Pros: compelling, lots of good information, helpful
Cons: he's written many more books with better information

When I read the health book, Flood Your Body With Oxygen, author Ed McCabe convinced me that I needed to check out Peter D’Adamo’s 1996 book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, which refers to your main blood type: A, B, AB, O. I had heard of ...

Pros: Some very accurate beliefs, complete information with lots of extras thrown in.
Cons: Not realistic, this shouldn't be a diet it should be a dietary change.

Eating healthy sucks. While I appreciate the fact that the more “in tune” to my body I am and the more I pay attention to what passes my lips the more healthy I feel, I’m also a child of convenience and a recovering junk food junkie. I’m currently on...

Pros: Very well written. Tons of info!
Cons: Somewhat unrealistic.

Mother actually owns this book. I have read it and read again and again. I have always been skeptical about this, but I will have to say that when I tried this diet for a year, I did not see any significant weight loss. I did, however, notice that I had...

Pros: Intriguing perspective
Cons: you will drive your friends nuts with your new food taboos

There's been an ongoing food fight over whether a high protein/low carbohydrate or a high carbohydrate/low fat diet promotes health. People have felt awful on one diet and great on another. Some people feel sick when they eat meat, some feel sicker...

Pros: helps you make good diet choices
Cons: somewhat biased toward the naturopathic practices

I am a type 2 diabetic and also have low thyroid. My doctor who is an osteopath suggested that I follow a macrobiotic diet of whole grains and vegetables. My first reaction was to disagree with him. I have found that I cannot handle starch. While sugar...

Pros: TELLS YOU WHAT YOU CAN EAT
Cons: TELLS YOU WHAT YOU CANNOT EAT

There has been book after book published on what you can and can't eat. I saw this book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, and thought well I should try that to. I went out and spent 19.95 on this book and I was very depressed to find that with my type of blood, O,...

Pros: Umm .....
Cons: Buckwheat

Having read the glowing testimonials here and elsewhere for this book I had to get it. It seemed to have worked for so many people that I was hopeful of a real discovery. I'm a Type A and ominously I had read of a few Type A failures: but as I already...

Pros: It does work!
Cons: It does take about 6 weeks to feel benefits and it does require giving up some of your favorites. (There are alternates to these though)

If your looking for a "quick fix" diet this is not the health plan for you. Peter D'Adamo maps out a sensible way to live in easy to read terms in Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type. Detailed information in regard to food and lifestyle are combined...

Pros: Gives the basis of a lifestyle
Cons: Radical changes in eating for most.

Eat Right 4 Your Type.
I read this book several times before I accepted the basic principles of lectins and food types in the counselling of my patients. The introduction of a radical diet based on blood groups was a big step in my practice.
...

Pros: most of the book based on well done scientific research
Cons: some speculation on history of man

If you have any medical problems at all, or if you want to be healthier, feel healthier, you should read this book.

I have suffered from food allergies/intolerances for the past 10 years. I now have 2 children who have food allergies. I've...

Pros: Concise and to the point description
Cons: May be hard to start by yourself
