As someone with Blood Type O, I align my grocery shopping with my body’s natural strengths and needs. Type O is known as “The Hunter”—a profile characterized by a hardy digestive tract, an overactive immune system, and a metabolism that thrives on high-protein diets. To maintain energy, strength, and optimal health, I follow the principles outlined in my favorite book, Eat Right for Your Type by Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo.

Key Guidelines for Blood Type O

• High-protein diet—lean meats, fish, and nutrient-dense vegetables 

• Limited grains, beans, and legumes—avoiding wheat, corn, kidney beans, and lentils 

• Weight-loss key foods—kelp, seafood, red meat, spinach, kale, and broccoli 

• Supplements—Vitamin B, Vitamin K, calcium, iodine, and kelp

Where & How I Shop for My Blood Type O Diet

Meat & Poultry

I prioritize local farms and properly raised meats—as nature intended. My go-to selections include:

• Grass-fed, grass-finished red meats—Sirloin steak, bison, lamb (portion size: 2-5 oz for women, 4-6 oz for men)
• Pasture-raised poultry—I choose lean cuts from chickens raised in their natural habitat, eating bugs and worms (no soy or corn feed).
• Wild-caught fish—Single line-caught salmon, cod, halibut, and mackerel provide omega-3s and essential nutrients.

Eggs & Dairy Alternatives

I buy regenerative organic eggs that are soy- and corn-free. One day, I hope to raise my own chickens!

Dairy is mostly a no-go for Type O, but I enjoy:

• Almond milk
• Pecorino cheese & Romanian urda (the few cheeses I tolerate)

Flour & Bread Alternatives 

Type O and wheat don’t mix. But I love bread, so I use:

• Spelt flour (a better option for my body)
• Rice flour for occasional pasta options

Oils, Nuts & Seeds

• Olive oil is my staple cold oil (for dressings and drizzles)
• Ghee is my staple for hot oil (for cooking)

Nuts & seeds I always have on hand: 

• Walnuts 

• Pumpkin seeds 

• Hemp seeds 

• Flaxseeds

Occasionally, I enjoy chestnuts

Beans & Legumes

Since most beans aren’t ideal for Type O, I stick to:

• Adzuki beans
• Black-eyed peas

Fruits & Vegetables I stock up on highly beneficial produce to support my immune system and metabolism.

• Leafy greens—Kale, spinach, collard greens
• Cruciferous veggies (avoiding cauliflower & Brussels sprouts)—Broccoli is a go-to
• Fruits—Berries, plums, and figs are some of my favorites

A Lifetime of Learning & Healing 

I was raised vegetarian, but as a Type O, that didn’t work for my body—I was always borderline anemic according to my mom. Once I shifted my diet to match my genetic blueprint, I felt stronger, more energized, and healthier than ever.

I’ll be sharing my shopping lists, weekly menus, and Blood Type O recipes here on my website, so stay tuned! If you’re curious about this lifestyle, I highly recommend reading Eat Right for Your Type—it’s truly life-changing.
