Targeted diets can be useful but lets get one thing straight. Blood type has nothing to do with weight, metabolism, energy, strength… It is completely unrelated and you are being mislead.

Don’t follow the blood type diet, it is pseudoscience.
Just consider for a moment how likely it is that a single extra acetyl galactosamine (the A antigen) on red blood cells is going to make a switch between these 2 cartoonish types. All the complexity of the digestion and musculatory system switched neatly from one stereotype to another? The evidence for that would need to be astounding and it just doesn’t exist. No proper scientists take it seriously.
To lose weight, concentrate on aerobic exercise, ie exercise that you can do comfortably for long periods without getting bored. Dancing to music, for example.

You can ‘prove’ it works by putting people on blood type diets and then later asking them if they feel better. This is the equivalent of ‘proving’ voodoo by getting a witchdoctor to throw curses at Haitians and asking them how they feel.
