Eat Right 4 Your Type: Fully Revised with 10-day Jump-Start Plan

I love this book! Where has it been for 40 years of my life? I heard about this diet and life style change back in the late 1990’s, I recall an interview on TV with a famous Friends sitcom actress from American, but it was hard back in those days to find any info on the diet- we didn’t have Amazon back then ;) The way this book explains the science is fantastic and easy to follow. Learning about the human species blood groups is fascinating! It has an entire section on my Blood Type A diet, what exercises my blood type likes best, supplements, meals plans and a 10day kick start plan- and this is for all blood groups! It has case studies on patients who have used the diet to help them with a multitude of illnesses. There is even references on specific things that the blood groups should look out for and help improve if you have symptoms. I’ve been following the Type A diet since Jan 2022 and I feel great. The weight is dropping off me as I type this review. I feel healthier, no more feeling bloated, my skin looks better and I don’t miss red meat or dairy at all as I can eat certain fish, chicken and goats cheese (feta, halloumi), but I am now for the first time in my life predominately vegetarian/vegan. Lucky I live in 2022 where variety of food is so more readily available! My husband is Type O and also started in Jan. He has suffered for years with IBS, bloating and fatigue and now loves this new life style change. He eats plenty of red meat, has stopped eating wheat and dairy which has hugely improved his IBS and tiredness where no other medical prescriptions could. The weight has dropped off him and what’s even better is neither of us are having to count calories, or to stop eating carbohydrates (which is a ridiculous thing to do- and the book explains why!), or to stop eating nice things. Only the other day I ate a plant based waffle with vegan ice cream, maple syrup and strawberries on top- yum! We also purchased the Eat Right 4 Your Type recipes books which has similar meals (just substitute certain ingredients) which makes meal times easy to manage for our two very different blood type diets. There is also The Blood Type Diet app which the book talks about- we downloaded this as it has the list of all the foods and the ability to create a shopping list. Much easier than walking around the supermarket with the book. The only things I would say is you do sometimes have to check the English wording as everything is written in American English. If you don’t know your blood type group you can also purchase a test kit from Amazon! It’s easy to do the test, takes seconds! I love this book so much I’ve recommended it to all my family and friends and I would highly recommend it - even if all you do is read the contents and decide for yourself if the science is compelling enough to make you change! Happy reading!

Everybody should read this very enlightening book, you will be educated beyond your wildest dreams ! So you think you are fit and well ! Read on, and discover how you can enjoy a healthier, happier more fulfilling life. The author and his father have dedicated their lives to bring this information to fruition, for the benefit of all of mankind. It is a fascinating and educating read, and will make you think about the food and drinks we all consume. One step at a time, anybody can do it. A very special book.

Whilst on holiday I borrowed a friend's hardback copy of "Eat Right 4 Your Type" which convinced me to buy my own for longer term consultation and use. I couldn't source the book locally back home and when I viewed at Amazon.com saw and ordered the more affordable paperback version. There are specific sections for each blood group type so the book caters for all family members. Using the book in practice is very straightforward. For ease of use foods are categorised by type e.g. Meats and poultry, vegetables, beverages, spices ... and for clarity separated into "highly beneficial", "neutral" and "avoid". According to the book (as a type A) I should avoid meat (although turkey and chicken can be tolerated), potatoes, tomatoes and beer and I am not suited to strenuous exercise. Giving up red meat and potatoes has been no problem. For fifty years I have enjoyed strenuous exercise and beer is an essential food for hashing. I also lived in Italy for twenty-four years, have a pizza oven so giving up tomato sauce is a stumbling block, some things you don't mess with. On the authors website www.dadamo.com I found an update regarding beer type O and non-secreting type A. That is: an update so maybe other ... I'm A rh negative and good news I can drink beer if I'm non-secreting but I'm not ready to check ... Just in case. I've read a few diet books and this is one of them. I gave 4 out of 5 but 9 out of 10 more realistic. I recommend you to buy this book. Although there are abridged versions of the book available specific to each blood group they don't give the whole story so the full book is essential reading for a complete understanding. I am blood type A so in addition I also ordered "Eat Right 4 Blood Type A" for myself.

I have been following this diet for almost 15 years and it has been life changing in terms of managing my health and well-being. I bought a new copy as my original one went missing when I moved house. The new version has even more information and I continue to enjoy improved health after all the years I have followed this sensible way of living - not a diet to loose weight (although that is a happy side effects of eating the right food for your body), a diet to achieve and maintain better quality health. Everyone should read this book!

I have not done the diet yet so my review isn't objective. However I am passionate about food and health, therefore nutrition and I must say that I recognize a LOT of myself: health and digestive problems in my blood group description, down to even the foods I should avoid. I am now doing a general detox so cannot also do this diet, but I intend to loosely follow the recommendations to see what happens. Where I find it difficult to adhere 100% to the recommendations is, being A blood-type, I should be vegetarian and eat meat rarely and eggs only occasionally. After years of being a vegetarian, I actually have found that I need (organic) chicken and eggs regularly otherwise my weight, energy, health and even mind power decrease, and being already very thin, I cannot risk all this. This is where my main criticism lies: the book centers on weight loss a lot of the time, assuming everybody is fat. I am naturally thin, cannot put on weight but am dreaming of this. So I am wondering to what extent the foods to avoid have striclty a relationship with health or losing excess weight...in which case the main weakness could be that all the diets presented in the book WOULD make you lose weight. Wheat, dairy, potatoes and sugar, once cut out makes life quite lighter! I would love to hear from people who did not have to lose weight, were already interested and knowledgeable about food lifestyle and nutrition, and who tried the diet and have seen their wellbeing and health improve.

This book was recommended to me by a friend whose husband had diabetes, he lost five stones on it - he is Blood Group A, and is fully in control of his diabetes. Being extremely overweight myself I looked at the book with my daughter, neither of us knew our blood group but we both worked out what we thought we should be by what was written in the book, we checked and Bingo we were both right. I am an O, the cave man. I was a tea aholic before starting this way of life and drank gallons of black tea. Treat it like being a diabetic, if you are not allowed tea, wheat, pork etc lik me what the heck there are so many other things that you are allowed. This is a way of life that I wont change. By being careful on what you do eat the weight is dropping off , nearly four stones since January, I had tried every other diet imaginable. You can eat so much and the bonus is on day 3 if you are really, really good you get this energy burst. I am full of energy, I thought that my tiredness was due to the excess weight, but it isn't it is due to putting the wrong fuel in, imagine what would happen if you put Diesel in your unleaded Car, it would become sluggish and stop. I could go on and on I feel like an evangelist, but please give it a go at first sight it isnt easy but work at it, you will soon find meals that you enjoy. Michelle

My sister got me started on eating right for my blood type - my sister is B, my parents are both B's so I figured I must be B as well! A lot of what he says about my blood type is so true...he has obviously done an enormous amount of research over the years. I try and follow it, although not strictly....the book gives all the different ways to eat for all the major blood types A, B, O, AB etc..so you don't have to purchase separate books. It also gives you questions and answers from patients he has dealt with over the years, and some of it I could relate to, which was good. Anyone who wants to lose weight, get rid of symptoms which have arisen due to bad eating habits, I would recommend they read this book...there is also a list of foods for each blood type, so everything you need is right in the book!

Like the reader at the start I too have been just recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E For me it has been a very, very long journey - 10 years !! The fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, not being able to function generally. At first, my doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with me and I too went under numerous tests for 3 years but to no avail. Then, eventually I was told that I had Hypothyroidism - thank goodness I thought. At last I can do something about it. But 2 & 1/2 years later still nothing much improved. In fact 2 years ago my body completely shut down to the point where I was unable to even get out of bed let alone much else. I'm still struggling to this day. However, a college of my husband lent this book to me and astonishingly I could identify and relate to so many of the symptoms. Whilst I am a vegetarian from birth, I do get cravings for meat. Funnily during both my pregnancies I ate chicken and burgers as the cravings were so very strong !! And yet because of my up bringing I'm not used to eating such food. No doubt that it's probably exactly the type of food that I should eat for my well being. So, I've bought the book. And having been inspired by my husband's college and the other reader too I've decided to follow this book's recommendations. I have also bought the other books in the series and I can't tell you enough how much it makes sense. I will come back and let you know how it's going.

This is a book each and everyone should get. The best thing is trying to get the organic products and depending on where one is you might not get all the products that you might want to. There are also products especially fruits you have loved, but you might have to avoid, that is hard, but I think it helps. Thank you for this book

What a marvelous book, packed full of life changing information. If you are battling with to loose weight, maintain a healthy lifestyle or find things that you eat cause discomfort, irration or fatique i would highly recommend giving this a try! My husband managed to loose 25kg and turn his health around within a year of following the blood type diet.

Interesting book - great perspective.

Moi je l'ai lu par curiosité et étrangement ça correspondait à mes goûts vu que je déteste la viande depuis toujours, et bien j'apprends dans ce livre que je suis faite pour être végétarienne, bref ce livre et intéressant une approche très originale, après on y crois ou pas c'est un choix.

Excelente libro. Mi inicio hacia paleo-nutrition. Ideas muy interesantes y una guía nutricional muy practica. Hoy día sigo la filosofía: eat food - Not too much - mostly plants. El libro eat right 4 your type fue el inicio. El libro usado en muy buena condición.
