“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!

Finally! Relief from stomach distress and inflammation!

Customer Rating:

I was recommended to this book from my naturopath. I have suffered almost three years with chronic stomach distress, inflammation, and all around random stomach aches. I always ate extremely healthy, unprocessed foods, worked out, etc but no doctor ever was able to heal my stomach. After hearing about the diet, I picked up every book D'adamo wrote and started my education. As an "A" type, my new diet was extremely different from the strict, limited high protein diet I lived on. Also, most of my daily staples (tomatoes, yams, cabbage, splenda, bananas, etc) were now on the avoid list. I revamped my eating, introduced new and different grains, veggies, fruits, beans, and occasional dairy into my diet and immediately felt better than ever before. In two weeks, I have no more stomach aches, not that constant nagging feeling. As a side effect, I also lost three pounds in my first two weeks (pretty big deal for someone my size because I only had maybe 5-8 to lose total). I'll update this review as more time passes, but I must say, in just two weeks I'm blown away by this book. I owe my naturopath and Dr. D'adamo a huge thanks! Happily eating "A" and living comfortably!

Worst pseudoscience ever

Customer Rating:

The author is a naturopath who claims he can heal people through diets designed to fit 4 blood types (A, B, 0, AB). If this were the thesis of this book, I would simply accept the author's word for it. Many non-conventional doctors use different media and methods to convey their healing abilities and, while the real nature of their systems baffles scientific analysis, fact is that they can heal. Unfortunately the author reached great success by stitching a delirious "scientific" theory around his thesis. I'll be expressing only few major critiques. 1) The evidence he presents to support his thesis is 100% circumstantial. About a third of the book sounds like this : "John, who was suffering for this and that, came to my office. After putting him on the right diet, his symptoms reverted or regressed". Circumstantial evidence can be used as a starting point but it cannot be used to prove a theory, nonetheless the author sells his theories as if they were the Gospel 2) D'Adamo states that group 0 is the blood group of hunters-gatherers. The group A are the farmers and the group B are the nomads. Well, this is not true. Go in the data bank and look for yourself. As an example, you'll notice that very many hunters-gatherers (Inuit and Ainu among others) have a lower group 0 incidence than peoples who have been farmers for millennia. The only major hunter-gatherer population fitting his scenario is the American Indian (both North and South). Amerindians were bottlenecked during their migration from Kamchatka to Alaska. Obviously, concepts like "genetic drift" are alien to the author. 3) Nowhere in the scientific literature could one find any of his "studies" he claimed were being wrapped up at the time of publication 4) The auhtor's knowledge of the biochemistry of lectins, albeit seemingly sound to most people, is primitive and incomplete. He is not just trying to keep it simple: he dismisses or ignores everything that may hinder his "truth". 5) For D'Adamo's theory to be valid, food lectins must remain functionally intact through the stomach, the intestine and, in many cases, the cooking process. Moreover they should remain invisible to the immune system. This is frankly hard to believe. The author states that lectins do in fact survive digestion (no prove or literature is presented on this) and completely ignores the host immune reaction. Again, I am not questioning that D'Adamo may have the ability to heal people, however the "scientific" foundation on which this entire book is based is beyond weak: it is simply delirious.
