Blood Type Diet (1, 2, 3, 4): Foods for Each Blood Type

Doctors and nutrition experts are convinced that any advice and recommendation must be adapted to the biochemical characteristics of each person.

Dr. Peter d'Adamo conducted research in the field of anthropology and genetics, which allowed him to conclude that the physical and emotional state of a person depends on blood type.

This means that people with different age groups need to approach exercise and nutrition issues differently.

About dietary restrictions

To fit her biological profile, a person must eat foods that are appropriate for her blood type, as it determines the body's response to various foods. For example, it depends on what types of bacteria will be in the intestines and what types of food will be better digested.

This explains why some people easily tolerate vegetarianism, while others cannot do without meat products.

Proper nutrition for people with the fourth blood group

People with the fourth blood group are a phenomenon, since it appeared as a result of the mixing of the Mongoloids with the Indo-Europeans. The first three blood groups were formed differently: in the course of people's adaptation to changes in their living conditions. Therefore, nutrition for the fourth blood group requires a special approach!

Interestingly, there are only 5-7% of people with the fourth blood group on the entire planet. For comparison, about 40-50% have the first blood group, the second - 30-40%, and the third - 10-20%. These figures may vary a bit in one direction or another in individual countries.

The effect of the Rh factor on weight gain

The 4th blood group diet is characterized by an extensive list of prohibited foods, which makes it one of the toughest. Often people with the fourth blood group have various food allergies, so it is recommended to develop a proper diet with the help of a qualified nutritionist.

It is believed that the most dangerous product that causes a person with the fourth blood group to rapidly gain weight is meat.

At the same time, the Rh factor of the blood group plays an important role in drawing up the correct menu. It turned out that if Rh-positive owners can sometimes enjoy dietary meat, then for those with Rh-negative it is advisable to eat exclusively fruit and vegetable crops.

Scientists have shown that owners of the fourth blood group with a negative factor are more likely to be overweight and acquire a significant amount of body fat faster than their "brothers" with a positive Rh. Therefore, it is very important to take this moment into account if you want to lose weight.

People with the fourth blood group and negative Rh are not recommended to eat the following foods:

1. Meat. Meat products were included in the prohibited list, since the body will not be able to digest them normally due to the low acidity of gastric juice.
2. Buckwheat and wheat porridge. They can cause Rh-negative men and women to gain weight.
3. Corn and legumes. May interfere with insulin production.
4. bananasEating bananas is fraught with discomfort in the stomach and intestines.
5. Coffee and black tea. Of hot drinks, it is best to drink herbal teas based on valerian and hawthorn.

At the same time, owners of a negative Rh factor should include lean fish in their diet, which will prevent them from feeling chronic weakness. It is recommended to periodically add algae salads to the menu, which are able to normalize the metabolism in the body.

And fermented dairy products with a low percentage of fat content will help improve the work of the pancreas.

People with a fourth Rh-positive blood group find it a little easier to shape their diet, as they can have a little bit of everything.

With special precautions, only legumes should be treated. These products can slow down your metabolism, which will quickly lead to weight gain.

You should also be careful with red meat, since the delicate digestive tract that people with the fourth blood group have will not be able to cope with it. It is better to give preference to white poultry meat.

But in order to speed up the metabolism, it is recommended to regularly eat different varieties of hard cheeses. In the choice of vegetables and fruits, strongly acidic and spicy ones should be avoided; Also give preference to fresh, but it is better not to abuse canned and dried.

What is useful for people with the fourth blood group?

The good news is that members of this type are free to shape their diet from the foods on the allowed list. Each of them has a beneficial effect on the body, helping it to cope with the problems faced by the delicate digestive tract of people with the fourth blood group.

The list of healthy foods includes:

• tofu and other soy-based;
• various types of fish;
• low-fat dairy products and sour milk;
• green vegetables and fruits;
• pineapples;
• low-fat hard cheeses;
• olive oil;
• walnuts;
• cereals (oats, millet, millet, yams);
• green tea and herbal infusions.

Tofu and various soy-based products have a positive effect on the body when losing weight, since they are perfectly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and normalize metabolic processes in the body.

Since meat is considered heavy for people with the fourth blood type, they should eat fish and shellfish every week. They are an alternative source to enrich the body with useful amino acids and minerals.

The following types of fish are recommended: trout, tuna, mackerel, salmon, sardines, sturgeon and sea bass. For seafood, focus on caviar and mussels.

It is very important for the owners of the fourth blood group to introduce low-fat dairy products and sour milk into the daily diet. They not only help speed up metabolism, but also improve the secretion of the thyroid gland and regulate the process of pancreatic insulin production.

It is recommended to eat enough fresh vegetables and fruits every day. Pay special attention to a fruit like pineapple, famous for its beneficial effect on the digestive system.

It is desirable that the daily volume of vegetables and fruits is about 400-500 grams. This amount should be divided into five meals so as not to "gag" on all the vegetables and fruits at once.

For children, this hole is calculated based on age. But on average, focus on the number of vegetables or fruits that fit in the palm of a child's hand - this will be one dose. In the day you need to eat three servings of fruit and two vegetables.

A large number of vegetables and fruits in the diet of people with the fourth blood group is due to the fact that they have a weak digestive system. Therefore, they especially need foods rich in fiber that can enhance intestinal motility.

Also, if you plan to lose weight, vegetables and fruits will be useful in your menu. They are low in calories and can fill you up quickly. Fiber is processed by the body for a long time and therefore you will not experience hunger soon.

Holders of the fourth blood group can eat rye bread, rice and almost all kinds of berries. But their number must be small. Of alcoholic beverages, a little dry red wine is allowed.

Menu with neutral products

So that your diet does not seem too scarce, it can be formed based on two lists. The first consists of useful products, and the second consists of neutral products.

The difference between them is that the first ones can be eaten in almost unlimited quantities, they will benefit your health. The latter will not bring any benefit, but there will be no harm from you either. But they should still be consumed in moderation, especially if you are aiming to lose weight.

The list of neutral foods includes:

• chicken eggs;
• salted;
• liver;
• almonds and pine nuts;
• some cereals (barley, semolina and barley);
• Dark chocolate;
• White wine.

To the list of neutrals, you can add some vegetables that are not included in the list of useful. It is permissible to add to all green vegetables in reasonable quantities: tomatoes, potatoes, leeks, olives, asparagus, beets, zucchini and pumpkins. Also, you can eat all varieties of cabbage.

When it comes to losing weight, they are extremely valuable, since they have a very low caloric content. But it is permissible to add nectarines or peaches to the list of fruits. As a snack, several pieces of prunes are acceptable.

If it is reasonable to combine foods from both lists, the diet will look complete and will not cause self-pity.

Forbidden food

• If you have set yourself the goal of losing excess weight, the first thing you should do is review your diet to eliminate foods from the list of prohibited foods.
• They not only do not bring benefits, but even cause discomfort, causing discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract, slowing down metabolic processes in the body.

The list of prohibited foods includes the following:

• Red meat;
• coffee, black tea, soft drinks;
• all kinds of mushrooms;
• a series of exotic fruits (oranges, pomegranates, bananas, mangoes, guava, persimmons);
• Coconut;
• sunflower oil;
• pickles and preservation;
• some herbal infusions (based on linden, senna and coltsfoot);
• Apple vinager;
• hazelnut.

Red meat and products made from it fall under a strict ban. This is especially true for people with a negative Rh factor, who may want to follow a completely vegetarian diet.

If you neglect this requirement and continue to abuse pork and beef, then this can lead to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract system. In addition, red meat provokes the active formation of fat cells.

What else is prohibited?

Products Reasons

All varieties of beans.	It slows down metabolism and can even cause a condition like hypoglycemia (blood glucose levels drop to a critical level).
Of the cereals, buckwheat, wheat or corn should not be eaten.	They interfere with the normal absorption of nutrients and slow down the digestion process. In addition, wheat porridge can lower the level of insulin in the blood.
It is better to refrain from fatty dairy products and sour milk.	Anything with a fat content higher than two percent will be unhealthy. Processed cheeses, hard cheeses of fatty varieties, and cheeses with blue mold are also prohibited. Butter and ice cream are also not recommended.
If we are talking about forbidden fruits, then you can not only eat them fresh, but also have to refuse juices based on them. The same goes for vegetables.	If eating corn is prohibited, this means you can't put all corn-based dishes on your plate: cereal, corn sticks, bread, etc.

Pickles and preservation, vinegar, hot spices, tomato sauces, sauces and other seasonings with a pronounced taste are prohibited for owners of the fourth blood group for the same reason - a weak gastrointestinal tract.

It is recommended to refrain from strong alcoholic beverages, as your stomach may simply not be able to handle them. If you have already decided to drink strong alcohol, then in very small quantities.

Bet on small portions and fractional meals

In order to lose weight, the owners of the fourth blood group do not need to go to extremes and go on a hunger strike. This approach will never work, because it will only "scare" your body and lead to a set of even more kilograms after stopping a strict diet.

To lose weight, just carefully study all the food lists and draw up the diet that is right for you for a week. It should include both plant and animal products. You will simply eat a little of everything, intelligently combining the dishes.

Using any online calculator, calculate what should be the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in your daily menu, and focus on these numbers.

The main emphasis in the diet for owners of the fourth blood group is on portion sizes. They must be small: a maximum of 300 grams of food (drinks are not included in this amount).

You'll need to switch to split meals to eat small portions five to six times a day. The fact is that initially you have a weak gastrointestinal tract. Not only can it not cope with the complete digestion of meat dishes, but even vegetable protein is often beyond its strength. Because of this, the metabolic processes in the body are constantly out of balance.

Nutrition divided into small portions will help improve metabolism and strengthen the digestive tract. Also, if you eat something every two hours, the stomach will never feel hungry and will not even understand that it has moved to a diet.

A comfortable state of the body will allow you to quickly get rid of excess weight.

Try to diversify your menu as much as possible, add healthy and tasty dishes to it. And also combine foods correctly. For example, if you're making a salad, dress it with olive oil, which pairs best with fresh vegetables and herbs.

Losing weight won't work if you don't start participating in some physical activity regularly. But the situation of the owners of the fourth blood group in this matter is somewhat more complicated, since scientists have noted that exhausting workouts are contraindicated for these people.

It is better to give preference to swimming, hiking or yoga. The exercises should be as calm and comfortable as possible for you.

If you manage to harmoniously compose a menu for yourself and choose a suitable training regimen, then in the first week you can lose up to four kilograms of excess weight. In the future, weight loss will not be so significant, but if you do not give up, then every week will bring results - one to two kilograms.

At first glance, it seems that owners of the fourth blood group will find it quite difficult to master their nature and lose weight. But it all depends on your desire and a competent approach to business.

If you spend enough time to create the right schedule for yourself with a diet, and then strictly adhere to it, in a month it will become familiar to you.
