| | | The theory that you should eat and avoid specific foods and exercise according to your blood type originated from "Eat Right 4 Your Type," a book written in the 1990s. According to the author, Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, avoiding specific lectins can improve your health and prevent disease. | | But is there any truth to these claims? Below, Kirsten Seele, a registered dietitian at Healthline, gives the inside scoop. | | | | | | | Hope this helps!

June 10, 2025 • 3 min read | | | |  | | | | Q: | Does the blood type diet work? | | | A: | The blood type diet has not been scientifically proven, therefore, I do not promote it to my clients.
When clients come to me and ask for advice on a specific diet, I love to give them key things to look out for, regardless of which diet they're asking about. The four things to think about are found below: - What evidence supports the benefits and claims of this diet? Check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health to understand the medical community's stance on a particular diet. Often, you'll find the existing research is inconclusive, in which case it may be helpful to talk with a doctor or dietitian.
- Does this diet promote the elimination of certain foods or food groups? If yes, be cautious, especially if it's severely restrictive. This can lead to health concerns, nutrient deficiencies, and reduced quality of life.
- Does this diet promise results with no exercise required? Find an alternative if you're looking for outcomes relating to weight management, chronic disease prevention or management, and even improved mental health.
- Is someone trying to make money through this diet or selling extra supplements, plans, etc.? If yes, be leery!
As a dietitian, I promote whole foods and exercise, which are two main focuses of the blood type diet. However, without adequate scientific backing, there's no reason to avoid certain foods or take a plethora of supplements, bars, teas, etc. | | | | | Kirsten Seele, Registered Dietitian | | | Want to learn more about food, diets, cooking, or some other nutrition subject?
