Editorial Review of Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight
New York Times best seller
“I found the information in Eat Right For Your Type absolutely fascinating.”
- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
FINALLY, A DIET THAT'S JUST YOUR TYPE!
Noted naturopathic physician Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo introduces a revolutionary new way to eat - and to live. In Eat Right For Your Type, he explains his groundbreaking diet plan based upon blood type. Our blood type is a roadmap to our inner chemistry - and each blood type processes food, handles stress, and fights disease differently. Find out what you should be eating, and how you should be exercising in accord with your own type. For instance,
For Type O:Focus on higher protein, eliminate grains, and perform energetic aerobic exercise
For Type A:Go vegetarian, exercise more mildly, and ease tension through meditation
For Type B:Vary your diet with a diversity of food groups (including dairy), and exercise moderately by swimming or walking
For Type AB:You have most of the benefits and intolerances of Types A and B. Utilize relaxation exercises
From A to O, Eating Right For Your Type is as simple as A, B, C!

Review Summary: Great Book
Review: Let me first say that you need to read the whole book first. I know a lot of people that are excited to start and they are really dont read all the book. This is the only way that you are going to really the results that your body needs and want. I believe that is why a lot of people call the book a crock. Also please buy the companion book because it is great to take to the grocery store.
A friend of mine that has cancer daughter bought her this book. I am so fortunate that I picked up the book off her coffee table and flip through the pages. The best thing that has ever happen to me and my husband. It meant for us cleaning out our food pantry. I am a O and husband is a B blood type. If you do this change you need to have your family on board. Especially if their is different blood types in your home.
It is expensive at first, because you will have to give away or gradually stop using your avoid foods. We gave away a lot of stuff. My family started right away. I stopped coffee right away which if you know me I was a Starbucks addict. I still have a balance on my card which I will use for soymilk. I had already stop using splenda, boy after I stop their stock will go down(smile)
We are going in our third week and now that we have all our food in the pantry.
What I really like is I am never hungry. Before I started this blood type diet and I dont want to say diet because it is just a change of the way of eating. There is so much food to eat and I promise you will never be hungry. Before I started this process I felt 75% of myself. I am 50+ and now I can say I am 100% of energy in these short weeks. I have lost weight and I am going to start by exercising in a couple of days.
Buy and Read this book, I wish I would have known about this a long time a go.

Review Summary: Taking care of your health
Review: This book attracted my attention as it focused on blood types. I've been following the recommendations for the past six years and it has helped address many of my issues without having to goto a doctor.
I have also recommended this regimen to my husband and sons which they in turn have seen good results.
More over this book now acts as a reference and I consult it many times each week.
And that is why I have also recommended this book to many of my friends and relatives.

Review Summary: What do you have to lose?
Review: Originally I heard about this book from my boyfriend's mother, who is a cancer survivor. I had tried numerous diets over the years, including Atkins, Weight Watchers, Fit for Life, NutriSystem and so on. The diets would usually work and I would lose weight (mind you, I am not even obese, just wanted to shed some excess weight). However, like most people I was tired of diets and fads that made me lose weight, just so I could gain it right back after eating "normal" again. I was much more curious about finding a permanent way of eating that would be beneficial to my health, and of course my waist line. I wanted to find a lifestyle change I could stick to.
Being the naturally curious person that I am I figured I give this book and the "diet" a try. This was about 2 weeks ago.
Originally some of the concepts or avoids were hard for me to fathom. I am NOT the typical type 0 but a B+ and also should not eat anything that contains wheat. Up to then wheat was the main part of my diet!
The more I read the more I realized that a lot of the beneficial or neutral foods are the things I actually like and love already (thank god I can have all the dairy in the world). At first I could not even fathom not eating wheat products. I also cannot have chicken, which I really liked and I am supposed to eat venison, rabbit, lamb and goat/goat cheese, which I really hate. Luckily turkey and beef are neutral and salmon is beneficial, which makes the meat section easier for me.
The findings so far have been astounding though. I have lost 6 lbs, my energy is higher than it has been in years, so are my moods! I feel "happy" and I am not constantly tired. I also don't have issues with indigestion like diarrhea, gas, and heartburn, which I have battled for over 20 years. Also, I do eat a lot, I just don't eat the stuff I am not supposed to eat and I am still dropping weight.
Of course, a lot of the findings here are common sense. We should all avoid fructose corn syrup, processed foods and junk food but there is something to be said about how I feel on this diet. I am honestly considering staying on this plan until I die and I am only 38 years old.
I am not concerned about lack of research. If I do something and it makes me feel great and seems to be beneficial on all levels, why would I need some scientist to validate it? I am also quite amazed at the overwhelming amount of 5 star reviews here! If this would be quackery, I would think the majority of people rating this book would have already discovered so.

Review Summary: This book is GREAT
Review: I was really excited to buy this book because I had heard so much about it from friends and needless to say, I'm so glad I brought it for myself. It's very interesting and so so true. Now I know why I get certain reactions when I eat food that aren't right for my blood type. This book is a must have in my opinion.

Review Summary: I feel great
Review: If your goal is to read a book that will provide you with peer reviewed articles cited, scientific studies referred to, etc. before you try the diet then you should save your money because you will not find these things here. If all you do is read the book, and you want hard science, look elsewhere.
BUT, if you are willing to experiment with your diet based on anecdotal evidence only because you want to feel and look better than you have in years, buy this book.
In the past I have had trouble with weight and also a great deal of trouble with PMS. For years I have tried to find answers to the problem, but nothing ever did the trick. I would try to eat "healthy" foods, whole wheat homemade baked food, light meats like chicken, soy, lentil soups... things that I thought were good for me. What would happen is that I would feel so tired all the time and gain weight. Terrible! The times I gave up and ate red meat were the times I was my thinnest, but I never got rid of the PMS.
Recently my doctor said I should remove yeast from my diet entirely which meant a lot of foods had to be eliminated. Once again I did a lot of cooking - but because my diet was so restrictive I really noticed how certain foods made me feel. Anything with wheat in it made me feel just awful. I mentioned this to my doctor who then asked my blood type... and so I bought this book.
In two days I found my energy levels and mood to be enormously improved. In 4 days the rash I have always had on my upper arms went away and my arms are a smooth as a baby's behind! Overall, my skin is softer and just healthier looking. I sleep deeper and awaken feeling good. My mood is so stable, I am not irritated or blue half the time - I just feel GOOD. My concentration is better, I feel sharper. As to wieght loss, I feel like I am losing but it is only day 7.
Speaking of weight loss, many people speak about this as a diet book and talk about how much they have lost - but that isn't what this book is about. This is a lifestyle change, and I can tell you that if I can feel this good and yet remain my current weight I would still count myself as lucky. This type O will never miss wheat - or the other things I should not eat - and why would I? I do not remember the last time I felt this good. I don't pick up a hammer and start hitting my knee in spite of the pain, and I won't eat a bagel for the same reason.
Can't recommend this book enough - why not try it?
