Eat Right for Blood Type A: Individual Food, Drink and Supplement Lists (Eat Right for Your Type)

"While I think your blood type should be considered, I also truly believe there can still be great differences between people with same blood type. i think you have to trust your own instincts about which foods agree with you and which ones don't... For example. A's are told red wine is good, but for me, red wine almost always gives me heartburn/acid reflux. It also says eggs and egg based products like mayonaisse and ranch are good but eggs almost always make me nauseated.

regarding things that ARE supposedly harmful for A's - vinegar, tomatoes, ketchup, etc. i haven't had any problems with those (perhaps you have to see the effects over 70 to 90 years!)

A couple of years ago i suffered chronic heartburn / acid reflux so I did a lot of reading about it, saw a specialist, had an endoscopy and then kept a food diary. these were my own personal results:

avoid: all yogurts! - the number 1 trigger - i just take probiotic pills now.
limit red wine to 1 or 2 glasses (per year!) - my number 2 heartburn trigger.
certain cheeses, particularly low fat cheddar
chocolate
excessive bread and sugar.

i give you this list just to show you that your personal do and don't foods won't necessarily always line up with the blood type diet.

i did get something out of this book. i know to reduce my intake of red meat and pork for example. read the book(s) but don't consider it absolute truth. "

"My wife couldn't understand why she kept having problems after eating some foods - and always the same foods. Her osteopath recommended "Eat Right for your Type" and she's been a lot better.

If you are having similar problems then maybe you could do with:

1/ Finding out what blood type you are
2/ Getting the relevant "Eat Right..." book."

"Fantastic book. It is the most sensible and effective health book I have read. Really changed my life and I recommend the blood type diet to everyone but especially those with health issues regardless of what they are."

"Not being someone obsessed with losing weight, trying this diet was a bit unusual for me. I flicked through a copy at the store and suddenly realised that one (impoverished) year I had basically followed the diet through simple lack of funds and had been incredibly healthy. Following the diet intentionally has changed my health incredibly - I used to suffer cold after cold, which had a massive impact on my career and positivity. Now I sleep better, have more energy, clearer skin and shinier hair, and even lost a few kilos at the same time. I can't recommend this diet/lifestyle highly enough!"
