I went to a corporate training years ago with a woman who swore by this “diet”. I picked up a book on it (still on my shelf), and tried to read through what was best/to be avoide for my blood type (also B+). It basically said I should avoid too many of the things that are a part of my daily diet (chicken, corn, tomatoes), so I decided not to follow it afterall. I do have issues no and again when I can tell my blood sugar levels bottom out and I get super shaky. Usually a piece of cheese helps me out right away. I’ve thankfully never had any issues with diet and running. I just make sure the only thing I eat before a run is a banace, I take water and gatorade on my runs, and I try to avoid any of the sport energy bars during long runs because those do upset my belly.

I was just reading about this subject in a book by Cyndi O’Meara and was highly sceptical that your blood type has any effect on how you do or don’t tolerate certain foods. So I will read the links you provided to see if there is more scientific evidence of this as I am curious. At the end of the day, if something disagrees with you, then don’t eat it.

Can’t believe you run 30km+ per week! Good on you.

I remember reading somewhere that B+ is quite popular in Estonia and Hungary but not so much elsewhere. In my old neighborhood (US) there were 8 blood donors with B+ out of hundreds so I got a call every 8 weeks like clockwork.
Based on the list I’m eating everything that I shouldn’t be. I could survive on black beans, tomatoes and sourdough with salted butter:P

I have type B+ and in blood level issues I tend to have similar problems and I have linked it to my choice of food just lately. Even I had really big problems with my blood suger and level on my last pregnancy.
some things listed as “bad” I have left out from my diet just because it didn’t feel right any more.
and, you should really stick to a white wine :)

I think that’s the thing with these blood type diets – if something is NOT making you feel unwell then no matter what some book says – there’s probably no reason why you shouldn’t eat it. For example, I will definitely keep eating chicken. But then again, maybe once you get to MY age ;), you’ll find out that your body does function better when you limit dairy. 10 years ago my body worked well no matter what I put into it.

Oh my… I know about the diet, my mother has a book, I think she tried it for a while and then decided it’s not worth it. I am 0+, didn’t remember any of my restrictions, so I looked it up again.

Avoid dairy and eggs – HAHA. I’m addicted to milk, can’t do. Avoid gluten – rye and spelt are ok moderately, I eat the first one daily and the second one every week, also there’s a little bit of white flour in my cakes. Nah… Can’t do :D They say I can eat more meat than rest of the types, but pork, ham and bacon are restricted, chicken needs moderate use, beef is best.

Some things about typical health concerns and body type description were right, others were VERY wrong.

All in all, don’t like the diet :D I try to eat as healthy and organic as possible, I think it’s enough for now. Maybe some day…
