Practitioners of a diet based on blood type say that sticking to the right foods can optimize health and weight, but one local expert urges dieters to use caution when eliminating foods.
The idea behind the diet is that people with type A blood come from a certain agricultural background and should stick to fruits, vegetables and fish, while avoiding red meat.
Those with type O reflect a more carnivorous past and respond well to a low-carb plan.
People with type B blood are a mix of the two, and may not handle raw tomatoes well.
"Food is fuel and if you're putting the wrong fuel in … it won't be able to perform at its maximum," chef Lisa Garza said. "If you get any type of indigestion after a meal, there's probably something in that meal you should eliminate from your diet."
