Have you tried to lose weight but failed to lose any significant amount, or lost weight just to put it back on? If so, you belong to the vast majority of dieters. Many times, the fault is not your own. You were simply given an incorrect assumption to begin with. If the diet plan you follow is based on faulty information, logic would dictate that you will not achieve the results you are looking for.
One dietary approach with more than 40 years of research and scientific backing has to do with first identifying your blood type. All human beings are 1 of 4 ABO blood types – A, B, AB and O. Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo believes that once you know your specific blood type, you can cater what you eat to most effectively reach and maintain a healthy body weight, and achieve overall health and wellness.
Where the Eating Right for Your Blood Type Idea Began
When D’Adamo was a child he looked up to his father. The senior D’Adamo was a naturopath that was intrigued by the fact that most traditional diet plans didn’t work. He sought out a natural answer that could work for everyone, not just some. By the time the young D’Adamo was attending college, his father had spent a couple of decades tracing the links between nutrition, health, fitness and blood type.
At first skeptical, Peter D’Adamo came around to his father’s way of thinking once he saw the supporting scientific research. He continued where his father left off, eventually publishing the bestselling book Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution To Staying Healthy, Living Longer and Achieving Your Ideal Weight in 1996.
He has since launched Dadamo.com, the official website of the blood type diet. On that website you can find helpful information regarding each blood type, the foods you should be eating, delicious recipes and other helpful resources. The Eat Right for Your Type books have been published in 65 languages, and have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.
The idea of eating for your blood type has to do with the evolution of man. Blood type O is the oldest, and type AB the most recent in human history. Humans born with type AB will then logically, according to Dr. D’Adamo, be more inclined to eating foods very different from those with the more ancient type O blood.
The same is also true for types A and B. Millions have found this innovative approach to nutrition successful for weight loss and overall health when other diet plans have failed.
