Research shows blood type doesn't matter
“There's no reason to choose a certain diet based on blood type. The positive results people get from this diet have to do with what they're filling their plates with — more fruits and vegetables, good quality grains, and less and leaner meats.”
Fruits and Vegetables
While you can eat most fruits on the Blood Type Diet, two varieties to avoid are coconuts and pomegranates. If you have type B blood, you can fill up on leafy greens, but you should skip corn, tomatoes, avocados and pumpkin.
