose intolerance, rapid heartbeat, long term illnesses like “age related”diseases such as arthritis, hardening of the arteries, altered mental status, cancer and others. In industrialized nations (most of them), where people from different parts of the world and different blood types come to reside, people are eating their common foods (food from the country occupied). In the USA, we all eat pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers, sushi, potato chips, etc. There’s no way all blood types react the same way to eating those foods. This doctor does not accurately portray D’Adamo’s description or intent.
That doesn’t justify the blood type claim though (if that’s what you’re saying). I agree 100% that your background/genetics play a huge role in how food effects your body. But most markers of health go down drastically from overall weight loss as well as consuming a variety of fruits and veggies
@@jaleelf8061 D’Adamo surmised that different blood types react to fruits and vegetables differently. Especially those not native to their homeland. Some folks are allergic to pineapple, tomatoes (could the seeds and skins cause an adverse effect like gut leakage as claimed by Dr. Gundry?🤷♂️), nuts? (toxins in raw nuts, pesticides? 🤷♂️), honey? I’m from the Caribbean. Will a Scottish staple cause an adverse effect? Will eating bread, which is not native to my land cause distress or in my case, slows my elimination and digestion in others? Other than sprouted bread on occasion, I’ve completely eliminated it from my diet. Pizza is a treat, but slows my pipes. As D’Adamo claimed, some foods have either a positive, neutral, or negative/detrimental effect on different blood types. Some folks either tolerate more or ignore their symptoms all together (acid reflux, swelling of the tongue and throat requiring epinephrine or Benadryl, blood sugar fluctuations). I personally can not eat fruit alone on an empty stomach or my blood sugar drops. I can eat it with a protein and healthy fat rich meal. O + here, Indigenous, Spaniard, and African.
I agree with you! It was only looked at through a small lens. Many “vegans” have a tendency to eat lots of carbs & cheese, that cannot be digested by type Os. Too narrowed of an outcome for me.
I am a rare AB type and I bought the book on this blood group diet and did it strictly for three months, rather sceptical initially. But the positive health results were amazing. However it was too hard Ie costly and time consuming, anti social etc and plain boring to remain on such an austere regime forever. I still do it, but in a modified form to make it bearable. But, if my health starts to feel lousey, I start doing this draconian diet more strictly, to get back on track. It does work. For me at least, maybe not other people, I can't say.
I am blood type 0 and I used to eat meat, fish, chicken, eggs and milk because I was told it was good for me. on my early 50th I became ill with Carpel Tunnel ( I was in a waiting list for an operation), I had fluid accumulated in one knee which gave me pain every day and I was one year from developing Diabetes. My cholesterol was high, my sugar was high and I was overweight. I went into a Plant base diet for my health and I become Vegan four years ago, I lost weight, no more fluid in my knee , my cholesterol and sugar are great and My Carpel tunnel problem disappeared so no operation. I am turning 62 this year and I am feeling with energy, happy and no pain. PLANT - BASE go Vegan for the animals
OMG is this Dr serious? WOW He did a 45-day study to see how blood types did on a new vegan diet? they found all types did good? Well, I did good at first too but then I learned how to make delicious vegan food and gained my weight back and then some. My 4th year in I lost 70% of MY HAIR! I gave up after trying everything. In my 5th yr, I quit being a vegan and 8 months later. I had a head full of thick, wavy shiny soft hair! I started eating meat again! I am O+. There is NO WAY to know in such a short period of time! No way! I'm going to try the blood type diet, and I'll let you know how I do! I'm starting today!
you probably lacked collagen, but totally agree with you, 45 days is not enough to know haha. Not only that but these youtube doctors think that the only thing that mattters is losing weight, "see? a vegan diet makes you lose weight, it's good", yeah I can lose weight by eating only paper but it will probably kill me
My personal experience with my own body and from opinions of others with different blood types actually roughly agree with what Dr. Peter D'adamo had recommended years ago. From among my contacts through some general questions and without having them knowing before-hand the purpose behind those questions, in almost all cases except for very rare exceptions, I found that my contacts with type O blood type loves to eat red meat, feels much better, livelier with red-meat based diet than vegan diet (not 100% meat but with substantial amount of it). One particular contact with kind of chronic stomach problem told me he felt much healthier with red-meat based diet than without. However, that kind of diet is usually not normal in homes in our culture in India and it was not a regular feature in that persons diet too, which he obviously lamented having followed for 70 years, being already in later part of his life. But, contrasting his experience of 70 years with mine of 50 years I could easily make out the differences. My blood type is of type A and I usually feel much better, calmer, low on anxiety and stomach problems when I stay on fruits and vegetables with occassional red-meat. I had tried complete vegan diet for some months but that did not work in long term. So, that was baffling for me as it did not go along with Dr. Adamo's recommendation and neither with our traditional cultural diet of spicy vegan food and regular fish and dairy products. After few months of strict vegan diet I found out that it was affecting my body and I could no longer keep away from the occassional meat whenever I came across. However, it was also true that regular grains, cereals, vegetables, fish & dairy with occassional red-meat had made me feel uneasy in the stomach before I had tried the vegan diet. I dont know the perfect answer but my idea and feeling is that the vegan diet is suitable for people with type A blood types but not for all types of type A blood type. I think no one has looked into the aapect that a person with type A or type B blood can still have an O allele inside the blood. Like in my case, I inherited the O allele from my father and the A allele from my mother. Therefore even though my blood type is of Type A , categorised according to blood transfusion behaviours I still have blood allele O inside me making me kind of AO sub-type among the type A blood grouping. My guess is that I could not keep off red-meat completely due to the presence of the O allele in my blood. Other related observations that aligns with Dr. Adamo's blood type diet idea are that most North Indians have milk based products and/or dairy products in their diet, and unlike most other places on earth they like to consume hot milk traditionally. It was a real surprise for me when I found out that most of North Indians have blood type B. Even in my household my mother being AB and my father being of blood type B (but with both B & O allele inside him) had a liking for milk based & dairy products, but that never suited me even with the full force of culture & tradition. Same goes for many Stan countries (Pakistan, Afghanistan etc.) and Bangladesh and probably the South East Asian countries too. In contrast South India which has majority O blood type people have a strong non-hot-milk and non-dairy culinary culture and except for the South Indian Brahmins (who is believed to have had migrated from North India) most of the rest have strong meat based dietary culture. More astonishingly the world can roughly be divided into broad contiguous regions by blood types with Americas being mostly O and A type, Europe being mostly A snd O, North Africa mostly O and A , sub-saharan Africa mostly O and B, South Asia & South East Asia & central Asia mostly B and O, East Asia mostly A & B (Japan) or O and B (China, Korea). And each of these broader regions have roughly similar culinary tradition. I guess it goes far beyond culinary preferences, it can well be a human behaviour affecting feature that can be segregating the world into broad regions with small exceptions, though that could also be a result of the base culinary tradition.
I've taken on an arthritis that is inflammatory in nature. Spent a couple of years doing all I could to leave meat/dairy behind. And tried to lower grains, but kept with oatmeal (bad idea) and some white rice. LOTS of cooked greens/veggies/garlic/onions/etc etc all organic. BUT, my inflammation did not improve (dramatically) until I got back to some meat protein. My gut healed more (not perfect, MUCH improved), and I can close my fists and have gained strength in hands/fingers etc. BTW I have never sought to lose weight, in fact after all those calorie free veggies, I really NEED to consume these higher caloric density food types - basically meat. I am going to try to keep my distance from dairy. TIP for people: Take your Vit D, and IF you get COVID S T O P your coffee/caffeine intake. IT puts the cytokine storm front and center. Keep your experience safe/low boil - get well!! (by STOPPING any caffeine intake - look it up: arginine (and Lysine) and Covid. If you can, try leaning Lysine, and quit coffee now.
I am blood type A and switched to almost 100% of the food types in the Eat 4 Blood type app (and book). I am 5’8” and weighed 150 pounds. I was advised to go on this diet by a pharmacist. I was suffering from Acid reflux/GERD. I started the diet and almost immediately started loosing weight. It just fell off. My old pants and belts started fitting again. After 7 months of this diet I seemed to have stabilized at 133 pounds. I am small framed, male. I have always exercised and thought I was eating well. I have to also mention that I was taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar diluted in 12 ounces of water every day based on some other health videos stating that it would help with my acid reflux. Problem is that for blood type A, I am not allowed to have ANY type of vinegar. Question: Does anyone know why? ACV seems to have a lot of health benefits, so why can’t I have it?
Hmmm that’s interesting - I just got my bloodwork back and met with my nutritionist. I’m A- and she was saying that taking two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in water before eating foods like red meat help with digestion because apparently A blood types have much less stomach acid so the apple cider vinegar helps digesting foods like that…I don’t really know why vinegar is not recommended for A types, but maybe apple cider vinegar is the exception vs plain old vinegar? I know apple cider vinegar contains an enzyme that contains a lot of vitamins and minerals and probiotics that white vinegar doesn’t contain so I guess I’d just keep taking that and not white vinegar, but I’m not an accredited nutritionist or anything this is just based off of my own research and what my nutritionist told me…
Apple cider vinegar is avoid for us A's, so the lectins in apple cider vinegar must react adversely with out blood, hence adversely with our whole body.
I am blood type A and do horribly with any type of vinegar . There’s something to it , I believe maybe we have an intolerance to alcohol. Since fermented liquids have traces of alcohol
I’m blood type O and am a life long vegetarian. I’ve NEVER had meat. I feel great and am in excellent health. I am very active. I think it’s about you understanding your own body and knowing how foods make you feel/ function. Listen to your body.
I am type O+ and was told by doctors who didn’t know to eat lots of yogurt and peanuts for protein, as well as to limit my red meat intake. Everyday I drank a natural yogurt fruit smoothie and had diarrhea. Later on I was on a vegan diet to try it out for almost 2 weeks and felt so sick and fatigued. After eating a 4 oz steak I felt much better. Now that I’ve started my bloodtype diet though I feel as great as ever! I love cheese, milk, potatoes, cucumbers, coffee, popcorn, avocados, and breads but unfortunately these are huge triggers for my bloodtype and before starting this diet I even felt it when eating those things.
Poor you. I think I am a lucky one 0 blood type. Out of the long list of recommended, forbidden and ok food to eat- maybe 2% does not fit my personal likes and dislikes... I felt tired and went to a nutritionist, they tested blood in hopital to find out whether some diseases might take part in me feeling crappy or metabolic disorders etc, nutrients etc, they combined the results with blood type diet and they told me to eat what I naturally like and avoid what I dislike... Lucky me... Well, I am not a person who is interested in food, so I never ate much of a variety of foods, but still...
@@caroline4323 there are differences to tupe O blood. Most are secretors which means something like your blood type is also detectable in your saliva, trars, etc. Some people don’t have that are are called non-secretors. The non-secretors can eat certain things no6 on the normal list. Google it or look here on YT.
As an A type, I understand the diet not to be vegan or veggie, but a lack of red meat and protein derived from plant including beans & pulses, chicken & fish. Whenever I've followed this diet, my digestive system is happier. Tried keto recently and did not work well for my guts - ended up constipated and lethargic.
Um...if you actually follow the books they are not strictly vegan vs. Carnivore....so this is already skewed. The type O blood actually has a ton of vegetables. This is an innacurrent study of the true blood type diet. Get informed because everyone I'm around doing their actual blood type eating is doing great.
I agree. I am reading the book right now and I wouldn’t say that Dr. D’Adamo would say those with blood type O should not eat vegetables and eat spam. That’s a misinterpretation. I also don’t think weight loss is the primary goal of eating according to blood type..
Im blood type A+ and about 1 and a half year ago I went whole foods plant based no oil. I not only just dropped the excess weight but my bowel problems disappeared (daily diarrhea), aches and pains every morning also gone (could only sleep about 6 hours and would have to get up and move around because of pain), headaches that I would get 1-2 times per week vanished. I have been off the vegan diet for a year and feel horrible. I just switched back to vegan diet just because I feel young and full of energy but mainly NO ACHES AND PAIN when I eat this way.😃
I am blood type O and I never feel well unless I include meat, eggs and fish in my diet. I have been the same weight for the last 30 years - 9 stone - and am perfectly happy with that. I have not been to the doctors in years and have low blood pressure and a high ‘good’ cholesterol level. Meat, fish and eggs are very good for me and I will never give them up.
SO glad my annual report is color-coded as well as showing the actual numbers. I understand the colors better! MAINLY learned that all the veggies I’m eating is what did it.
@Nelson Tragura I’m beginning to believe that we each have different dietary needs to meet; if we discover what ours are and see to it that we meet them we’re better off. I’m still working on mine, it’s just that I’m much better now that I’m eating less meat and more vegetables. I gather you’ve found yours and get what you need. I don’t express myself very well, I’m sorry if I offended anyone. 🥰
I’m type O. I’ve tried going vegan a handful of times for varied time lengths and while at first I’d feel better…soon enough I always start feeling very sickly and weak. That could be because I’m not eating “nutritionally complete” enough on a vegan diet but it just feels way too unsustainable and difficult. Plus I am naturally very thin with a high metabolism so my goal is not weight loss, simply health and wellness. Whenever I end up reintroducing grass fed beef or free range chicken I feel like I perk right back up. However dairy is something my body simply does not tolerate or digest well (just like the O type diet suggests)…so idk I really do think there’s some truth to this hypothesis. Maybe not for EVERYONE but it seems like something that might work for me.
I am exactly the same. O type and I have cravings for lamb and venison and red meat. I like greens too especialy spinach and such and I am not great with wheat and carbs or sugar. I am thin and get sick without high protein diet. But mishrooms and high protein veggies helped me to crave less meat. I still have high cholesterol and my dad died of heart disease despite being a type 0. But I can't lose more weight. It is truly hard to gain.
Interesting I was thinking about that when I saw longterm raw vegan influencers with blood type O and they tried carnivore diet in their past and it didn't work.
I am blood type O also. I can’t handle dairy at all. Everyone in my family had blood type O and everyone is lactose intolerant. There may be some truth to O not being able to handle dairy.
I’m A - I was vegan for years feeling unwell with bad arthritis and weight gain. grains just bloat me up and make me feel awful. I tried keto which didn’t help at all as it made me feel the same. I followed the type A diet and became vegetarian and I’m starting to feel healthier and losing weight with lots of energy. I’m pleased it helped but was secretly hoping it didn’t work and wanted to prove the blood type diet wrong but it proved me wrong. I prefer vegan but it just doesn’t work for me 😢
Thank you, Dr. Barnard. I am type O and do not like the idea of eating meat but have struggled with issues around sugar and not getting enough protein so wondered if I needed to be more of a meat-eater. I am a contributor to the Physicians Committee regularly.
Same here i gained weight a lot when i became vegetarian. I have blood type O and been eating vegetarian or sometimes vegan for almost 10’years at but now with age i am putting on weight and its hard to lose weight.
Based on the comments I'm reading who counter-argue Dr. Bernard's points, and having paid attention to my own diet, I'll stick with Eat Right 4 Your Type's advice.
Sorry, you mentioning New York and ‘progressive’ was enough for me to realise that I shall NOT be relying on a plant based diet. Perhaps that’s the reason why there are so many mentally unwell people in that state? Sorry, but it has to be said and a study needs to be done to see if there is indeed a correlation between diet and mental health!
I am really hoping you answer this please. I am B+ blood type and I have followed the D’Adamo diet for about 5 years. D’Adamo’s avoid list for me includes a lot of plant based staples like coconuts and coconut oil, pomegranates, tomatoes, corn, avocado, pumpkin, wheat, lentils chickpeas, black beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, buckwheat, sunflower, soy and soy products, the list goes on. So you can see that finding plant based protein is a struggle for me😏. I would really like to know what you think and whether there is any research which covers my situation. My focus is to achieve and maintain good health and never have to be medication dependent. Thanks
appreciate your informative comments Jo Uthman , recently I'm planning to go on a Blood Type Diet, mine is B too and I'm ver curious about your result/experiment over the 5 years, how did you find it? does it worth it?
I like his conclusion at 9:40. "When you switch them to a vegan, it does not matter which blood type they have, they all do well.So there you have it, Chuck".
Haha! Some study man. So just because their bad cholesterol went down and they lost weight that's all we need to look at and now we know for sure that they should be vegan. 🤡 I have all the blood types in my family my wife is AB, I am O, my two sons are A and my daughter is type B. We all eat according to our type and it has made a huge impact on our health for the better. I have tried the vegan diet before for about 2 months and I literally felt like I was dying. I distinctly remember the day that I decided to try and have some organic grass fed beef just to see if it would make a difference. It made me feel like a new man! I've never felt so good in my life! I'm curious what blood type you are sir? If you happen to be anything other than O that explains a lot. Just because you thrive on certain foods doesn't mean everyone will thrive on them. I can eat a grass fed beef and feel great and if my wife were to eat just a small amount of that same beef she would feel terrible with a rock hard belly and struggle to digest it for the next 12 hours.
i swear this clown speaks with such confidence having only done such a shallow ass study. its weird cuz he really thinks people are so stupid to fall for this bullshit study. heres my suggestion for the best diet: eat air. no cholesterol, no weight gain and u will loose weight until u die. what a clown
Great info. I agree with Dr. B! I am type O and I thrive on a vegetarian diet. When I eat meat, it usually fish but prefer eggs and beans as my major protein source. Thanks for the info.👍🏽
Been eating a meat based diet for years and my cholesterol has been good imo but also I think I may have iron deficiency. For eating so much meat and eggs my total cholesterol is 157mg/dL Triglycerides 65 mg/dL
A meat based diet is too restrictive. You will have some deficits...just like a plants based diet. Those two diets are too hard to keep without suplements.
I'm type o and I eating everything for years, I really wish people would stop listening to people who don't know what they're talking about listen to your body only period and you will not go wrong,😊
We need to realize that people will always come up with creative ways to make money. If someone can sell books and videos and whatever else because "people want to hear good news about their bad habits", those people will create a great marketing strategy to sell their ideas. It doesn't matter if the idea is based in science or purely based on monetary gain. The science clearly shows eating processed foods (including meat, dairy, and other animal products) is harmful to health. Money and popularity make people greedy, which makes them spread a message that benefits themselves, not the general population. Keep up the great work PCRM!
Yeah. Like you have read the book they were criticizing. Maybe make one and I'll read yours. They didn't even include citations or links from their research. That's why they call it peer-reviewed because you're not part of their intelligentsia.
I have followed Dr D'Adamo for 18 years and am healthier than I had been since 4 years old. Now I drink a veggie fruit smoothie each morning. Ii am type B+, I dont eat chicken, pork, tomatoes, corn, peanuts, or soy. Check out Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type book Dr. Peter D'Adamo.
Nah. The medical establishment purposely avoids serious study of ideas that come from complementary and alternative medicine practitioners so that they can label them and their theories as garbage.
Hallo iam group 0 negative ohad a problen with acidity and ithought meat was giving me problem at least for 2 years ilost alot of weight and coulnt gain until ireturned to eat meat
Hallo iam group 0 negative ohad a problen with acidity and ithought meat was giving me problem at least for 2 years ilost alot of weight and coulnt gain until ireturned to eat meat
Eat right 4 your type is not about losing weight that's how I see it. it's about eating it right for our blood type and the right food to eat for health wise.
i am type a i did ok on a vegan diet i did a little better on a vegetarian diet i didn’t so well on a keto diet i did my best on an animal based diet but gained tons of weight and didn’t like that i feel miserable mixing carbs with proteins... digestive issues after treatment for cancer. with vegan and vegetarian diets i felt always weak and cold but i lost weight for sure. so it all depends on what we ate before and how we feel after changing our diet. thank you for sharing. i may need to go back to plant based for a season kkkk
This is largely false. We NEED the good fats in meats as well as collagen, amino acids, vitamin A, Vitamin B, Omega 3's and saturated good fats, and more. These are very hard to supplement in a plant based only diet, if at all. The problem with weight isnt meat, or colesterol, its cortisol with refined grains and sugars that are the problem, and the three meal a day myth. The Vegan diet is not nearly as healthy as Keto, OMAD and Intermittent Fasting. I am also A- RH negative and I CRAVE meat, healthy fats and will consume vegetables but I dont like them. Yet you dont even regard are address RH Negative. RH- are also resistant to heart disease and covid, and more resistant to disease in general than any blood type. I have never once had the flu.
I agree with you and he does not address RH negative blood.. I am O negative and I need the protein. He is definitely wrong.. Similar to putting your cat on vegetables… Many Vegans eat too many carbs and can be fat..
Still not fully convinced. I love dr Barnard but I still think there MIGHT be something to it. Just because they lost weight doesn't mean long term health. There are too many vegans who because of health go to carnivore etc. I have struggled for over 20 years with trying to ignore my A blood type lists (no potatoes tomatoes sweet potatoes eggplant bananas red pepper etc) but I do think there's something to it. My husband is type O and does not do well physically on only plant based but me type A does. And the people I know who are type O almost without exception seem to have better immune systems, live longer and eat terribly😑
My sister is O, and she's got ENDLESS amounts of energy. I would be *DEAD* if I lived her life - alone the alcohol, pain pills and lack of sleep would have done me in LONG TIME AGO!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm bloodtype 0, and been vegetarian for 13 years 😊 Never been better 😊 I also react on meat, giving terrible stomach ache. As a vegetarian I have better concentration and been a blood donor 😊
@@hege4318 So wonderful that you don't eat meat 🥰🙏💙 you were way ahead of your time! Hats off to you 🙇♀️ May I ask, what animal products do you consume? 😊✌❄
@@adorable3817 thank you 😊 I do eat some cheese and eggs, but not a every day thing. I get mild stomach ache if I consume too much milk products. I guess maybe 2 eggs and some slices of cheese a week 😊 (use almond and soy milk and vegan butter)
@@hege4318 fascinating 🤓 OK, maybe I should ask, why did you stop eating meat? What was the #1 reason? For health or the animal? Another question 😁 consuming too much dairy causes a stomach ache. Do you consider dairy necessary? I mean, do you eat it for health or fir taste? I get that with bread. Too much I get a stomach ache. Meanwhile, even a little causes problems. Now I just stopped eating it, and feel so much better. It's totally unfair 😭 I LOVE bread, and cake. My husband can eat it, zero issues. Some people are lucky that way 😁
I am AB+. I am also a licensed massage therapist. I find if I do not eat meat while I am working, that I get very weak and get the shakes. So, while you think people don't need meat, my body says you are incorrect. Animal proteins are typically easier for the human body to digest, which is why our teeth are designed to be omnivoric not vegan.
This is an over-simplification of the blood type diet theory. READ THE BOOK!! Of course, a plant-based diet is good for everyone, but the philosophy is not about whether meat is good or bad, but rather what are the MOST BENEFICIAL foods for your blood type. There are certain fruits and veggies that can do more harm than good according to your blood type. Since I've been eating for my type O (mainly proteins and dark leafy greens), I have seen a dramatic improvement in my health and wellness. Listen to your body, hire a nutritionist (not a pill and surgery pusher), and use common sense if you have any.
You can eat meat if you eliminate sugar and starch rich vegetarian options, vegetable oils, processed foods. A balance of fiber and low carbohydrates is the key to eating meat healthfully. This type of diet lowers your risk of diabetes developing which in turn lowers your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Lifestyle is the major factor that is not included in nutritional studies.
I’m a type o blood, I was on a vegetarian diet for about 8 months, it was great for resetting my health, but I lost a lot of muscle mass on a vegetarian diet. It was not sustainable for me as a type O !! Sorry but 200 people in a study is a pretty weak study!
What Dr's analysis sounds like common sense. I was 140kg in Jan 2021then by August 2022, I weighed in 83Kg on Plant based lifestyle, though I eat wild salmon & chicken only a few days per week. I'm an '0' positive. My BMI went down from 60 to 30. I feel quite amazing!
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absense. Just because you put random Type O people on a strictly controlled diet does not mean that their other diet was "Bad for them". Not surprising that a "Pro-Vegan" doctor is trying to pick information in a study to "Prove that vegan diet is the healthiest diet". Comparing Spam to (most likely) organic whole foods is dishonest.
Losing weight and lowering cholesterol are not the only indications of "doing well". My cholesterol has never been high. I was weakened by a vegan diet. I lost weight yes, but also strength and vitality. I was more susceptible to injury and my hair started thinning around the hairline. I am Type O. Once I added meat back to my diet, those issues cleared up (not Spam by the way, but clean, UNPROCESSED meat). Long story short, some people do not thrive on a vegan diet and do need some animal products to do well. Veganism is simply not for everyone.
@@vesnabjelanovic6595 That is possible. I am sure I consumed enough, but it most likely wasn't being absorbed. Not everyone can absorb the protein from beans, nuts and seeds.
Well said. Great Point. I can do plant based all day. But I am always hungry and weak. When I gave meat even if every other day does my body good and not hungry. Protein levels is up and cholesterol is wonderful. When I just do plant based. Blood sugar is low I digress
Yesterday a lady, who claimed to be a health coach of some kind, said that eating by blood type was the future, I told her that animals were not food and that veganism is the future. I almost sent her this vid but I will hold off knowing I will share it in the future, Thanks :)
Always glad for scientific research, but the focus of this study seems a little narrow in that it only considered two factors- cholesterol and weight loss. There must be other measures.
Exactly, these youtube doctors think only weight loss matters, "vegan diet made people lose weight therefore good", when losing weight is just about eating less calories than you need. The ABO diet is about not feeling sick and bloated all the time, skin problems, and overall health.
I'm really curious of why no avocados? Sure it's a little high in fat but you can just eat a smaller amount right? But it's jam-packed with so many good nutrients. Where can I find a solid scientific explanation behind the diet
I'm O negative. I can't go more than 3 days without meat (beef) or I feel I really need it. I feel better. I do have to watch my triglycerides, I can tell when I get these warty like things on my eyelids that I'm eating too much meat. Not good . My blood pressure is normal, used to be low for a long time. But lately my test said I'm low on Vit D, funny, never had a cavity my whole life till now..in my 50s. My daughter is A, she likes veges, craves them, but her weakness is bread. Mine is coffee. I agree plant base is better.
There is nothing wrong with bread. There are bad breads, but bread itself is not bad. Pasta is even better since it's only 1 ingredient. The healthiest breads have only 3 or 4 ingredients and should only last for 1 or 2 weeks, unlike most supermarket breads.
@@brothercinnamon2479 There are also many good breads that are not sprouted, like this one. www.healthygermanbread.com/shop/wholerye. There are also good sourdough breads that you can buy from a good bakery or make yourself
@@dj-fe4ck Pasta is not one ingredient. It has flour, water, salt, eggs. Some of these ingredients in pasta are allergens and not everyone responds well to them.
Moms type O+ and has heart disease and all it’s issues that come with that, even as we speak..I’m type A+ had Covid twice with zero respiratory issues ..buuut I’m not here to challenge those points, I’m here to hear about eating my blood type , just wanted to mention it because of the odds
What about inflammation markers? Weight loss and Cholesterol levels are only 2 factors and a tiny fraction of the larger picture shaping human health. As an A+ I have thrived on a plant based diet, but I've heard of many, many people who have struggled on it.
Yes , also the book covers lectins and blood type and wheat, potato slowing o's digestion the eat right for your type doesn't just address weight loss.
It’s not about losing weight.. it’s about many different categories. Type o basically can eat anything, I don’t ever remember him saying vegan would be bad for them. Type A has low acidity which makes it very hard to break down animal proteins, especially red meats (creates inflammation in the body) This was a very bad study
A blood type diet shouldn’t be about the weight, it’s about the bloodstream. The way the food is reacting to your body mentally and physically, on every level. How was the change of sleep? How was the way they process their day from morning to night? Did they have more energy or less energy? How was there mood? When we say blood diet different type of food reacts different to our bodies, to the way, the food is transferred into energy. A blood diet isn’t to lose weight it has a bigger meaning and affect. I’m pretty sure anyone who has done a blood diet understands it’s more about health.
I'm blood type 0 and always had stomache problems, pain and bloating since i was a child... At home we were mostly eating grains, wheat, dairy. I always got tired very quick and couldn't focus at school. I'm 35 today and asking myself if poor food choices could have been a reason of my not so great health ...
I was strict vegan for 9 months. Blood type 0+. I was eating lots of carbs besides the veggies. I was in constant pain, brain fog, kept gaining weight. Then one day my body was craving meat so bad I passed by a Publix and got me some chicken. Bam! Instantly my body was like a like switch came on. I couldn't believe it. Now I eat meat whenever my body tells me to.
Yeh. Same here. I can´t go without meat. I feel tired. Also a lot of other foods that are "forbidden" for 0 blood type make me sluggish and tired. But eating meat+some veggies and I feel good and full of energy. I even don´t like fruits. Any vegetable wins over fruits...
Losing weight and cholesterol levels are not the sole indicators of good health. Type 0's tend to tolerate higher cholesterol levels with no impact on their overall wellbeing. I have a background in nutrition and decades of study in diet variations. My experience is that Type 0's thrive on a diet with lean, healthy meats (preferably grass-fed), about 2-4 times per week. Prepared meats are, of course, a no-no. These same people often become less robust on a vegan or vegetarian diet over time.
@@xoxoxo8594 I can't know your specific issues without much more information. In general we don't tolerate carbs as well as the other blood types. Eating a clean diet with lots of whole foods is always the first place to start. Have you tried intermittent fasting?
@@kayecastleman6353 are there scientifically backed studies on blood type diet like there are on genes that measure factors like inflammation, glucose and insuline resistance levels?
@@kristiyankrumov1515 I doubt it. My information is anecdotal, often from clinical situations with clients, some personal experience, and a lot from fellow alternative practitioners who had similar outcomes. Unfortunately, the multi-$$$ are not there to fund the studies you're looking for, so we remain on the fringe for the time being. Wish I could offer you more definitive evidence, but I am simply sharing tidbits from my decades in the field.
What do you mean less robust ? I am O- I have been a vegan/vegetarian for 6 years and I’ve recently decided to start eating lean red meat. So I started researching blood type diet
I lost a lot at 1st also but after time, you lose muscle mass and energy... iron etc... I was vegan 2 years... now trying Blood type diet I feel better than ever and I gmhave the energy to work out. It goes deeper than this, it has ro do with lectins for a's and the acid in o's. O's stomach is made to break down red meat and speed up their metabolism.
I'm O- and also vegan. Fell off to vegetarian for several months and recently went back to plant based..Why is it I have both high ldl and hdl?..is it because of my plant based diet? Or does eating dairy really increase your bad cholesterol that high and quickly...sigh
244 subjects isn't a large study. Very scary/disheartening to hear a doctor say that. Thanks for all the information though. I still appreciated the perspective
I think you should have addressed HDL cholesterol with the cholesterol question. My HDL levels are pretty low too, and they should be a little bit higher. My doctor states that the use of chia seeds and avocados will not help it, and that only exercise will help my HDL levels rise.
Guys i need help cause am anaemic blood type B+ and for 7 years i have struggled to gain weight but to no avail . I'm 17 but i look like a 12 year old . Noticing this makes me feel depressed and made me have low self-esteem. What can i do to rapidly grow within least 3 months
Interesting. However my experience is as a a- I have no cardiovascular problems and my cholesterol up till 45 had been under 90 total. It was always very hard to get it to a 100. Then after menopause it went the opposite direction in all measures. Yes I do eat vegetarian for the love of hyperlipidemia. Hormones seem to have a greater impact in this regard.
His logic is: blood-type diet is bogus because everyone lost weight on the vegan diet (assuming that losing weight is Always a good thing, which it is not. I’m 98lbs and can’t afford to lose anymore weight. He’s also assuming that cholesterol levels falling is a good thing. Cholesterol is a necessary component of cells, and it absolutely is a small percentage of bloodclots, which form because people aren’t producing a particular enzyme that is supposed to break down bloodclots…and that’s not due at all to cholesterol but usually to damage to the body by sugar, artificial hormones, and stress.
