Purported foods for different blood types
Kilojoule-counting is considered unnecessary, with claims that as long as you eat the right foods for you, weight loss should come naturally. It also claims if you eat foods that gel with your blood type, you'll shed the extra kilos, prevent disease and feel great. The Blood Type Diet claims these 'interactions' can cause digestive issues, weight gain, fatigue and interfere with the body's immune system. If these are incompatible with your blood group, blood cells may clump together and cause havoc in various parts of the body. Naturopath Peter D'Adamo created the diet in the mid-1990s, claiming many foods have sugar-binding proteins called lectins. The Blood Type Diet is based on the theory that the body interacts with foods differently according to your blood type.
