Description

The individualised diet solution to staying healthy, living longer and achieving your ideal weight. Have diets you've tried in the past failed or even been counter-productive? Are you sure your diet is right for your blood type? This breakthrough programme is the only diet book to reveal the hidden key to successful dieting. Your blood type reflects your internal chemistry and actually determines the way you absorb nutrients. The foods you absorb well and how your body handles stress differ with each blood type and plays a key part in losing weight, avoiding disease and promoting fitness and longevity. Based on that knowledge, Eat Right 4 Your Type provides a set of blood type-specific diets to help you learn how to combine the foods that are right for you, to ensure physical and mental well-being, whilst helping guarantee weight loss.

  • Shows how the evolution of Bl. Types A, B and AB from the original human hunter/gatherer blood type O coincided with the agricultural revolution and nomadic migrations of human prehistory. Makes the case for four different diets and exercise regimens based on blood type, showing how the diets can be used to bring about or enhance curative measures taken for common diseases. Clearly written and persuasive.

  • This is an interesting take on food choices. It details the foods that one should or should not eat, based on their blood type. D'Adamo believes that our digestion/calorie usage is based on evolution and the dietary choices available as blood types evolved - so, for example, if you're an O blood type, your genetics are 10s of thousands of years old, so your diet should be bases on the food-types that would have been available at the time of O's evolution.It's all very logical. As you read it, it'll make great sense.But... there is no evidence/proof of his hypotheses. He sounds completely sensible (and maybe he is), but there is no body of proof from any other sources that support his conclusions.

  • I was intrigued by the idea that your blood type determines your diet type. I read this book before I knew my blood type and was convinced I was an A . Turns out I am an O . I thought it was especially interesting that the O diet was heavy on red meat. I'm a vegetarian and have been for more than half of my life. I wouldn't change my diet to include red meat.
