Fabulous!
As one of the worlds biggest skeptics on diets, it took some convincing to get me to give this one a go, but when a colleagues father in law (a doctor) recommended it i decided to try it out and I have been absolutely astounded by it. For years I have struggled with bloating and fatigue and after only a couple of weeks following the Type A plan I had heaps more energy and (amazingly) no more bloating! A couple of months into the plan I also went to an allergist (who did not know I was blood-typing) and the results were unbelievably in line with the blood type A recommendations!

To anyone who has not already given it a go, I will say this: Stick with it! To begin with it looks complicated and nonsensicle at times, but if you persist the rewards are well worthwhile. I also recommend buying one of the menu books for meal ideas (as for the first week i lived off of Ryvitas and soy cheese!) because it can take a while to get used to implementing new foods and completely changing your eating plan.

The only thing i will say against the blood type diet (and this is through no fault of its own) is that it is not cheap and it is not something you can do on and off. for a while when money was tight i slipped back into my old ways and in no time at all was back to being bloated and lethargic, however, personally, i find it can be expensive and, as you cut as many preservatives out as possible, it can also be time consuming as there is a fair amount of food prep and cooking involved.

If you are prepared to integrate it into your life 100% you will get 100% back from it and feel 100% better!

LONG LIVE THE BLOOD TYPE DIET! :o)

A review from a medical student.
I have read the book not only in a research to solve my feeling of constant fatique, but also in a genuine interest to widen my knowlenge in curative diets, the type of knowledge that is quite often overlooked by medical students.

I found the book very interesting with some good scientific explanations. I found myself - after 2 weeks of follwing the diet - being 70% better than I was. I don;t feel my eyes heavy and I feel almost a new person with more energy. Also my work experience has shown to me that the effectiveness of the diet is as high as 90%. I've seen patients who followed the diet and solved problems such as chronic stomach problems, pimbles on their face, arthritis, knee problems, heart problems, weak immune system problems, high blood pressure. Of course it is one thing listening to these things and another observing them. So if you have not been convinced give it a try on yourself - for any problem that you have - and experience the results within 2 weeks..

The theory behind this book is working for me and my family
Four years ago I had a Vega test and it indicated most of the foods on the avoid list in the ER4YT book. So I started ahead of the book. I have lost weight, lost my spots (42 was a bit old for teenage acne!), sorted out my digestive sluggishness and feel 10 years younger. My daughter of 19 was diagnosed with Crohn's disease this year but she is now following the O type blood group diet and is gorgeously healthy and healthily gorgeous - taking no medication at all, just healthy food and a multivitamin/mineral supplement. I feel like an evangelist for this book, D'Adamo certainly has pulled it together. Most mainline medical practitioners make no connection between Crohn's and food. Remarkable blind spot. I have also noticed that only nutritionists seem to be against this book, the whole of the naturopathic movement seems to have embraced the philosophy whole-heartedly. I am currently training to become a naturopath and I feel that D'Adamo is showing us all the way. Only those with old fashioned training and conventional biggotry would find fault with this philosophy. And above all, it works!!
