Has anyone read into the Blood-type diet much? I lost 2kg last week from being really lazy with cooking and eating pretty much just steak, beans and lots of cups of tea. Was talking to a friend about the blood type diet so I looked it up and it said tea, meat and lentils are ideal foods for me to eat if I wanna lose weight. Just wondering if anyone had tried it, or whether my weight loss was just a coincidence.
