My father-in-law is a B type, and he religiously follows the diet for the type. It seems bizarre and unhealthy to me. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/blood-type-and-diet#post-23919 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:02:07 +0000 erict 23919@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Dear Mark,<br /> I recently met up with a friend that I hadn’t seen in over 6 months. I told her that I have basically been following a Pelo diet for the past 5 weeks. She responded that I must have type O blood. She is one of those chronically rotund vegetarians that suffers from low energy at times. Her acupuncturist suggested that she eat according to her blood type. She was a nervous wreak praying that she wasn’t an O. What is your take on blood types and diet?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Eric </p>
