Proposes that a person's blood type can both influence health and explain individuals' reactions to foods, and presents four different plans, based on blood type, for diet, exercise, and good health.
If you've ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn't work for you... well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it's a fad diet. But it could also be that you're the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D'Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you'll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations.

Six years ago while doing research on... more info
Food As Medicine As a Naturopathic Physician, not only has Dr. D'Adamo's book been extremely helpful to me personally but to my patients that I have seen in my practice for over the past 12 years. Now I understand what the term means:
" food as medicine"-- using the right foods to positively impact our bodies. I personally have experienced feeling my best since following my blood type diet. I am very familiar with using herbs,homeopathy, supplements and natural hormones to help heal the body and I must say that all... more info
this is not based on science. The premise for this book is not based on any science that is accepted as true. As a physician, I can tell you that there is no difference between blood groups as far as diet effectiveness goes. The difference between blood types is so minute, we are talking tiny 6 carbon sugar molecule differences between A,B,O. Take a step back and think about this logically and I think you will realize that is completely fictitious and not worth the paper it is printed on. If you must do a fad diet, pick anything other... more info
