What is the blood type diet?
The blood type diet, also known as the blood group diet gained popularity by the naturopathic physician called Dr Peter D'Adamo in the 1990s. He wrote the book, "Eat Right 4 Your Type." Each blood type has been given a name which reflects its dietary recommendations.
Type A: Called the agrarian, or cultivator.
Type B: Called the nomad.
Type AB: Called the enigma.
Type O: Called the hunter.
