Rating: Summary: A Complete Crock Review: This book is a total farce. Maybe it has helped some people, but it didn't work for me at all. After taking two blood tests to make sure I was a type A, I tried his recommendations despite my reservations. Dr. D'Adamo says type A's should be mainly vegetarian and eat high carbo/low fat. This type of diet has never worked for me at all. I even joined the blood type email list and followed the suggestion of others who informed me that there are "several types of A's" and one type needs more chicken and fish . After a few days on this diet, I felt like I was going to pass out and I wanted to punch someone else out. I was irritable, crabby, weird, shaky, nervous and weak. This is one of the worst diets I've ever tried, it may have helped some but I suspect their improvement is due to eating better foods in general and getting more exercise. Ironically, I am now doing well on a high protein diet, so why am I not type O?????
Rating: Summary: A wonderful addition to the ER4YT program... Review: This book is an excellent companion to the original "Eat Right 4 Your Type" book by D'Adamo (see my review on that book here on Amazon.) It contains a review of some of the material from the original book, and then branches out to include a ton of recipes. Each recipe specifies whether it is beneficial, neutral, or to be avoided by each blood type, making it easy to plan meals for one or more types. The book has a whole range of recipes, from breads to main dishes, sauces to desserts, salads to beverages. There are 30 day menu plans for each blood type, with suggested meals and snacks. There's even a list in the back of mail order sources for various foods some people may have trouble finding in their areas. All in all this book is a great adjunct to the previous book, and well worth buying for those who follow this health plan. If you're using the first book, don't hesitate to buy this book!
