How to eat for Blood Type A

The Blood Type Diet was founded by Peter D'Adamo, a naturopathic physician, author, and researcher-educator. According to D'Adamo, type A's do best on a vegetarian type diet. 

More and more Americans are dying from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. This may be because type A's do not digest meat well as the acid content of their stomach's tends to be lower than other blood types.

It could also be that we are not eating food that is meant for our genetics. Have you ever wondered why some people suffer from vitamin deficiencies that other's don't? Consuming food that does not sync well with our genetics can cause dis-ease and nutritional deficiencies. 

This may be why you can't seem to lose weight. You are not eating according to your individual type. 

Below is a guideline beneficial and avoid foods for A's:

NOTE: While this may work great for some people, this is not to say you can't ever have that avoid food. I believe in experimentation and, of course, everyone is different. Our genetics are all different. Listen to your body, start a food journal to help figure out what is best for you.
