Blood-Type For raw meat
« on: January 08, 2013, 08:35:25 am »
My mom is interested in the whole raw meat idea. But she fears that she will have problems, because her 'blood-type doesnt do well with meat'. So she has been told. But she cant remember her blood type, just what she was taught to avoid. Is there any truth to this claim?

As far as I know blood type does not matter in any way.

Is she referring to the blood type diet? I read about it years ago, and there is a lot of criticism about it out there. I think it was even altered because of it.

I disagree with the blood type diet.

I have Type A blood.

According to http://www.dadamo.com/bloodtype_A.htm I'd thrive on a vegetarian diet. "Type As flourish on a vegetarian diet."

I do very well with raw meats, no indigestion, no problems. Honestly I don't think ANYONE would truly do well on a vegetarian diet.

He also suggests things like dairy for type B's.

I think a raw paleo diet is good for everyone, regardless of blood type. But it's important to pay attention to which foods are working for you. Some people need less carbs, some more. Some need less fat, some need more.

But I don't think the blood type diet makes sense.

I'm sure we've all been there. I remember I bought the blood type diet. It sounded convincing enough lol.

What's logical to me is that ALL humans need a similar diet. Just like all cows eat grass and thrive on it. You won't find some cows that do well on grass and others that do well on GMO corn and GMO soy. Which is my reason for thinking the blood type diet is wrong.

That is a good argument. The blood type diet did not make sense to me then either.

I am O negative, so it would even have meant lots of meat for me if I remember correctly.
