Some netizens believe that using this method to lose weight is indeed effective, while others hold a skeptical attitude.

14 blood types, each with a diet to lose weight?

The reporter learned that the principle of the "blood type weight loss method" is: people of different blood types have different abilities to digest and absorb nutrients, so if you want to lose weight, you must eat food that is easier to digest to improve the efficiency of weight loss. According to the online statement, the most common blood type O, A, B and AB, respectively, correspond to a diet weight loss method.

For example, people with type O blood have a high amount of stomach acid and strong digestive ability. The most essential are animal proteins, such as fish and meat. Dairy products, bread, tofu, and grains can reduce digestion, so it is important to eat less and exercise regularly.

People with type A blood have much weaker organ digestion than those with type O. To lose weight with this type of blood, vegetables should be the main food, and the most suitable ones are legumes such as soybeans, and meat should not be consumed. In addition, foods made from pure milk such as cream, various cheeses, and milk are also avoided from consumption.

People with type B blood are more likely to achieve balance in the body and have a strong immune system. People with this blood type are generally classified as strong and robust, and can eat almost all types of meat and plants. But in terms of meat, eat less lean meat with less fat. Peanuts, wheat, potatoes and other foods can easily lead to a decrease in metabolic efficiency in people with type B blood, so they should be avoided.

People with type AB blood have weaker digestive organs, and it is generally not suitable for people with type A and type B blood to consume food. People with type AB blood are also not suitable for consumption. Be sure to consume meat protein, but it should be low. The most suitable protein is fish and shellfish protein, and eggs are also good. Be sure to eat more vegetables.

The reporter searched for keywords on Zhiwang and found nearly 20 related articles, each discussing blood type as a reference for weight loss and dietary guidelines. However, all of them were published before 2010, and the earliest one was published in 1998, which has been 25 years since then.

I haven't heard of this method before. I believe in science for weight loss

Is the blood type weight loss method reliable and scientific? With questions in mind, the reporter contacted Liu Yanting, the chief physician of the Department of Neurology at Yangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Liu Yanting said, "I've never heard of this weight loss method before." Later, he also consulted colleagues and said that there is no clinical method of developing weight loss plans based on blood type.

Liu Yanting explained, "What we need to understand is that there is no clear evidence to support the relationship between blood type and physiological characteristics such as metabolism, digestive ability, and fat distribution in the human body. Although some studies have shown that people with different blood types may have differences in certain aspects, these differences are usually small and insufficient to serve as a basis for developing personalized weight loss plans. Therefore, blood type weight loss methods still lack sufficient scientific support."

Liu Yanting believes that the so-called "blood type weight loss method" often oversimplifies the complex weight loss process, ignoring individual differences and genetic factors. Simply developing a weight loss plan based on blood type may not meet everyone's actual needs.

In addition, many so-called "blood type weight loss methods" encourage the use of extreme dietary methods to quickly lose weight, which may not only cause harm to the body but also lead to rebound after weight loss. Healthy weight loss should be a long-term process that requires gradual weight loss through a balanced diet and moderate exercise.
