One of the most revolutionary diets of recent times has been the blood group diet. It is a food method that is based on the real needs of our body. And, for this, our blood group is taken into account that will indicate the type of body we have and nutritional needs. It is a method created by Dr. Peter d ‘Adamo who indicated that the blood group can indicate the individual characteristics of each person.
In we will talk about the diet of blood group 0 positive indicating the recommended and prohibited foods for this type of person. However, it is important that you know that this diet has not been scientifically proven, it is a food theory that, yet, has no scientific basis.
The diet of blood group and group 0
In order to start discovering what is the diet of the positive blood group 0 that is recommended, it is important that, before, you know the basis on which this food theory hangs. According to this diet, each blood group has specific biological needs and, therefore, must be fed in a specific way.
In the case of group 0 it is considered to be the oldest blood type and, therefore, people who have this group are considered hunter-gatherers. The other groups (A, B, AB) evolve over time and, therefore, have needs adapted to their times (agriculture, livestock, etc.) being the AB the most evolved group and, therefore, the one that can eat the most food.
How are people with blood group 0 positive?
- People with physical strength
- They are usually active and optimistic
- Their digestive system is resistant although they are at risk of ulcers
- If they have an unbalanced diet they may have thyroid problems, asthma or arthritis
- They need to practice physical exercise on a regular basis to stay in perfect shape
The recommended diet for group 0 positive
As we have already said, people who have this blood group are considered to be people who, biologically, have hunter-gatherer needs. This means that your diet should be based, above all, on the consumption of proteins, fruits and vegetables.
Good foods for positive blood group 0
Now that you know better what this diet consists of, let's discover the foods for blood group 0 positive. Here we will give you a list with all those ingredients that you CAN include in your diet. They are foods that, due to their biological conditions, are well assimilated by your body and, therefore, you can make the most of them. They will help you to function better inside, to enjoy better digestions and to lose weight.
Many times, we take weight because we do not have an adequate diet. It may be the case that some “healthy” foods don't end up feeling good for you. And, therefore, they can make you swell more, retain more liquids, and so on. With the diet of blood group 0 positive, they help you to be able to know what type of food is recommended for your body and your blood.
List of good foods for positive group 0
- Meats: beef or veal, lamb, game meat, chicken, turkey
- Fish: sardines, sole, cod, salmon, hake, seafood
- Vegetables: chard, onion, garlic, artichokes, leek, broccoli, garlic, pumpkin, spinach, endives, red pepper
- Olive oil
- Nuts: pumpkin seeds, walnuts
- Fruits: figs, plums, pineapple
- Dairy: butter, mozzarella, goat cheese

In general, the diet of a person with this blood type has to be focused on the consumption of proteins accompanied by vegetables. It is important to always accompany the diet with fruits and vegetables to avoid excessive acidification of the body.
In the event that you are vegetarian or vegan and you have group 0 positive, we recommend reading that other article with foods rich in vegetable protein so that you can replace the animal presence of your diet.
Foods to avoid this blood group
On the other hand, it is also essential that you know what are the foods to avoid if you have blood group 0 positive. Just as there are ingredients recommended for your type of biology, there are also others that are not assimilated correctly by your body and, therefore, you have to avoid as much as possible.
In fact, this is where the main difference of this type of diet with other diets for weight loss lies. The diet of the blood group is based on the foods that feel bad to each body, regardless of whether they are foods that have always been considered as “good” or “bad”.
Foods not recommended for group 0
- Meats: meats that come from pork, sausages, duck
- Fish: octopus, smoked salmon, caviar, herring
- Vegetables: cauliflower, eggplant, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, avocado, red cabbage, cabbage

- Eggs
- Dairy: yoghurt, milk, fatty cheeses (brie, emmental, camembert…), curd
- Nuts: peanuts, pistachios
- Fruits: citrus, blackberries, strawberries, melon, coconut
- Cereals: wheat, corn, couscous, oats, popcorn
In the case of dairy, the best option is to switch to the vegetable version. For example, soy milk is a good option for people with this blood group because, in addition, it has a high protein intake.
As you can see, wheat is a type of cereal that is not recommended in people with this blood group. This does not mean that they are celiac but that, simply, their digestive system is not prepared to digest gluten well. Therefore, it is better to opt for gluten-free options to enjoy better digestion and better digestive health.
