What does it consist of?

The Sangui group represents for most of us, a mere medical index intended to better treat us when needed, but it is much more than that to believe Dr. D'Adamo .

The latter proposes in his book 4 blood groups, 4 diets to adopt a lifestyle adapted to our genetic identifier . This program promises well -being , maintaining our ideal weight and slowing the aging process of our body .

The list of pleases proposed for each type of blood category was carried out according to the origin of a group. This is simply because our body better assimilates the food that our ancestors fed.

Thus, the people being O have the same blood group as one of our first ancestors, the Cromagnon man, whose diet was at the time mainly composed of proteins derived from the animals brought back after the trying hunting parties. They must therefore focus on meat dishes and practice a sustained sports activity .

Blood group A is directly related to the development of agriculture. It has led to a sedentarization of our ancestors and thus a total upheaval of life habits. The diet is mainly vegetarian .

Group B refers directly to our ancestors from the highlands of the Himalayas. The latter used to eat mainly dairy and meat from the capture and domestication of livestock while not omitting the products of nature, which ultimately brought them a relatively balanced diet .

Finally the group AB, which without surprise comes from the union of the European tribes of the group A with those Mongolians of the group B. If it has striking resemblances sometimes with the group A sometimes with the B it can just as well completely move away from the point of view of food .

The most and the least

The positive:

- In view of the wide choice of foods offered, including meat and therefore protein, there is no feeling of hunger that is felt since the satiety threshold is quickly reached.
- The elimination of refined foods in the 4 programs causes rapid weight loss.
- Numbers of uncommon foods are recommended which promotes diversity and the discovery of food during our meals.
- If the loss of weight is not equal for each blood group, it is still visible beyond two to three weeks.

The inconvenients :

- Like most slimming programs, this one may seem difficult to follow but also restrictive when it comes to eating out. Motivation must therefore be required before and during the plan.
- If you are greedy and have a real attraction for sweet products see fat, expect real frustrations time to get used to and find a true balance of food.
- The main defect is certainly this: various deficiencies appear in each of the blood groups (vitamins, iron, magnesium, cereal fiber ...) which is why Dr. D'Adamo recommends in his book, a list of dietary supplements .
