What is the Genotype Diet

The Genotype Diet is an expansion on the concept of the Blood Type Diet which was created by naturopathic physician Dr. Peter D’Adamo.

Dr. D’Adamo classifies people into six distinct genetic body types based on how certain genes and physical characteristics are known to occur in combination. He claims that customizing the diet and lifestyle to suit each genotype is the key to achieving weight loss and optimal health.

Although we can’t change our genes, we can influence the environmental aspects such as nutrition, exercise and how we respond to stress, which will in turn affect the way that the genes are expressed; either supporting health or contributing to illness.

The Genotypes:

• Hunter, Tall and athletic, with a square jaw. Prone to inflammatory diseases such as allergies and rheumatoid arthritis. Blood type O.
• Gatherer, Emotional temperament and usually have a high BMI. Often have a history of crash dieting and have problems with appetite regulation. Blood type O or B.
• Teacher, Naturally flexible and enthusiastic nature. Susceptible to bacterial infections. Blood type A and sometimes AB.
• Explorer, Muscular, adventurous and intelligent. Sensitive to caffeine and medications. Any blood type but often Rh-negative.
• Warrior, Charismatic and highly strung. Often age prematurely. Blood type A or AB.
• Nomad, Very tall or short. Quiet, optimistic and rational nature. Often have sensitive digestive systems. Blood type B or AB.

Recommended Food
The specific foods recommended vary depending on which genotype you belong to. Each genotype has a list of foods that are beneficial for that specific type.

General dietary structures and composition of protein, carbohydrates and fats will also vary for each type. For example a ‘hunter’ will thrive on a diet that contains generous servings of red meat whereas a ‘gatherer’ will do better on a predominantly vegetarian diet.

The health benefits of specific foods for each genotype are highlighted and D’Adamo explains the reasoning behind the tailored approach to address particular aspects of health for each type.

The online site provides recipes for each genotype. Examples of recipes for each type include:

Hunter: Grilled Steak With Red Onion and Peas
Gatherer: Asian Stir Fry
Teacher: Turkey Parmesan With Arugula
Explorer: Pasta With Turkey, Carrots and Cilantro Pesto
Warrior: Pan Seared Tuna
Nomad: Honey Barbecue Burgers
