Summary: Forget everything you thought you knew.
Review: Forget everything you thought you knew about "doing the right thing for your body" and read this book. I have struggled with digestive disorders and food battles for the past 20 years. I dreaded eating meals because I never knew how I was going to feel afterwards. (bloated, headache, hungry, sleepy) I thought I was eating healthy with shredded wheat for breakfast and fresh baked pumpernickel/cucumber sandwiches for lunch... the "list of foods to avoid" section of my blood type was invaluable. Two days after eating from my beneficial food list and avoiding the "avoid list",which included shredded wheat and pumpernickel bread! I dropped five pounds, no bloating, nausea and my energy level has soared. if you are having a struggle with nutrition, weight or food issues... you'll be pleased with the contents of this book.

Summary: I am a believer
Review: GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! I have been one of those people who has tried and read every diet plan from soups to nuts but this book is in a league of its own. I felt defeated and thought there was no hope for me to loose those extra 10 pounds by dieting until I started eating by my blood type. One of the best parts about this book is it has soooo many varieties of food for my blood type all laid out. The family meal planning works great because my husband is an O blood and I am an A. Finally I am not wasting my time exercising because now I know what my body type is and am following the 90-day program in the book. This book is like my own personally customized nutrition and exercise manual.

Summary: Good compiliation of information
Review: I have read "Eat Right 4 Your Type" and "Body For Life". For a person who has not read these previously, this book, in a nutshell, takes both these concepts/programs and merges them together (as much as it can be merged) (Perhaps making it a less expensive alternative to the buying two books.) Please keep in mind my rating of three stars only reflects the usefullness of the information to me as I already follow a (very similiar) plan that I compiled as a result of reading the other two books. Mr. Chrisiano does an excellent job of putting the information in an easy and usable format. (So do the other authors) As the book stands alone, it would be more like a 4.5. But I must say that I am somewhat alarmed at the similarities yet the authors of the other books were not referenced. (and they were written first) If you already own, or have read, one or both of the other books mentioned I don't recommend it, any reasonable person would be able to tie the two together and come up with the same concept. If you don't own either of them, go for it. I firmly believe in the concept.

Review: I ordered BLOOD TYPE BODY TYPES and YOU a year ago in March. As a result of this lifestyle change, I have lost 50 lbs. After this dramatic change, my family members, co-workers, and friends began to ask me what did I do? I told them about the book. Unfortunately, they think that it is a diet. I explain to them that it is a LIFESTYLE change not a diet. I can definitely say that I no longer feel sluggish or bloated. Being of an O type I found that the wheat, whey and yeast were contributor to my sudden sinus/allergies. In the beginning it seemed as if there was nothing appealing to the beneficial group. Now it is easy and appetizing. By incorporating excercize according to my body shape, I have achieved the hour-glass shape and a leaner look. I prayed for a change for the rest of my life and God provided it to me. BLOOD TYPES BODY TYPES and YOU was the answer to my prayers.

Summary: Unkind to A blood types
Review: To the staff that wrote this book, one of you said that if "you have type A blood and expect to live to the life expectancy of 75, you're clearly mistaken" was just totally wrong. Can I give you some news? I had a great uncle who was type A and lived to be 91 and George Bush Sr and Jimmy Carter are type A and over 80 now. You could be a little more sensitive.
