I came across Dr Peter D’Adamo’s first publication of the “Eat Right For Your Type” book more than 20 years ago. It really made sense to me and I’ve been following it, to different degrees, ever since. I have decided to write this blog post to help anybody who has been thinking about starting on the Blood Type Diet but is in need of a bit of a helping hand.
The Blood Type Diet is not a ‘one fits all’ kind of approach but is personalised nutrition at its best. It takes into consideration your blood type and what makes each one different than the other. It will help you see why some people thrive on the Atkins Diet or the Keto Diet or on a vegan/vegetarian diet and others struggle or get results that are very short lived.
The blood type diet doesn’t only take into consideration what foods work best but also how stress presents itself and even the best exercise plans to suit. It really helps each individual understand more about how they tick, which I found very important when I started out.
What is Your Blood Type?
If you’re not 100% sure what your blood type is get it tested. We have the best home blood testing kit available on the market, here on our site and it only takes 5 minutes get the results. If your Doctor, Mum or Dad or family member do not have it recorded, get tested.
When you know what blood type you are, find out what foods work best for you. The ‘Eat Right For Your Type’ book (new edition) is available here, which will show you where to start to get the best results.
The blood type diet food and supplement range can help compliment this new way of eating for you. These carefully designed products can help assist you and we are also here to guide you if you have any problems choosing.
Getting Started
• It can be a little overwhelming at first but just take it slowly as you will get better results that way.
• Try and find a friend or family member to join you. Mental preparation is important and having somebody who knows you well can help a lot.
• Gradually eliminate the bad and introduce the good.
• Try not to be too hard on yourself and we are here if you need some guidance.
Introducing the Best Exercise Plan
• Find out what type of exercise works best for your blood type.
• If you’re not exercising yet, start slowly by taking a walk and increase your speed as you go along. A good power walk can be as effective as jogging.
• If you’re an intense exerciser and it’s not recommended for your blood type, it’s ok, just introduce some calming type exercise routines such as yoga or tai chi. This will help you get better results and you should be able to handle stress better. Our Stress Fitness Packs can help with this also.
