There are only about 8% of people with the fourth blood group on earth. This blood group is considered the youngest. It was formed approximately two thousand years ago and combines the properties of blood groups 2 and 3 . The blood type 4 diet combines the vegetarianism recommended for people with blood type 2 and the variety that is provided for people with blood type 3.

It’s not for nothing that the diet for blood group 4 is called aristocratic - it combines the consumption of tender turkey and rabbit meat with all types of seafood, a variety of vegetables, fruits, cereals, and dairy products.

Interesting Facts

The Blood Type Diet has only been around for a few years and was founded by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. As a result of a series of analyzes and studies, he discovered that different people react differently to certain foods, and these reactions are closely related to their blood groups. Dr. D'Adamo argued that each of the blood types arose in a different historical era when people ate a predominant type of food. But in this case, the term “diet” is somewhat misleading. This is not about a way to reduce body weight, but about how to find a food pattern that is most suitable for a particular person's digestion, optimizing the body.


P. D'Adamo

How and why does it work?

To lose weight with this diet, you should reduce the consumption of prohibited foods that the body does not fully use. The remaining energy from consumed food is stored, and body weight increases. These products act like poison on the body. In addition to junk food, there are 2 more types:

  • neutral food – satiating without causing harm;
  • healthy food – supposedly affects the body.

Weight loss is achieved by controlling nutrition and consuming smaller portions. It is also associated with improved general health.

On the other hand, the effectiveness of the diet has never been proven. All the positive aspects attributed to this food concept have no scientific basis.

The diet for positive blood group 4 does not require any special advice or recommendations. It is quite balanced and varied.

Afternoon snacks (afternoon snacks) have a positive effect on the digestion process. It is enough to eat fruits and vegetables.

Diet goal

Thanks to nutritional principles based on blood groups, many people have not only lost weight, but also gotten rid of a number of health problems, in particular psoriasis. Tara Nayak, an employee of diet author Peter D'Adam, recommends this regimen to her clients not as a "cure" but as a basis for developing healthier eating habits. Weight loss is not the end goal.

“I found that in most cases, the diet had a positive effect on people suffering from autoimmune disease,” says T. Nayak.

P. D'Adamo is working to create the concept of nutrition based on blood groups, not as a one-time way to lose weight, but as a method that involves a complete change in lifestyle and eating habits.

“Food preferences” of people with blood group 4

The main characteristics of 4 blood groups with positive Rhesus (AB Rh+): a modern combination of groups A and B, variable response to changes in the environment, nutritional conditions, sensitive digestive tract, strong immunity. The answer to stress is spiritual.

P. D'Adamo focuses on the fact that this group is the youngest, formed less than 1000 years ago. This is an intermediate group between II (A) and III (B). The diet of people with AB Rh+ is based on products from groups A and B.

It is advisable to include in the menu:

  • tofu;
  • seafood;
  • seaweed;
  • vegetables.

You need to give up:

  • red meat;
  • some legumes;
  • wheat;
  • buckwheat

Detailed tables detailing prohibited and permitted foods for blood group 4 Rh positive:

Drinking regime

It is recommended to start the day with warm water and lemon juice. Carrot and grapefruit juice are suitable during the day. Green tea and herbal teas are suitable. Coffee is also not prohibited. Lemonades, orange juice, and black tea should be avoided.

Neutral foods in the diet

The diet includes food with a neutral effect: it does not cause harm, but it does not provide great benefits either. It enriches cells with vitamin complexes and microelements.

Food becomes much more varied thanks to the introduction into the diet of:

  • eggs, liver, lard;
  • mushrooms, various types of cabbage, zucchini, potatoes, onions and carrots;
  • fresh or frozen herring, catfish, catfish and carp;
  • watermelon, melon, pears, raisins, blackberries;
  • peas and white beans;
  • bread, buns, cookies, cereals (barley, semolina, pearl barley);
  • whey, cheeses, skim milk.

The optimal choice would be herbal tea (raspberry, valerian, thyme, St. John's wort), birch, plum, apricot, tomato, birch sap.

  4. The diet recommends eating more green vegetables and fruits, but they should not be sour or underripe.

This is a sufficient reason to give up alcoholic beverages once and for all, but if this option is not possible, it is acceptable to drink a little dry red wine sometimes (on holidays).

Facts and myths

Diet is a word heard at almost every step. About various principles of nutrition, incl. Much has been written about the theory of P. D'Adamo, and no less is discussed. But do you know what is fact and what is just myth?

You can buy smaller clothes and lose weight to your desired size

A British study shows that almost 1/3 of women buy clothes 1-2 sizes smaller, which motivates them to lose extra pounds. On average, a woman has 2-3 such elements in her wardrobe. Most of them will go out of style before the wearer can wear them. The same strategy is used by 12% of men.

You can't gain weight by eating low-fat foods

Products labeled “low fat” or “low fat” are usually made with added sugar, starch, and salt. You end up eating at least the same number of calories as you would in the regular form of such food.

Ideal weight – 58 kg

Although being “slim” is popular today, it is not always a good thing. Especially if you use catwalk models as an example. Do you know what your ideal weight is? When losing weight, follow the formula:

  • for women: height (cm) – 110 (i.e. the ideal weight of a woman with a height of 165 cm = 55 kg);
  • for men: height (cm) – 100.

I have an opinion

Reviews about the diet plan for blood group 4 with positive Rh, as well as about other schemes by P. D'Adamo (,,), are positive with a hint of restrictions that are inconvenient for some.

When following this diet, there is no heaviness in the stomach in the morning, only lightness. Moreover, the diet is not particularly limited.

Yana

For the first time I learned about allowed and forbidden foods. Surprisingly, they coincided with my food preferences. Probably the body knows what it needs. It is important to listen to him.

Tatiana

I was on a blood group 4 diet (I also did morning exercises) and lost about 7 kg in a few months. True, after leaving it I recovered again.

Svetlana

The blood group 4 diet does not imply rapid weight loss. Optimal results – up to 1 kg in 1-2 weeks. Their consolidation consists in continuing to adhere to certain nutritional rules, in particular, limiting fats, sugar, and avoiding overeating.
