I recently delved into an article that piqued my interest.

I focused only on the parts relevant to my blood type.

While I'm not entirely sure how scientifically valid this diet is, the underlying reasoning behind why different blood types respond differently to various natural foods seemed logical.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the general principles of consuming more vegetables, maintaining a clean diet, and taking a multivitamin supplement are still supported.

I do appreciate learning that certain things like cauliflower are "poison" for my blood type. Although it's challenging to abide by all the restrictions, I'll have to explore alternatives such as riced broccoli, spaghetti squash, and spiralized zucchini as substitutes for pasta and grains.

I also discovered that my blood type has the lowest risk of developing cancer and actually dying from it.

Since my mom and I share the same blood type, there's some information I can pass on to her as well.

I'll definitely attempt to incorporate the recommended regimen into my diet and exercise routine, but it's sketchy to attribute any weight loss solely to the diet. I believe it's more of a correlation rather than causation.

The most disheartening thing I learned is that my blood type is ideal for losing weight on the keto diet. Ironically, that's the diet that has worked well for my brother and my dad's side of the family. However, putting my body into ketosis is not good for me! Now I'm weighing the potential harm of excessive weight on my body against the risks of prolonged ketosis.

The last time I went on an extreme diet in high school (1100 calories per day with no carbs - my dad had me do it), my mental health completely deteriorated.

I guess this book can be considered a success if it prompts me to have a conversation with my doctor about my health.

Correlation does not mean causation.

I suspect that the transition from a typical diet, such as one that is processed and sugary, to any of those advised for the A/B/AB/O types would lead to improved health in the short term.

However, in the case of predominantly vegetarian or tofu diets, this may only be a short-term gain before long-term deterioration, depending on the person's individual capability to absorb nutrients from those foods.

This book presents a theory on blood types determining diet, which is based on a theory of evolution, but it speaks as if these theories are facts.

This does not sit well with me as a foundation for altering one's entire diet.

Why focus on blood type? It's all a bit like saying hair color or eye color should determine your diet.

I do appreciate that the goal of achieving a diet to aid in the prevention of cancer is admirable.

However, I am not certain that focusing on blood type is the optimum route.

I am type A and would therefore avoid dairy and meat.

Yet, I have inadvertently tried such diets and experienced very uncomfortable hormonal and energy issues.

I suspect this is because my ancestry is most likely Nordic, where the diet is based heavily on game, dairy, oily fish, barley, spelt, and vegetables suited to those climates - foods that I feel my best on.

Tofu definitely wouldn't be on my ancestral menu.

The advice for type A to eat a lot of soy is also dangerous as soy is a phytoestrogen known to disrupt hormonal systems in both men and women.

Overall, I recommend reading the book just to have an overview of this diet.

However, I will not personally be following it, nor will I recommend the actual diet to anyone I know.

A book is truly a remarkable and extremely useful thing. It is like a gateway to countless worlds, ideas, and knowledge. Whether it is a work of fiction that transports us to far-off lands and introduces us to fascinating characters, or a non-fiction book that imparts valuable information and insights on various subjects, books have the power to enrich our lives in countless ways.

We can learn about history, science, art, and much more through the pages of a book. It can expand our vocabulary, improve our critical thinking skills, and激发 our imagination. A good book can also be a source of comfort and relaxation, allowing us to escape from the stresses of daily life and unwind in a world of our own.

In conclusion, a book is not just a physical object, but a treasure trove of wisdom and entertainment. It is a companion that can accompany us on our journey through life, providing us with inspiration, knowledge, and joy.

This is an interesting premise. After reading a dozen or so nutrition books, I find myself in a bit of a quandary as to what constitutes good science, as the information in these books seems to be all over the place. However, I was eager to learn about blood types and gain an understanding of the recommendations for each of the four types: O, A, B, and AB.

The book provides charts for each of the four blood types, clearly indicating which foods to eat and which ones to avoid. But, like most diet books, the science behind the blood type diet is not conclusive, leaving readers to make their own decisions.

I focused more on my own blood type and skimmed through the information on the other types, just to get the general idea and be able to understand the blood type diet for my family members. The beginning chapters offer a little history, followed by detailed chapters on each blood type, including food lists, menus, and recipes. The chapters on blood type and disease, as well as cancer, were particularly interesting. Additionally, the author includes a chapter on common questions and provides answers along with a wealth of resources for further exploration.

Overall, while the science may not be completely settled, this book offers a unique perspective on nutrition based on blood types and provides valuable information for those interested in exploring this area further.

This is not a diet book in the traditional sense.

It is a book that delves into the science of blood types and explores the fascinating connection between your blood type and food, as well as the way our body processes food.

As I delved deeper into the content of this book and started to make changes to my diet based on the provided foods list, I was amazed to find that within just a few days, I began to experience a significant improvement in both my physical and mental well-being.

The knowledge presented in this book is not only eye-opening but also practical and easy to apply.

If you are looking for a new approach to improving your health and understanding the relationship between your body and the food you eat, I highly recommend this book.

It has the potential to transform the way you think about diet and nutrition and lead you to a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I've dipped in and out of this book for a long time.

However, I have never read it cover to cover.

Definitely, it is very interesting.

It makes you think a lot about the food you are eating.

In my experience, it seems to work quite well (at least for me).

However, I did find the explanation for the importance of blood type a bit lacking (the first few chapters).

I still feel it is not quite as simple as there being 4 blood types and 4 ways of eating.

Within each type is further complexity based on your own genetic make up.

So whilst the book is a useful starting point and can probably get you on the right track, I think it requires further experimentation.

And probably working with a naturopathic doctor to really discover what is right for you.

That being said, it's a very interesting idea.

The basis of which I'm quite keen to explore further.

My son's functional medicine doctor highly recommends this author's work as a naturopath. Since I'm really into nutrition (I'm a total nutrition nerd!), I decided to give it a try and read the book.

At first, I was quite skeptical. My wellness philosophy is simply to focus on the most nutrient-dense foods, and I don't like the idea of following a super restrictive diet in the name of health. But after reading the whole book, I think there might be something to the connection between blood type and the foods we eat. Maybe that's why some people do well on a vegetarian diet while others are better off with a carnivore or meat-heavy diet.

I'm not completely convinced yet, but I'm open to the idea. The concept of protein lectins in foods being either compatible or incompatible with certain blood type antigens is really interesting, and I hope to see more studies done on this hypothesis. Apparently, D'Adamo's theory has been disproven in mainstream scientific circles, but I think the study that was supposed to disprove it was lacking. I'm willing to try the diet for a month or two to see if I notice any changes in my energy levels, skin health, blood sugar, and digestion.

The only problem is that my husband and I are both blood type B+, but my eldest child is O+, which means our optimal diets are slightly different. However, the testimonials at the back of the book are very convincing, and our functional medicine doctor said that the book changed her life. So, that's something.

That being said, I only gave "Eat Right 4 Your Type" 4 out of 5 stars because there were whole passages that were copied and pasted in multiple sections, which I thought was lazy. Also, the list of foods in the chapters on different blood types had inconsistent wording. These are minor editing flaws, but they matter to me.

I remember as a kid, watching my parents read this book and they would get all excited about it. However, I've always been quite athletic and in good shape just by listening to my body and following the habits they instilled in me. So, I never thought to pick up their copy.

It was only when I took my kids to the community room to work on puzzles and needed something entertaining that I could also look up from if they needed help. That's when I borrowed it from the library section. To my surprise, I realized that my parents had conditioned me in my childhood to follow this diet. I was shocked by how closely my normal diet and exercise matched Dr. D'Adamo's recommendations.

In my parents' house, we were all Os, and the same is true in my family. So, I didn't bother reading the A, B, and AB sections. But I find the diet he described to be very healthy for us. I only really deviate from it when it comes to dairy (4 - 5 servings a week), wine (4 - 7 servings a week), and brussel sprouts with bacon sprinkled on top (once every other week). Given that I'm very healthy and already follow the diet pretty closely, I'm not planning to change my normal diet. But it will definitely be in the back of my mind when I'm doing our weekly grocery order. It also makes me feel a lot better about the fact that we eat so much red meat.

This book is truly excellent for individuals who have a keen interest in comprehending which specific kinds of foods are most suitable for their particular blood type.

The initial few chapters offer a comprehensive and general overview of the origins of blood types. It delves into the fascinating history and background, providing readers with a solid foundation of knowledge.

Subsequently, the following chapters zero in on the diet that each blood type can derive benefits from. It carefully details the specific foods, nutrients, and eating patterns that are recommended for optimal health based on blood type.

The last few chapters, which deal with disease and ailments, I chose to skip as they are not particularly relevant at this moment. However, it's important to note that this book still offers a great and in-depth guide to dieting in accordance with blood type. It equips readers with the necessary information to make informed decisions about their diet and lifestyle, potentially leading to improved health and well-being.

Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to explore the connection between blood type and diet.

This was indeed a highly interesting read. It was well-structured and presented a convincing argument. However, it also seemed somewhat excessive. Dr. D'Adamo presented a believable case, supported by stated research. I am not disputing his claims in any way, but I do question my own ability to adhere to this diet.

Of course, all of my favorite foods happen to be the ones that are not suitable for my blood type. I wish I could say that I will give this diet a try and report back to you, but I know myself too well. It's a sad but true fact.

This book does lay out all the details for you, making it easy to get started and follow if you have the desire and ambition. For me, the change would be significant, and I am not entirely convinced by the argument that my blood type dictates the way I should eat. If I were more convinced, I might have a better chance of successfully following such a strict regimen.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is just another diet fad, but if you've tried everything else and are looking for something new to try, this could potentially be for you.

A book that opens a new perspective on food for you. Each organism is distinct. Therefore, it is crucial not to generalize diets. Instead, one should choose the diet that adapts to one's blood type. I read only the introduction and about my blood type. I still have to test my diet to be able to say whether it served me or not. However, all the information provided seemed very interesting to me.

This book offers a unique approach to understanding the relationship between our bodies and the food we eat. By considering our blood type, it presents a more personalized way of choosing a diet. I was intrigued by the concept and eager to explore further. Although I haven't yet put the diet into practice, the introduction alone has given me a lot to think about.

I look forward to seeing how this diet will affect my health and well-being. It may be a game-changer in the way I approach nutrition. Whether it works for me or not, I appreciate the new ideas and perspectives that this book has introduced. It has definitely piqued my interest in learning more about the connection between our blood type and our diet.

I was extremely interested to read about this particular topic after a massage therapist enthusiastically raved about the book. It truly made me happy to hear that I am already eating right according to my blood type, which is A. However, I firmly believe that I give the credit to a plant-based diet.

The testimonials in the book state how much better they felt after switching to a vegetarian diet specifically for blood type A. But I can't help but think that had they just adopted a plant-based diet prior to reading this book, they would have felt even better.

Since the other blood types don't apply to me, I simply skipped over those sections. It's quite fascinating to see how our blood type can potentially have an impact on our diet and overall well-being. I'm curious to see if there are any more studies or research that will further support or expand on these ideas.

Overall, this book has definitely piqued my interest and made me more aware of the importance of choosing the right foods based on our individual characteristics.
