In short, those of different blood type would be easier to burn certain types of food

for exemple, «A» blood type would burn less well animal protein but would do better with vegetable protein.. meaning? vegetarian would be better for your body

et cetera..

Is that finaly the solution to a lot of people?

[Betheny]

I don't know my blood type.

Eh, ok... very interesting

If that diet is the future of fitness and good health, i'll be pissed, i want my meat every day!

This has been around for several years. From what I can tell, no this really isn't the answer. The people I know who have been on it, didn't lose much weight, except for the type A people who found that the foods they could eat weren't vast enough to have as a regular diet. I'm type A, and I didn't lose any weight following it.
You can try it, but I haven't seen it work.

Fad diets come and go. This is no exception.

The name alone makes this diet irrelevant.

If you're actually considering this diet, you have no hope for achieving weight loss. Read no further.

Systematically you must consider what your goals are, how much percent bodyfat you are, and consider your lifestyle.

Losing weight and keeping it off is a very difficult process. This is due to leptin (or lack of). Fat cells release leptin which controls many hormones throughout the body. When you lose weight leptin levels plummet and your body wants to return to its normal state (high leptin). This is why losing fat and keeping it off is a very difficult process.

I don’t think one can achieve weight loss without knowing the basic physiology behind it. If that diet tells you not to eat meat, it can shove a big fat one up its ass. Whoever created it is an absolute moron and should be shot. What does it want us to eat, 80% carbohydrates?

You have to realize…
Insulin = no fat loss

High carbohydrate diets are not ideal to lose weight once you have achieved normal or subnormal bodyfat levels. This is typically 10-12 percent for males and 18-20 percent for females. After that you can no longer do typical 60% carb, 25% protein,15% fat diets.

I don’t want to really get into all this shit and give you a lecture on the subject.

If you really need advice figure out your basal metabolic rate, subtract 500 calories a day, and set that as your daily maximum. Cheat once a week, weekends if you like for social outings, and weight will come off. I assure you. This is the most fundamental and easiest way to lose weight for a beginner.

LEARN THE BASICS DO NOT JUMP INTO COMPLICATED DIETS.

IF YOU WANT DON’T WANT TO BE NORMAL read BODYOPUS by DAN DUCHAINE or ULTIMATE DIET 2.0 by LYLE MCDONALD. Very good books.

Just pick up a copy of Atkins, it's tested true and easy to understand.

Atkins, or from now on I will call Ketogenic dieting is certainly an excellent diet for the average person.

The average person has shitty genetics. You probably do to. Your body wants to store all the fat it can.

What Ketogenic diets do, systemically subdue insulin response and convert fuels to ketones. Ketones exhibit properties that suppress hunger and also are an extremely good source of fuel. Once Ketosis is reached on a low carbohydrate diet, you feel very good and do rarely crave carbohydrates. With low amounts of insulin, ketones and FFA’s, (free fatty acids) can be used for fuel, primarily by the liver and muscle cells.

The effectiveness of ketogenic diets cannot be denied. What is troubling is that Atkins approach does not involve carb-ups or carb-replenishments. This will eventually lead to muscle loss as glycogen will be depleted from muscle cells on this diet. This is especially bad for a bodybuilder and even worse for the average person. Muscle contributes vastly to ones basal metabolic rate (resting metabolism). You do not want to lose muscle.

I’d suggest 10-14 days of low carb dieting, followed by 2 days of carb replenishments or carb ups.
