    I had a wake-up call this morning to start counting calories and working out again. I've gained a shameful amount of weight since my wedding. Anyway, I remembered hearing something about the blood-type diet, or eating certain foods that affect different blood types differently to lose weight and be overall healthier.

    I looked it up this morning out of curiosity and found this - http://184.175.121.50/blood_type_diet/

    apparently my blood type (A) should strive to be a vegetarian while my husband's type (O) is best as a high protien meat-eater. Basically, in order to lose weight and eat best for my blood type, I should avoid meat, dairy, and wheat - a huge part of what my husband and I ever eat.

    Do any of you have any experience or knowlege about this diet? I hardly believe that my body is best off without meat because I get crazy headaches sometimes and crave red meat to fix it. This diet is just so different than anything I've heard before - there are foods on there to avoid for certain blood types that I've always heard are good to eat. Any thoughts?

    My jeweler was on this and lost a ton of weight.  He said he had no idea how reactive his body was to certain types of food.  It really worked well, in his case.

    I looked into it - I'm type A and there's no way I'd be happy on a vegetarian diet or feel I need to be.

    Honestly - (at least what makes the most sense for me) - trying to eat more natuarally - meaning, the way nature made the food, seems to work for all blood types.  I don't doubt there are some people this works for - but, I don't think it's universal to everyone.  When I really looked at what I ate - there was a lot of processed foods that I needed to substitue for veggies and fruit.  When I eat that way (even with quite a bit of meat) I can lean up and lose weight.  It's staying away from the candy and sugar, that's the challenge for me!!

    When I've sworn off a lot of processed carbs and sugar (fried foods, etc.), I lose weight.  Overall, I do think a balanced diet is best... I think you have to experiement with yourself and see what works for you.

    Weird! I've never heard of this diet before... I guess it makes sense to a point.

    @oracle: Yeah, I don't think I could ever go vegetarian (or vegan, really - since it tells us to cut out dairy too), but I was thinking about working on eating less meat anyway. I would never have thought wheat could be bad, either - so maybe I'll work on finding whole grains that aren't wheat? I agree that more natural is best regardless and I think eating less meat will just mostly be a good way for me to force more veggies into my diet.

    @melodicsighs1: Im assuming maybe gluten is where the wheat goes wrong...  you rarely find 100% wheat products, it's usually bound by the bad stuff that makes it taste better.
