There is no real scientific data (at least that I've seen) demonstrating that blood types have anything to do with diet.

I was a meat eater for 27 years and had a slew of health issues that the Dr.s couldn't figure out. After tests, tests and more tests I decided to do a little experimenting with my diet. I did the clean eating thing- no refined foods, grass fed beef, organic everything. I didn't notice much of a change. I still had horrible allergies and fatigue. I did the low carb thing and was miserable and hungry the entire time. I have been vegan for almost 3 years. One of the first things I noticed was that I did not miss meat and dairy at all. I thought for sure I'd be having some crazy cravings, headaches... something. After all, that's what happened when I gave up carbs. After that first day, I never looked back. I had never tried a diet that made me feel better on the first day. After the first 3 weeks, I noticed huge (positive) changes in my skin, body and mood. I can honestly say that I feel better and look better... as long as I stay away from a lot of refined food. A vegan diet can provide everything the body needs. However its very easy to fall into eating convenient, pre made, processed food because its, well, convenient. I think no matter what diet you chose to follow, its important to eat "real" food. I think processed foods do the most damage. Anyway, I really just meant to ask you this question :) I read somewhere (and I wish I could remember where) that different blood types may do better with a plant based diet than others. Just wondering if you have any thoughts or information about that. Thanks for your time :) I agree that there is no singular diet plan that will work for the masses.

A lacto-ovo vegetarian is still consuming animal proteins and fats. It's a misnomer to call someone with such a diet a vegetarian.

There is no one perfect diet for the masses. Eating less volume of food is very important as well as fasting to give the body a natural detox cycle. I believe in regular vitamin/supplement fasts as well. (obtain from vitamins 1-2 days a week) Drinking iodized water, getting plenty of sun exposure and supplementing with Vitamin D3 is important. The rest can be managed with bio feedback, meditation, proper stress/relaxation cycles, fresh foods and a good outlook on life. To your health! Eric Diets must be individualized.
