Losing weight without weighing each serving and counting calories daily is easy! A blood group diet will help you in this case. Just make a menu of recommended products and lose weight easily and delicious!
What is a blood group weight loss diet? As the name suggests, the style and eating habits depend on the blood type you have. This concept was developed by the American Peter D'Adamo, based on the fact that new types of blood have appeared at different times in human development. At the time of their occurrence, people were eating certain foods that should be eaten according to this popular diet.
One of the reasons for the growing popularity is that weight loss according to a menu selected for your blood type does not need to be accompanied by gram and calorie counting. The essence of the diet is close to the principles of a good balanced diet: no matter how much you eat, the main thing is what.
Diet for owners of the first blood type
The first group is designated as "I", or "O", it is this group which had our oldest representatives, which had the glory of the hunters. At present, a third of the world's population can boast of a blood connection with ancestors based on "O" blood. During the period of blood group determination, the presence of an antigen called Rh factor is also checked. Otherwise, you have 1 negative blood group. It doesn't really affect food digestibility, so whether you have 1 negative or 1 positive, the menus and nutritional advice are basically the same.
People in group "O" have strong digestive and immune systems, but the metabolic rate is reduced.
To prevent food from stagnating in the stomach and settling where it shouldn't, follow these guidelines:
- eat red meat and liver every day like a real hunter;
- Forget about wheat products, beans, lentils and corn - they will completely stop your digestion;
- cross out recipes with oat products and all types of cabbage, not including broccoli - they have a bad effect on the thyroid gland and slow down metabolism;
- loves seafood and seaweed, replace regular salt with iodized salt, eat vegetables and herbs, preferably green (spinach, broccoli, lettuce) - you need more iodine.
When preparing a salad, season it with olive oil, the rest of the fat will be less digestible. To replenish the body in microelements, eat 2 to 5 nuts, prunes with figs will be appreciated in large. If you want to buy bread, find a low gluten sprouted bread. Eat dairy products with a minimum percentage of fat, or even completely fat-free.
Most people on a Type 1 diet consider themselves lucky, judging by the reviews. A maximum of meat and fish ingredients will not leave you hungry, and herbs and grains will complement the diet.
Vegetarian blood group diet
When people started to cultivate the land, a sedentary lifestyle and an expanded diet led to the emergence of type "A", which also looked like group II. People with 2 positive and negative blood groups have low acidity of gastric juices and delicate mucous membranes, which places certain restrictions on food.
The diet used to lose weight with blood type 2 is fundamentally different from the diet for type “O”. Meat inhibits digestion and leaves a feeling of lasting heaviness, while vegetables and fruits are digested, energizing. Eggs and soy foods are good for getting the protein you need. Studying the diet suitable for the second blood group, it was noticed that its description is similar to the vegetarian guide. This is close to the truth, because the menu should contain a minimum of ingredients of animal origin. It is allowed to occasionally cook poultry meat: chicken, turkey, best of all chicken.
Regardless of rh, foods loaded with sugar and chocolate should be avoided. Seafood, perch, carp, sardines, cod, mackerel, trout and snails will be beneficial. Red fish, shrimp, caviar and other delicacies are already in the zone of harmful ingredients. Among dairy products, yogurt, kefir, goat's milk, and cheese are acceptable. No cream cheese, dairy drinks, ice cream or butter! For dressing it is advisable to choose olive and linseed oil, they are useful for those who have farmers' blood in their veins.
To avoid damaging the delicate mucous membrane, avoid sauces, pickles, sour fruits. Forget about orange and tomato juice, soda, cola, black tea. The most useful and, according to reviews, also preferred drink will be plain water with lemon juice. It is allowed to drink green tea, black coffee, red wine. From plant products, will not be useful: cabbage (except broccoli), potatoes, tomatoes, greenhouse mushrooms, bananas, oranges, rhubarb, mangoes and tangerines.
The full menu of owners of the 2nd blood group will be as bright and fresh as it gets, as it will be mostly vegetables and herbs, fruits and berries. They will be joined by buckwheat, lentils, beans and asparagus.
Omnivorous group 3
Having mastered agriculture, our ancestors set out to explore the world. While doing research, people ate all available foods, as a result of which a new blood type "B" appeared. The third group now flows through the veins of 20% of humanity. Due to the need to adapt to a constantly updated set of foods, people with this type have virtually no restrictions in their diet.
The nomadic organism does not respond well to gluten produced by wheat. This enzyme interferes with normal digestion and the excess food turns into hated fat. Buckwheat, lentils, corn and peanuts have a detrimental effect on carriers of 3 negative blood.
Group 3 positive people have the same reactions, because regardless of rhesus, these foods reduce the amount of insulin produced, and without it the metabolism slows down.
Those who broke these simple recommendations note rapid fatigue, weight gain and alarming blood sugar in reviews. There are also few prohibitions among drinks: strong alcohol, beer and tomato juice.
So if you have type B blood, feel free to experiment with your menu, even when traveling to new countries. The main thing is to limit sweet and white pastries, everything else will have minimal effect on your strong stomach.
4th rare group
Type AB blood appeared last; the already existing types (A and B), influenced by environmental factors, participated in its formation. The diet of the 4 positive groups contains elements of diets for farmers and nomads, sometimes in the most unexpected combinations. Consider the basic recommendations for mysterious owners of AB blood. By the way, this group is found in only 7% of humanity, and literally one and a half percent of people have 4 negative ones. Rh, as with other types, does not affect the lists of healthy and prohibited foods below.
Some of the characteristics of blood groups A and B overlapped, so you need to look for gaps to expand your diet. For example, the owners of the 3rd group are omnivores, they perceive meat well, but the carriers of the 2nd group suffer from low acidity of gastric enzymes. As a result, people - puzzles with blood type 4 can eat meat, but not red.
Meat can be replaced with seafood, salmon, trout, tuna, mussels, sardines and mackerel are especially useful.
There are no restrictions on dairy products in the Group 4 diet, they are even recommended for daily consumption. Products in this category serve as a support for the thyroid gland, one of the main coordinators of metabolism.
Soybean products and all types of vegetables are also welcome. By getting a lot of fiber, the body willingly eliminates the excess. Fruits are a bit more complicated, you shouldn't buy bananas, oranges, mangoes, persimmons, guavas and coconuts.
Buckwheat, corn, legumes and sesame seeds (sesame) are blacklisted. Wheat products are acceptable only to those who are not struggling with excess weight. If there are comments about your figure, it is better to move on to rye baked goods. Make sure to minimize or even eliminate mushrooms and nuts from your diet. Among the drinks, black tea, coffee, orange juice and sodas are considered harmful for type AB.
The final set is very similar to the Mediterranean menu: seafood, rice, cheese, lots of vegetables and herbs. No matter how difficult the tips for correcting nutrition may seem at first, you can get used to anything. Judging by the reviews, the average time to get used to a new eating style takes one to two weeks.
