Eat Right 4 Your Type Diet

Pros: What I so needed!!!!! Simple, easy.
Cons: If you don't want to, you won't. That's why some fail.

I was over weight and needing help to get myself back on track physically and mentally. After getting married my family friend stopped me in a store and said "try this", "it has changed my life". I thought... what ever... like this would work. I would be ...

Pros: Best book on healthy eating I've ever read
Cons: You may have to give up some favorite foods but the results are amazing

I had suffered with severe, itchy excema for 2 years. Doctors (internist, dermatologist, specialist at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore) offered me little more than cortizone cream which is really bad for the immune system. I showed my closest friends the...

Pros: Well referenced, one of the rare diets that does more than help you lose weight.
Cons: Hard to cook for members of family with different blood types.

Except that most diet book readers want fast weight loss and not much else. This book/concept is different. You tend to eat with perhaps a greater sensitivity to what you have adapted to, via genetics, etc. In talking to people in my book store who were...

Pros: I felt great and lost excess weight.
Cons: Hard to get used to, difficult for me to give up wheat.

Dr. Peter D'Adamo, the doctor who pioneered this "diet," was my mother physician and I also visited him a few times before his books were released. Not everyone interested in trying this diet will be fortunate enough to sit down with Dr. D'Adamo, but he...

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 book is now a little out of date as a great deal more research has been done,...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: It addresses individuality
Cons: Challenging to cook for a family

I first discovered this book about a year ago. I was browsing at Chapters a local bookstore.I love to spend time there finding out what's new.I had been searching for an answer to my weight problem. I was not convinced that the cookie cutter diets...

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: Works but not overnight!
Cons: Nothing works fast, not even this lifestyle change!

I bought this book about two years after the birth of my two daughters. Before my pregnancy, I weighed 143 lbs, and at 5'9", this was slim enough for me. I am a truck driver so I am muscular (muscle weighs more than fat.).
After my two daughters,...

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: 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: 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: easy to read
Cons: strict following would be tough

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve what they eat, try alternative methods of controlling health conditions, but not for those solely interested in losing weight. I was actually looking for a way to deal with my allergies other than...

Pros: Probably foods you naturally eat
Cons: Won't make you lose significant weight

Ok, first off, I have to say that I think the other reviews were too negative. True, this is a "fad diet," so don't expect the same success as you'd get if you suddenly started eating healthy and excercising. However, the theory behind this...

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: clearer skin, was told I was glowing
Cons: too restrictive, food items had to find

I thought this diet was very restrictive. I did not need to lose weight at the time and was just trying to eat healthier. I did not lose or gain any weight. But did notice however, clearer skin. I also had a very had time finding a lot of the food items,...
