Customer Reviews

You only need to read a fourth of the book.

One great advantage of a book like this is that you only need to read the fourth section with your blood type. That way, you will not be jealous of the other three-fourths. All kidding aside, the book has way too much depth to synthesize in the few paragraphs of a review. This is an extension of the theory put forward in the work called "Eat Right 4 Your Type". You can start with this book, as it will recap the key points and definitions used. Whether this is like astrology (which has an in-depth ephemeris) or empirical testing (many sighted in the back of the book), Dr. Peter J. D’Amato hit the nail on the head for me. It is spooky. However, many people cannot be just typed in a handful of classes, and the book makes no effort to do so; it just gives passable examples and probable solutions to help you live long and prosper. I just lucked out and got the blood type I wanted to match, so I did not have to change my lifestyle.

Super information for people following a blood type specific eating plan.

This book expands on eating specific for blood type by providing more information to us on other aspects of how our blood type affects other aspects of our lives, and provides guidance. I and my family are feeling better since we started eating and being aware of other aspects of our lives that our blood type affects. All his books and products, that we have tried so far have been very good.

I got a lot of benefit from Dr. D'Adamo's books

This book is a welcome addition to the original Eat Right For Your Type (ER4YT.) I am so used to ER4YT method, where you select foods based on your blood type) that it is almost second nature to me.Now Dr. D'Adamo adds more information about life style, degenerative diseases, more info on minor blood types and secretor versus non-secretor to fine-tune the ER4YT way of eating. This theory has a lot of proponents in Japan (where they have a similar theory that tries to predict actual behavior from blood type.) I don't think blood type is a solid indicator of behavior, but I definitely feel much, much better if I follow these guidelines. And maybe I will avoid some health problems down the road. It isn't hard to avoid the foods and select from the list of beneficial or neutral foods. Beneficial foods are ones that actively will help your health; neutral foods are ok to eat, but have no special benefits. You can even indulge in the occasional "avoid" food once in a while if you are healthy. If you are ill, however, you can maximize your recovery by sticking to the beneficial and neutral foods. This is not a difficult way of life and this book has done me more good than any other diet or health book I ever read.
