I read part of this book. I got pretty interested in it, but then heard mixed "scientific-ish" reviews so I set it down and never really picked it up again. I basically added some more soy to my diet, but didn't really try out any of the recipes. I need to read "Eat Right 4 Your Type" first.

Not really sure if the whole diet aspect works but figure it cant hurt to eat what your body supposedly uses the most efficiently. Really like that the recipes appear to be fairly easy and few ingredients so they are actually doable at the end of a busy day.Full Review

If you have spent your life jumping from one diet to another, I believe this book will add some healthy knowledge that will help you in your quest to loose weight.Full Review

The writing is quite compelling and I want to believe, but the system doesn't seem to work for me at all.

A good basis for making family meals. Some of the recipes may be a bit weird, but going into uncharted territory and eliminating the Western diet is a bit uncharted.

A Great Book! It takes time to absorb this; but it is worth it for your health. It explains how blood type is connected to our diets.

Fascinating info in this book, but you still have to decide what is right for you. I don't follow or agree with all the guidelines. This is more a collection of recipes than anything. Eat Right 4 Your Type goes into more detail -- the whys and the scientific evidence.

As a matter of fact I have some food intolerances that are the same suggested by d’Adamo as for my blood type. Nonetheless I think that taking any theory with a pinch of salt is essential in life. Just do what it works for the best for you without following it as a matter of death or life. I should be allergic to milk according to medical tests but nothing happens if I eat something with it from time to time…

I found this book interesting. Not sure that I am ready to make the complete commitment to this lifestyle yet, but learned a few things that I am trying to implement. This book would have probably been more helpful if I had read Eat Right For Your Type first.

I thought this book was a lot of fun to read. I like that the author utilized an anthropological basis for his diet theories. I mourn the loss of cheese and ice cream, but as an "A", I suppose that's just my lot in life!

I like the principle, but the application outlined here is absolutely unappealing. None of the recommended menus or recipes looked appetizing in the least. If you're type A, read this book only if you really like tofu and have no idea how to feed yourself.

Yeah, we read this back when it came out, and yeah, we sort of follow it. It's hell, though when one is a Type O and the other a Type A. HAven't used the cookbook in decades, but it's still got all the little colored stickers I put in to mark pages as yours, mine, and outs. Not many ours, though.

Packing away now as we declutter the house, preparing to put it on the market.

Following the "eat right for your type" book by the same author, this is a cook book for the different blood types. Handy with ideas and hints to eat specifically for your blood type. Does also have other helpful information. Great to have for your collection if you are looking to seriously change your diet and for a better healthier living.

I'm experimenting now with the concept of choosing foods based on bloodtype. So far I'm happy with the results. I'm willing to share the Eat Right 4 Your Type with anyone interested.

What would make this book better:

- Scientific documentation (visuals at least...) of how exactly blood agglutinates to specific lectins

- how they discovered which lectins were bad and which were ok

- why some foods are "not tolerated at all" and some are only slightly tolerable

- if the author did not state that the body doesn't "produce" enough iodine. No one's body produces iodine, it's an element!

(recommended by Karin)
The kitchen companion to Eat Right For Your Type, that gives the blood typing information but with the practical application as well. I don’t think it should be followed completely, but I do think it’s worth considering when planning meals and addressing health. The science behind blood types metabolizing food differently seems solid.

This is the food lifestyle I live by. (Plse see my review of Eat Right For Your Type, by the same author.) This book has much of the same info and advice, and therefore it is great, but the recipes I have been able to use are few. Either I've had to find substitutes after not being able to either afford, or locate, some of the ingredients as we live in the Middle East. Some recipes I found to be rather bland, while others took forever to prepare. I use it more therefore for the info in the This is the food lifestyle I live by.

While it supports the authors respect and reverence for food, and the sort of mindfulness that is encouraged in Eat Right 4 Your Type, the recipes in this book take forever to make. Everything I have cooked is unique and delicious, but the prep is always long and complicated, and the cook times so far are never under an hour. Every dish I've made has taken a whole day or evening, especially if I have to do it all myself.

The recipes are pretty good but, eating for blood type doesn't seem to work that well for me.
