Blood Type Diet - Type A

Blood Type Diet - Type A

Type As flourishes on vegetarian diets. Type As are predisposed to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It is particularly important for sensitive Type As to get their foods in as natural a state as possible: fresh, pure, and organic. When you get on the Type A Diet, you will naturally be thinner. If you are accustomed to eating meat, you'll lose weight rather rapidly in the beginning as you eliminate the toxic foods from your diet. And when you follow the Type diet, you can supercharge your immune system and potentially short-circuit the development of life-threatening diseases.

When Type As eat meat, they experience sluggishness. Type As have low stomach-acid content, therefore they have a hard time digesting meat. Since Type As eat very little animal protein, nuts and seeds supply an important protein component. Type As also thrive on the vegetable proteins found in beans and legumes, except those mentioned for the "Avoid" list. These beans can cause a decrease in insulin production, which may cause obesity and diabetes. Tofu should be a staple in the Type A Diet.

Dairy foods are also poorly digested by Type As, and can cause metabolic slowdown. Type As can tolerate small amounts of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, nonfat sour cream, and cultured dairy products.

Vegetables are vital to the Type A Diet, providing minerals, enzymes and antioxidants. Type A are very sensitive to the lectins in potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes and peppers. They aggravate the delicate stomach of Type A. Type A should eat more fruits that are alkaline, avoid mangoes, papaya and oranges for they are not good for your digestive tract.

Blood Type Diet - Type O

Blood Type Diet - Type O

Type O—Oldest, most basic blood type, effective predators, survivors. Type Os thrive on intense physical exercise and animal protein. Unlike the other blood types, Type Os muscle tissue should be slightly on the acid side. Type Os can efficiently digest and metabolize meat because they tend to have high stomach-acid content. The success of the Type O Diet depends on the use of lean, chemical-free meats, poultry, and fish. Type Os don't find dairy products and grains quite as user friendly as do most of the other blood types.

The initial weight loss on the Type O Diet is by restricting consumption of grains, breads, legumes, and beans. The leading factor in weight gain for Type Os is the gluten found in wheat germ and whole wheat products, which interferes with insulin efficiency and slow down metabolic rate. Another factor that contribute to weight gain is certain beans and legumes (lentils and kidney beans) contain lectins that deposit in the muscle tissues making them less "charged" for physical activity. The third factor in Type O weight gain is that Type Os have a tendency to have low levels of thyroid hormone or unstable thyroid functions, which also cause metabolic problems. Therefore it is good to avoid food that inhibits thyroid hormone (cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, mustard green) but increase hormone production (kelp, seafood, iodized salt).

Because of the high acidity stomach, Type Os should eat fruits of alkaline nature such as berries and plums. Type Os should severely restrict the use of dairy products. Their system is not designed for the proper metabolism. If you are a Type O, you should eliminate dairy foods and eggs altogether.

Weight Loss Tips by Neeraj Mehta

NEERAJ MEHTA

Tip: Green Tea

It's in our energy drinks, our ice cream, and our sodas. Consider pure green tea as your beverage of choice for weight loss. People given green tea extract experienced quick weight loss. They burned more total and more fat calories than those given caffeine or placebo, according to a study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Tip: Exercise Is Added Activity

Think you can skip cleaning the garage because you're following a weight loss diet and exercise regimen? Sorry. Exercise doesn´t help quick weight loss if it takes the place of regular activity, so don´t hire someone to mow the lawn while you take an aerobics class. Mow the lawn after class and you'll see weight loss results as well as a happier spouse!

Tip: TV Watching

A good weight loss diet is also a TV diet. For each hour of television you view per day, you have a 2% increased chance of becoming obese. It probably works in the other direction too, so for effective weight loss, try taking one or more of those TV hours and doing something active instead. That goes for the computer too.

Tip: Eat Water-Filled Foods

First bottled water was good for quick weight loss and now watery foods are. No, not tasteless soups. Foods high in water content, like fruits and vegetables, will fill you up without adding many calories. Eat your veggies first on a weight loss diet.

Tip: High Fiber Eating

Even with all the fad weight loss advice, fiber is still good for a healthy weight loss diet. High fiber foods fill you up with less calories. If you try high fiber eating, you will usually find yourself eating fruits, vegetables, and grains, and have less room for fatty meats and sweets.
