The blood group 0 diet provides that subjects belonging to different blood groups respond differently to the same foods; these differences are the consequence of precise biological characteristics.
It is precisely in the blood groups that we find the specific adaptability, of the digestive and immune systems, which made the life of our ancestors possible.
Index
This type of diet divides foods into 3 categories:
- positives: you can eat freely, but obviously being careful of the quantities
- neutral: there may be a more or less high tolerability
- Negatives: it would be better to avoid them entirely
Group 0 is the one closest to hunter-gatherers and has a predilection for all those foods that are offered to us by nature without any human intervention: meat, fish, fruit and vegetables!
Let's see some food tips for this blood group together:
- It is not necessary to count i macros: it is recommended to eat when you feel the hunger stimulus and to chew slowly
- Eliminating dairy products and cereals lowers the consumption of sugars, flours and fats and consequently the daily calorie intake
- Do not drink during meals, but 2 or 3 hours before or after and always drink a glass of water warm as soon as you wake up
