I doubt it. Its basicily about consistance of eating habits and exercise habits.Although some studies say different nutrition by blood type ,family history diseases, and chemical imbalance most common in females and overweight people.

I know people who follow the “Blood Type Diet” book. It is so ridiculous. A close family member refuses to eat any pork products because it is “not on her list.”
The only reason this “diet” works is because you will be limiting certain foods from your diet, which will mostly result in a lower over-all calorie intake.
Eating clean is the best option. Eat 4-6 small meals a day (usually total 1,800-2,200 calories, depending on your goals and how much you exercise). Cut out the junk food and sodas. Switch your drinks to water, tea, and a small coffee now and then (not super-calorie lattes and mochas). Eat whole grains, meat portions of 3-5 oz, fruits, dairy, and tons of veggies, especially green veggies.
Going on a “Diet” will only make food the enemy. Eating well and going for good nutrition will make you see food as it is – great things that nourish our body. Try Tosca Reno’s Eating Clean Diet (yeah, I know it’s called a Diet, but it’s not – it’s the way people who work out and athletes have eaten for Decades). There is also an Eating Clean Magazine and Oxygen Magazine has lots of good tips – though many women don’t like the “bulked up” chicks in that magazine. Don’t worry – eating well and lifting weights won’t make you bulk up unless you try REALLY hard to do that.
Add some walking or other cardio, stretch ten to twenty minutes a day and lift weights for 20 minutes twice a week and you will transform you body and feel better than you ever have in your life. Leave the Diet fads for people who want to spend the rest of their lives Yo-Yo-ing with their weight.

Being O blood type, if you were to follow the diet, it would entail you eating excessive amounts of red meat. My father was type O, and followed the diet for years – his cholesterol became so dangerously high as a result, that his doctor said he had to discontinue eating such high amounts of red meat, or risk heart attack. He adjusted his diet, and his levels are normal again. This same diet suggests that people with other blood types avoid meats all together (which can also be very unhealthy, if you’re not getting the appropriate amounts of protein). If you want to stabalize weight and maintain energy, a balanced diet, exercise and good sleep is key. Don’t bother with diets. I had a consultation with a nutritionalist who said the best way to eat is have your plate comprise of 60% fruits and vegetables, 25% meats/protein, and 15% carbs. Depending on your lifestyle, you may need more carbs. So to sum things up, be very careful with the eat-for-your-type diet. Just try to eat healthy and balanced.
