10-Day Blood Type Diet Challenge
Before you start:
Know your blood type. Learn which foods are Beneficials, Neutrals and Avoids for your
type (foods can be checked in Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s Revised and Updated Eat Right 4
Your Type book, our Blood Type Diet App or the TypeBase Food Values lookup). Plan an
exercise schedule based on the recommended exercises for your type and your physical
ability. Check out our social media, website, and our blog for more information, tips,
recipes and more.
Days 1-5:
1. Choose foods that are Highly Beneficial/Beneficial for your blood type, and
eliminate all Avoid foods. By only eating foods and supplements right for your type, it
allows your body to detoxify and function at its best.
2. Purchase organic, fresh, whole foods and try to stay away from processed foods.
3. Start each day with a tall glass of water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Aim to drink
8-10 glasses of water each day.
4. Supplement with the Deflect for your blood type to help detox the lectins.
5. Record what you eat, your exercise routine, the supplements you take, and how you
feel (your energy levels, mood, etc.) day to day to track your journey.
Days 6-10:
1. This is the restoration and balance stage and is less restrictive.
2. You can begin to introduce Neutral foods to your diet which adds more variety.
3. Continue to eat mostly Beneficial foods and eliminate Avoid foods.
Note: There are example daily menus for each blood type in the Revised and Updated
Eat Right 4 Your Type book (p.239-248).
Sometimes, Avoids are simply unavoidable.
Meet Deflect, your first line of defense against lectins in Avoid foods. While it can’t
magically turn Avoids into Beneficials, Deflect may assist in healthy weight loss and
the repair of pre-existing lectin damage.
What are lectins? A class of proteins that bind to the different antigens in each blood
type, lectins can harm immune and digestive function. This causes a variety of health
problems including intestinal and bowel irritation, bloating, weight gain and lethargy.
