The blood group nutrition method was developed by the American doctor Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the efficiency of its use by the organism is directly related to the genetic characteristics of a person. Namely, with its blood type. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive system, a person needs to eat foods that correspond to the blood type, in other words, those that his ancestors ate in ancient times. Eliminating substances incompatible with the blood from the diet reduces waste in the body, improves the functioning of internal organs and promotes weight loss. Consuming the same "foreign" products leads to relaxation of the body and rapid growth of body fat.
The theory of nutrition by blood group has caused heated discussions among doctors, which have not subsided until now. Based on D'Adamo's technique, various diets by blood group have been developed, which have recently become very fashionable. How should people with different blood groups eat, according to D'Adamo?
Food according to the first blood group
People who have 1 blood type (0) and are called "hunters" should rely on animal protein, and should refuse bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood group 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with the first blood type are meat eaters with a persistent digestive tract, an overactive immune system, and poor adaptation to new diets. The digestive tract of "hunters" has not yet adapted to dairy products and grains.
Particularly useful products
Lean meats (lamb, beef), salmon, cod, pike, olive oil, nuts, pumpkin seeds, beets, figs.
Foods that need to be limited
Dairy products, cheeses, ricotta, fatty meats, especially pork, pasta and other starchy products, potatoes, strawberries, mandarins, oranges, melons, avocados, corn and peanut butter, olives.

Wheat, corn, beans, beans, cabbage, cauliflower.
Slimming foods
Red meats, liver, seafood.
Feeding according to the second blood group
Representatives of the 2nd blood group (A) - "farmers" - vegetarian food is recommended.
The emergence of blood group 2 (A) is associated with the transition of people to agriculture. The owners of the second blood group are vegetarians with a sensitive digestive system. They need natural, environmentally friendly food. People with the second blood type must exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of "hunters" meat is burned as fuel, then in the "peasants" it turns into fat. They also badly assimilate dairy products. But "farmers" can eat a variety of low-fat natural products, vegetables and grains.
Particularly useful products
Seafood in moderation, soy, beans, beans, buckwheat, rice, artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapple.

Foods for gaining weight
Meat, dairy, beans, wheat.
Slimming foods
Vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables, pineapple.
Feeding according to the third blood group
Blood type 3 (B) appeared when human tribes began migrating north to an area with a harsh climate. Therefore, the owners of the third blood group D'Adamo call "nomads". They have a powerful immune system and can choose food more freely than people with 1 and 2 blood types. The "nomads" are the main consumers of milk. A harmonious combination of physical and mental activity will help them keep fit and in a good mood.
Soy, chicken, sunflower oil, tomatoes and pomegranates are contraindicated in people with the third blood group; All dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat and flaxseed oil are useful.

Red meats, liver, liver, low-fat dairy products, green vegetables, eggs.
Feeding according to the fourth blood group
Blood group 4 (AB) appeared less than a thousand years ago as a result of a mixture of other groups. Hence the name: "new people". People with the fourth blood group respond quickly to changes in the environment and nutrition. They have a sensitive digestive system and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to keep fit is to combine intellectual work with light physical activity.
The basis of nutrition for owners of the fourth blood group should be fat-free sour milk, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The set of extra pounds is affected by mixed inheritance. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups need to limit the consumption of meat, combine it with vegetables. The legacy of ancestors B is a negative insulin reaction to beans, corn, buckwheat and sesame seeds. But thanks to their ancestors, their body accepts lentils and peanuts well. Unlike both, AB people respond well to wheat.
Particularly useful products
Lamb, turkey, cod, mackerel, dairy, corn oil, oatmeal, wholemeal bread, cabbage, cranberries, pineapple.
Foods that need to be limited
Beef, bacon, duck, flounder, crab, salmon, whole milk, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, beans, buckwheat, radish, avocado, bananas, pomegranates.

A small conclusion
Above are the foods that are diet specific for each blood group. However, each of us has its own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food products, choosing a diet by blood group, it is necessary to take into account not only general recommendations, but also your own individuality, first of all - the origin and blood group of ancestors.
Doctors have not yet reached a consensus on how effective blood group nutrition is, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be at least valid. For people suffering from chronic diseases, nutrition by blood group should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
