Eat Right 4 Your Type Diet

Pros: Very informative book with very interesting information.
Cons: The diet for me was unrealistic.

I will outline the basics. What the book suggests is that all blood types are different and in order to achieve optimum health and maintain the proper weight you should eat a certain way in order to accommodate your bodies needs for your blood type. ...

Pros: Lots of choices between Highly Beneficial and Neutral. Got me off of my plateau.
Cons: Some of my fave foods are in the AVOID area.

Earlier I wrote a review and posted it incorrectly in this category. I wrote more of a review of the book than the actual diet so this will hopefully fix that problem and be more towards the actual diet and it's results etc from my humble ...

Pros: an elegant theory worthy of more medical exploration; book contains interesting explanations; relatives did well
Cons: inventor seems a little greedy; i am irredeemable

I'm writing this more because I feel pretty sure there's something to this diet than because I have directly benefitted from it or been failed by it. I actually received the book by accident in a shipment of other books back in 1997. The...

Pros: This "diet" book contributes to making people mindful of what they put in their mouths
Cons: This book = the epitome of pseudo-science

This book seems appealing at first. The author has a way of making your feel "special." The author also has a way of making your afraid that you've been eating the wrong food for your blood type, and THAT's the cause of ALL of your health related ...

Pros: Well-researched, makes sense, easy to follow, diet in the sense of 'eating plan'
Cons: Should not be categorised with weight-loss diets. This is about healthy eating.

I had mixed feelings about this book until a friend persuaded me to give it a try. In fact it was the later book, 'Live Right 4 your type' that I read first; the 'Eat right..' book is now a little out of date as a great deal more research has been done,...

Pros: Learned lots about my blood type
Cons: Boring, Boring, Boring!

The first time I heard of the "Eat Right 4 Your Type" diet was in the spring of 1998 when I saw a couple who come to town once a year for a meeting. Both the man and the woman were on the heavy side, but not really obese in my opinion.
...

Pros: Raises your awareness to bodily responses to certain foods.
Cons: Alternative food options provided are limited and this can discourage people if they can't figure out that there are many more available!

My father has been a vegetarian for over 25 years now. Although he has not suffered any tremendous health problems, his diet has not alleviated certain afflictions. He started the "eat right for your type diet" and a
couple of weeks into...

Pros: its better than the blow it out your ass diet
Cons: its a scam just like every other diet in the world

Let me break down the current diet hysteria into the few categories they all seem to fit into:

1) Sensible dieting - These are your weight watchers and your Jenny Craig diets where they teach you how to count calories, ignore fat, and most...

Pros: improved health and well-being
Cons: none really

First, let me point out that DIET is a truly misunderstood word. Diet does not mean weight loss. Do you really believe that is why hospitals and or nursing homes, etc. employ Dietitians - to make all their patients or residents lose weight. I don't...

Pros: Absolutely Nothing
Cons: no scientific backing, ridiculous theories, cost more than a dime, dangerous

What did I think of this product? Nothing, there is no way that I would even think of following such rubbish. Did I purchase the Book? NO!
A little bit of time spent studying a biology book, or a human physiology text book, would dismiss...

Pros: Works for some
Cons: Is generally useless

TYPE, SHMYPE, if you have more money than common sense, this diet is for you! There is a new diet fad every few months. Like the rest of them, this diet does not work.

THE DIET

Eat for your type is a diet based upon the premise that...

Pros: None.
Cons: If you're not type O, everything.

I first heard of this diet four years ago at a family Christmas gathering where a formally chunky niece breezed in wearing skin tight clothes and looking as slim as a model. When pressed for details she revealed she had been following the Eat Right For ...

Pros: Worked minimally. Interesting concept. I don't know if it actually worked for food allergies.
Cons: A-diet is too soy-rich. Too restrictive. Cuts out whole food groups.

I was excited that a doctor was paying attention to my cries for help with thyroid weight I had gained. My naturopathic doctor that I decided to see recommended this book and diet instead of doing a food allergies test. She took my blood type and I was ...

Pros: It beats stimulant diets.
Cons: No scientific basis, restrictive, expensive

Welcome to the next fad diet that people are all going to laugh at in a few years. Your blood - what could be more important? It flows through your entire body, carries nutrients, oxygen, water - so why not make everyone believe that blood type is the...

Pros: Interesting Alternative to other diets
Cons: Limited information, too general, hard to follow.

This book is a very hot topic right now. Some say it's the greatest thing since, well, sliced bread, yet, there are others who think it's just another silly, overpriced, under-researched diet book.

I fall into the second category.
