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

4 Stars Eat Right for Your Blood Type
This book is sort of helpful in dieting and eating right. It has some very good tips on eating healthful food
5 Stars Type O diet since 1999 helped save my life
As a Type O it helped me get over terrible digestive illness after being poisoned by NSAIDs. I had severe indigestion with about 140 food allergies. There were only a handful of common foods I could eat. I’d lost much weight and was very sick and weak. I tried the diet and in about one day noticed a tremendous increase in energy and well-being, and a more relaxed digestion. Spelt spaghetti was a big help; it went down much better than the common wheat version.
As the diet strengthened my digestion, I began to lose the allergies, quickly to foods that are good for O’s, slowly to the foods that are bad. Food allergies went to about zero after a few years. I can cheat often now without much trouble.
The highly beneficial O foods like beef (when of high quality) really did give more energy or healing benefits than the merely acceptable foods. Bladderwrack cured an ulcer easily. In our family the chronic illnesses people have do match their blood types such as many O’s with weak colons and thyroids.
The personality descriptions made perfect sense too. I became proficient in guessing peoples’ blood types, even an AB once. Quite a party trick that’s not that hard. I did it sucessfully with a group including a biology PhD who was a skeptic. (She had classic A qualities.) Another time I ate with folks who were denying the blood type diet. It was funny to see all the A’s eating chicken as they should, while the type O had brought in roast beef just for herself. Their bodies knew.
I think if you try it for a couple days, you should tell whether it makes you feel great.
3 Stars NOt sure I have not receive the book yet.
I have not received my order yet/ I ordered on April 8 and now it is May 9 and I have not received it so it would be hard to review it.
I have never waited this long for a purchase from Amazon.com
I do not understand the delay.

4 Stars Great service
The product was in good shape, just as advertised. The product was shipped later than expected, because the wrong book was shipped at first. I am satisfied with the distributor’s service. I would buy from them again.
3 Stars Not Convinced
I’ve seen references to “eating for your blood type” in several articles and books so I wanted to know what they were talking about. After reading, I am not completely convinced of the health benefits but am glad that now I know what the other articles were referring to. I didn’t find this book as clear or easy to follow as I had hoped.
