Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight

Description

Proposes that a person's blood type can both influence health and explain individuals' reactions to foods, and presents four different plans, based on blood type, for diet, exercise, and good health.

If you've ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn't work for you... well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it's a fad diet. But it could also be that you're the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D'Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you'll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations.

Summary: "Eat Right for your Blood Type"

Great book. Lots of insight into how the foods we eat affect our bodies depending on our blood type. Our family has introduced the blood type diet to our daily lives (for the most part) and have seen a huge difference in how we feel - thinking clearer, better memory, more energy. We're recommending it to all of our friends.

Summary: "Great book"

I had read this book before; it is very easy to read and it makes sense to me from a medical and scientific perspective. I had my own copy; but have loaned it out to several friends and co workers. It was time I ordered another copy. The copy I ordered was in nearly perfect condition.

Summary: "Froim a skeptic-this is NOT woo!"

First, a note to those starting out: DO follow the sample three day plans laid out by a nutritionist in the book. Do plan your meals until you really have a feel for this. Follow the variations in those three days, eventually figuring out how to fill in your own blanks.

I have been eating according to my blood type for 10 weeks. I went cold turkey. As a type B, this wasn't difficult. To be honest, I wanted to rave about this book on third day, when I started feeling terrific, but I decided to wait.

-I have lost two dress sizes without counting calories, measuring portions or paying for a diet plan. I have exercised no more or less than before.

-Fibromyalgia has not gone away, but I am in far less pain, and have gone from being bedridden in pain to only one minor flare up in the ten weeks since starting. This change is huge. I cannot express how chronic pain brings you down and interferes with all aspects of your life. This is minimal now.

-My metabolism is working. My body temp went up from 96 to a gloriously normal 98.7. I was sluggish, slow, cold all the time, wouldn't even sweat after 40 minutes on the treadmill. I'm normal again! Now, when I exercise, I sweat, and now finally, my normal portions are resulting in weight loss, not weight gain.

-Regulated and painless female cycles.

-energy and endorphins galore!

-hypoglycemia gone

I think the science should be investigated more deeply with this diet. I am an avowed skeptic, but at the recommendation of several medical doctors I decided to try. I will never regret it. I would never trade how I feel for the foods I gave up. I don't even crave them. I have to remember to eat, and after I do, I feel wonderful. I am the third person in my family to have great, real, measured success in chronic health issues and weight on this plan. A dear friend of mine with rheumatoid arthritis started eating for her type--which I will note, the author says he sees most frequently with A's like her. She has had a remarkable improvement as well, enough to keep her off dairy and meat, her previous favorites.
