Living life according to your blood type February 9, 2005

The material contained in this book is simply an extension of the ideas presented in the book, "Eat Right 4 Your Type", by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo. Once again, Dr. D'Adamo presents his case as to why our individual genetic make up should be taken into account before we decide on which diet to follow. The doctor extends this idea further by making the case that our genetic make up should also determine how we live our life.
The ideas presented here are fascinating to me. I have spent many hours of my adult life in gyms and fitness centers. And like most fitness enthusiasts, I have always strived to attain that lean, muscular physique that some people seem to have been born with. Spending that much time at those places will teach you that not everyone responds to exercise in the same way. Why should everyone respond to diet the same way?
I have always suspected that I am what is known as a "hard gainer". I have trouble attaining lean muscle mass. That could partly be due to the fact that I have blood type AB. Whereas those with the lean, muscular bodies tend to have blood type O. I would give anything to be able to live on a diet of high protein and low carbohydrate. I cannot stand tofu. Nor can I stand most of the foods indicated for my blood type. I cannot help but wish that I had a different genetic makeup. Unfortunately, we cannot change our genes. But, at least, now we can find ways to make sure that our diet and our lifestyle are compatible with our genetic design.
Let me add that I do not follow the diet prescribed for my blood type. Again, because I simply do not like the foods indicated for my type. I will be miserable if I had to make Tofu and snails a part of my diet. I must have beef and chicken. I do like Turkey and Salmon though. But that is about it for meat on my diet list. And I am one of those who will fell unsatisfied unless meat is included with every meal. However, that is not a valid reason to criticize the book. The observations made by Dr. D'Adamo, from the way my body reacts to certain foods to the general personality profile, are accurate. When I read the profile of the typical AB, I cannot help but feel that I am reading about myself.
I highly recommend this book. You may decide not to follow the diet, especially if you are unfortunate enough to be a type AB or A. But atleast you will have additional information to help you make decisions about how to live. This book should simply serve as another source of information for you decide which type of diet and exercise to follow.
Most important/favorite book I have ever gotten(I have lots) December 6, 2004

So much of what I learned the hard way, and conclusions I came to on my own, were validated in this book. Yes, yes, exactly, so that's why, no one ever believed me about exercise affecting me that way, ...etc. No wonder my mom's food never felt right for me. etc. It explained the why behind it. When I first heard about the blood type stuff(very passingly) I assumed it was wasteless quackery, (sorry Peter if you are reading this--but know there are those who might feel this way and, like I, need rescuing too!), so if you are reading this thinking that, boy did I turn out to be wrong. I originally came upon reading this book through his cancer book I saw at a bookstore. I was researching cancer for my dog, and thought I'd see how blood type could enter into the picture. This led me to his Disease Encyclopedia book. Page after page of his disease encyclopedia identified family members and other people I knew with the afflictions described, invariably with the corresponding blood type. Chills went up my spine. What else did he write?,...and there was this book on the shelf. I even got and returned the book once, and only got it again to show a dying relative, only to lose the receipt(which I'm so glad). I've used and used the book. It has helped me immensely. Honestly, as sappy/corny as it sounds,...no one thing or person has ever changed my life for the better than this author/this book, and I certainly do NOT say that lightly.

I bought this book because I'd read about the blood type diet elsewhere, and was curious. THis is an excellent book, and I've followed D'Adamo's advice for over two years now. He not only tells you which foods you should and shouldn't eat, this book also relates different diseases to blood type. When my son started having ear infections I suspected that he had A or AB blood type, and sure enough, he's AB. My daughters who are type B's, have never had an ear infection.
This is not a weightloss program book but a lifestyle book that will change your life forever if you follow the guidelines. It's not hard. I'm type B, so I'm not supposed to eat chicken, tomatoes, wheat, or corn( there are a lot more but these are the more popular items). I don't crave for them and it's very easy to avoid these food items.
You must read the history on blood types to understand the concept of blood type diet.

Knowing your blood type, and beyond that whether you are a secretor or non-secretor (both tests can be ordered from the book) gives you the valuable information to begin a whole new way of eating and a whole new energy level. This is the book I've been looking for my entire life! I've been following LIVE RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE's guidelines for a few years and have never felt better. I also use Dr. D'Adamo's blood-type-specific vitamins, minerals and herbal preparations. This way of eating makes such logical sense to me that I'm amazed that it hasn't become a way of life for the multitudes! If I could have given it 10 stars, I would have, because that's how much it's changed my life for the better!
