Blood-Type Diet
Proposed in 1996 by naturopathic doctor Peter J. D'Adamo, this type of diet claims that our nutritional needs depend on our blood type - O, A, B, or AB. For example, according to this diet, Type O appreciates more meat, Type A - more vegetables, Type B - more eggs and Type AB - more fish. While there is no scientific evidence that this type of diet works, there are still followers of Blood-Type Diet.
