Thinking About A Diet - Consider The Blood Type B Diet

There is no danger in reading about diets. But please, do not undertake any diet without discussing its pros and cons with a qualified health care professional. You can really harm yourself if you don't take proper precautions. And don't expect to lose pound after pound quickly and effortlessly. Keeping these precautions in mind you are now ready to consider the Blood Type B Diet.

The Blood Type B Diet is one of a group of diets that depend on the individual's blood type. These four related diets are all said to promote weight loss, eliminate toxins and fat from the organism, fight against some illnesses, and slow the aging process. Blood type B, in which B stands for barbarian, probably originated in the Himalayas. Most people with this blood type are located in that general area. Here are some of the diet principles.

You may eat a wide variety of foods. For example, among the various meats only chicken should not be eaten. Try to avoid nuts and grains. Eat pasta, corn, and buckwheat in moderation. Make sure to eat at least one piece of fruit a day. This diet comes with a long list of foods to eat and foods to avoid, so you will need a book. Even among the favored food groups such as fish and vegetables there are plenty of items to avoid. For example, stay away from crustaceans, shellfish, anchovies, eel, bass, barracuda, smoked salmon, and frogs. Good choices include fatty fish and white fish. You should probably take magnesium supplements, perhaps 500 mg daily, but first check with your heath care professional before you do so. Three times a week perform strenuous exercise, which increases your cardio-vascular capabilities. Relax with meditation, yoga, or tai chi twice a week.

Some advantages of the Blood Type B Diet include improving the state of your cells and immune system. Its foods are varied and healthy. This diet is said to help in the fight against aging, cardio-vascular illnesses, some cancers, and diabetes. Be sure to take these claims with a grain of salt. Its disadvantages include the need for food supplements, and of course the problem of preparing food for a family whose members have different blood types.

Here is a sample menu: For breakfast eat a bowl of rice bran cereal with skim milk, a banana and a glass of grape juice. At lunch enjoy a Greek salad and a small cluster of grapes. Your mid-afternoon snack is a skim milk yogurt, the juice of one banana, and a cup of green tea. For supper you may eat a dish of beets and turkey meatballs.

A quick look at the Amazon web site revealed several diet books, cookbooks, and food lists dedicated to the Blood Type B Diet. Both paper and electronic versions are available.
