Eating for Blood Type O

Walnuts: the best nut for blood type O's

A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system.

This is just a guide based on research on blood types and how the body thrives with certain types of foods.  Highly processed foods and sweetened foods are not included on this list, as they are not recommended to anyone in general. Humans thrive best on a diet that is made up of whole foods that the earth provides naturally.

Blood Type O individuals are hunters and meat eaters. It is said a person of O blood is best with a protein based  diet. Blood type O is the most common blood type amongst humans.

  1. Nice blog, but I was told Coconut and coconut oil are not recommended for people with type O blood because they can have a bad reaction to substances found in coconut. Any thoughts?

  2. Poultry is NOT considered a food beneficial to blood type O's. It is a neutral food for blood type O.

  3. I see you recommended coconut oil. I assumed that because O's shouldn't eat coconuts, this also applied to coconut oil. Not true? I didn't think eggs were "allowed" either. Thanks.

  4. Okay I know stuff, no coconut oil is NO GOOD for us O's. Also Soy is terrible for anyone has estrogens bad ones too.

    Eggs are OK unless you are of African American descent you should avoid dairy and eggs altogether.

    We can have "white" kidney beans though aka cannelloni beans. No red kidney beans.

    Cucumber is also on void list, I don't know where they are getting these well known blood type O no-no's from.

    It's not recommended we take any indulgent portion of any grains or wheat especially. The phytic acid present in them and legumes make for a lot of body cleansing. not lectins just acidity build up.
    Essene bread or something like that, don't trust anything no matter how organic this or gluten free that we're just having a time fighting grains in general.

  5. I think chicken eggs are allowed but not the eggs of ducks and quails. Liana Werner-Gray could you please confirm that coconut extra virgin oil is beneficial for blood type o?

    1. Hi! There is a lot of mixed information out there about whether coconut oil is good for O types or not. Some say it is a disaster, others say it is fine. My intuition is telling me that coconut oil is not the greatest for blood type O's, since if we study back about how eating for blood types even came about, it was from our ancestors, so for example asians who naturally grew rice and plants are typically blood type A and thrive from a plant based diet. Many blood type O's came from cold places where they needed a lot of meat and protein to survive. Coconut's obviously thrive and grow in warm places, where blood type A's are most likely to be found. If we trust our intuition our body will always tell us whether something is good for us or not. Obviously coconut oil is better for a blood type O than using gmo canola oil! ;)
