#O negative blood type diet food list trial

TEARSĪfter I finished crying, I made my shopping list and moped my way through the grocery store maze.

This diet was already approaching cruel and unusual, and then I read this: Type O’s should also avoid caffeine and alcohol. I’ve documented a more detailed list of type O do’s and don’ts below. Every blood type is also instructed to avoid GMOs. Type O’s are encouraged to eat lean, organic meats and select fruits and vegetables, while avoiding wheat (because … gluten), dairy and added sugars. In the name of science, I forged ahead.Īs luck wouldn’t have it, many of my fears came to fruition. Is there any science behind it? More importantly, what would I be allowed to eat? What wouldn’t I be allowed to eat? I broke into a cold sweat, frightened that all of my faves might be blackballed. I knew nothing about this diet, besides its name. A quick trip to donate blood took care of that.

My ignorance made the first action item for this diet trial very simple: find out my blood type. I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t know my blood type.

After all, who could forget hearing that the key to optimal eating is as simple as knowing your blood type? For what it’s worth, I never heard this diet discussed (seriously, anyway) one time in all my years of schooling or training. I came across this diet many years ago-never followed it (until know, that is), but never forgot about it either.
