Keto right for your blood type

What if there was a way to personalize the keto diet just for your body, ensuring you’d speed off spare pounds and transform your health as quickly and easily as possible? Well, that’s what a new mash-up between keto and the approach from Eat Right 4 Your Type is all about…

With more than 7 million copies in print, Eat Right 4 Your Type has been a bestseller for over two decades. Devotees insist the book’s strategies—with a diet customized for each blood type—work absolute magic. In large polls, a whopping 85% to 90% report being delighted by their results. “That’s true across all four blood types,” shares natural-health expert and researcher Peter D’adamo, N.D., who helped pioneer the famous approach. So why mess with a good thing? “People were constantly asking if my plan works with keto,” he says. The answer: “It can actually personalize the one-size-fits-all diet and make it significantly better!” As proof, he created special keto guidelines. Folks using them report turbocharged losses of up to 3 pounds every day.

Keto— upgraded

Basic keto cuts carbs to about 40 grams a day, slashing the production of blood sugar. “Your body must switch from burning sugar as fuel to burning ketones, a type of fuel it makes from stored fat,” explains Dr. D’adamo. This increases fat burn. Yet some get a bigger boost than others. Why? Complicated science boils down to this: There are compounds in food that only some of us digest well. Eat too much stuff you can’t digest, and it causes a domino effect—“inflammation, bloat, suppressed metabolism

and many health problems,” notes the doc. To pinpoint keto foods that’ll block or boost your success, “your blood type is the key to unlock the mystery.”

Turns out, each blood type developed at a specific point in human history and reveals clues about the diet that helped your ancient ancestors survive and thrive. Many studies now link blood type and certain health conditions—for example, type O is least likely to get IBS and most likely to have a slow thyroid. Dr. D’adamo helped conduct tests to link each blood type to an ideal diet, then melded in keto principles. “In a short time, you see the astonishing difference that comes with eating right for your type!”

Real-world wow

Cutting carbs did little for Danielle Dungen, 49, until she discovered Dr. D’adamo’s approach. Using type O’s lowcarb tricks, “I instantly had more energy, my GI issues went away and I lost 20 pounds in a month!” says the San Antonio grandmother. Soon down 82 pounds, she became a personal trainer who uses blood-type secrets to amp up results for her keto-loving clients. “Some are skeptical at first, but within a week, realize how amazing it is!”
