Summary: A good book to determine individual dietary guidelines.
Review: After having read and successfully participated in the body type diets prescribed by Dr. Abravanel, I am a believer that not everyone benefits from the same type of foods, or the same type of diets.Dr. Abravanel only determined four body types for women, Dr. Carolyn Mein, the author of this book, goes into much more detail by breaking down body types into 25 different categories! Think of the years of research that went into this book, and the potential to once and for all determine the best type of nutritional support your own body needs. I discovered through this book, that I am a Pineal. My review is 4 stars out of 5 because I found it slightly challenging in determining my type. Initially I thought I was a Lymph, then a Thalamus. Only after I ordered her Body Type Questionnaire off of her website, was I able to determine my absolute type. Others might not have the same level of difficulty. My only criticism is that her questionnaire should have more psychological profile questions in it, and it should be included in the first few chapters of her book. Perhaps for the next edition! I still highly recommend this book.

Summary: Very informative!
Review: I found the book read like a textbook. It was very informative, but once you find out what you are, thats it. I recommend a few people go in together and buy it. We have had a lot of fun at work finding our different types. I had myself convinced I was a Heart, but later after reading all the bios, found that I am definately a Pancreas....not very glamorous.. The profiles are very informative and interesting.. I do wish, in regard to the foods list that it went more in depth with the portions of foods etc. but I guess that is pretty well know anyway. I was pleased with my purchase.

Summary: It is very hard to find your type.
Review: While I found this book very interesting, I thought it was really confusing at the same time. I had a really hard time figuring out my type. The author suggests using "muscle testing" to find your type, but she does not tell you what kinds of tests to use. I tried to have my practitioner test me, but she had no idea what tests to use either. I think it is a really great concept, but it should be easier to "type" yourself.
