Blood group diet
Discussion
Hitched a ride back from my training day with a sweet girl called sue. Anyway, we got talking and she was saying about blood groups.
Apparently the main blood groups came from different places on the earth that ate different diets. Ie, O+ might have eaten a meat rich diet where group AB may have eaten a diet consisting of pulses, vegetation and fish just for example. her hypothesis was that in order to remain healthy we should eat the diet that pertains to our blood group.
Has anyone heard anything along these lines or have i been listening to chinese whispers?
Ah, right. More info:

Doesn't appear to be very healthy though.

"Dr D’Adamo believes because our type O ancestors survived and thrived on a high-protein, meat-based diet, that’s the type of diet blood group Os should follow in the 21st century."
Anyone with a clue knows that the Atkins Diet is for idiots. Following this diet on a long term basis will result in seriously bad health. I guess when you're ill, you do lose a tremendous amount of weight, though. Oh, ok, as you were.
PS which blood group am I? To maintain my weight, I find eating pies, cakes, kebabs and chips plus doing very little exercise is the way forward.
ETA:
Ah, I'm Blood Type F...
"And the cons?
"There are plenty. On a practical level, you may need a blood test to discover your blood group if you don’t already know it – and this will mean a trip to your local health centre! Mealtimes may also be impossible if everyone in the family wants to follow the diet, but has a different blood group! But most importantly, it’s just another cranky way of getting people to cut calories – and the most worrying thing about this is that while you’ll probably lose weight, it could also affect your health in the long term. Nevertheless, if you’re still adamant about giving it a go, it’s best to follow it for just a short time (one week or less) and use it to kick-start a longer-term, healthy, weight-loss plan.
Juliette’s verdict
"I’m really not a fan of this diet. It’s filled with pseudo-science and has the potential to scare people into avoiding many nutritious foods in an effort to lose weight. It’s also worth bearing in mind that although the diet gives the impression that it’s based on sound scientific research this is, in fact, far from the case. Ultimately, the theory is nonsense.
"Nevertheless, based on Dr D’Adamo’s theory, I’m looking forward to the evolution of blood type F! People with blood type F will need lots of fast food, takeaways, pizza, sugary snacks, crisps and chocolate to remain in tune with their environment. After all, if the theory is correct, surely that’s what we can expect, based on what many of us now eat in the 21st century!"

How does one catch this Atkins disease? 
I don't know if you should eat a certain diet depending on your blood group, seems to me a balanced diet is best, or so most people tell me, but as a blood group O person I do find myself drawn to meat/protein rich foods, could be coincidence of course.
I also agree with shadowninja that eating pies/chips/kebabs etc help me to maintain my weight
