 I HAVE SOME MUCH ENERGY NOW . . . May 29, 1998

I tried this diet about 3.5 weeks ago after hearing about it from a friend - right away, my Type O body responded ! By cutting out wheat, especially Italian bread, I immediately lost 5 lbs ! Interestingly enough, my diverticulosis went into almost immediate remission, and I have had only 1 bout with it since, whereas before I would have attacks at least 3X a week - fantastic. I have now lost 13 lbs., am feeling very energetic instead of lethargic at about 4 p.m., and am finding lots of great things to eat. I try to adhere to it about 90 % of the time, and am hoping to lose 25 more lbs. by the Fall of '98. My friends at work are also following it, and are having very good results. . .
Excellent, life-changing, logical, well-written. May 21, 1998

I'm a Type A lupus patient who has been sick (nauseated) almost every day after bkfst for many years. The book said Grape-nuts were a no-no for me as well as bananas. That's what I ate because I thought it was the most healthful. So I tried eating the Type A foods. Wallah, no nausea, and I'm feeling so much better (more energy, less pain) after only 2 wks on this diet. And this morning I stepped on the scales and discovered I'm down 3 lbs. while eating all I want. My physician husband, a Type O, has joined me in this quest to feel better. We were amazed to find that the foods we already knew we were sensitive to were listed under our individual blood types as "avoids!" Bless you, Dr. D'Adamo! I'm ordering a book for my daughter. And I'm making wonderful non-wheat breads, thanks to another Amazon.com book: Easy Bread Making for Special Diets by Nicolette M. Dumke.
I've already given six of these books to friends... April 1, 1998

You did yourself a misservice by not reading more carefully. The basic food lists do not take into consideration additional food allergies. This is emphasised in the book. Additionally, if you ate appropriate to your blood type you may be able to reduce your intollerance.
The premise is, as food broken down into simple sugars enters the blood stream, it reacts with the antigens of your particular blood type. If incompatible, the body will treat the molecules as invaders with a process called agglutination. Your food molecules are stuck together in clumps and eliminated or stored in fat cells. You lose the nutrients you thought you were getting and waste your immune system on the food you eat. Basically it's like getting a bad transfusion every time you eat an incompatible food. I can't tell you how logical this sounds to me. I hope you will reconsider your opinion so that you can have the same rewards that I have received just by changing a few of the foods I eat. Yours truly nan
Has possibilities....difficult to purchasing items in menus March 26, 1998

Menus for various blood types should have been designed in using the ingredients within a month. Just to try ingredients is costly. Some ingredients cannot find.
Great Read! March 23, 1998

I love this book! Finally, a "diet" book that truly is about health and eating and not about depriving oneself and forcing oneself to fit into an eating plan that doesn't fit. I have been dealing with having ovarian cancer for over two years, and eating the foods Dr. D'Adamo recommends for my blood type ("O"), is making me feel much better. Although the Type O diet is not the current wisdom for cancer patients, the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. While I'm not claiming that this will cure my cancer by any means, anything that will help me to feel better is great. Also, for Type Os, the Low Carb Cookbook, available through Amazon, has great recipes for us.
