Reader ReviewsI thought that Eat Right 4 Your Type was a breakthrough book for me. Eating that diet caused me to lose weight and feel better. When Live Right 4 Your Type came out, I was even happier because the book contains a lot of information concerning the scientific studies that form the basis of the recommendations. Most of the people I eat with do not have Type O blood, and they set the menus. So unless I pay attention, my Type O needs are unmet. Basically, Type O people need to favor lean animal protein (avoiding pork), avoid dairy products (and take calcium supplements), have very little fat, stay far away from wheat, stop coffee, and watch anything that can make the body more acid. Instinctively, this list made sense to me when I first saw it. The foods that I was supposed to avoid often made me feel ill, or have severe indigestion. But bread . . . oh, how I love bread. Dr. D'Adamo helped me realize that although I feel all right while eating bread, it really louses up my insulin levels so that I end up storing it as fat. I expect that this book will help keep me on the straight and narrow (and away from that whole what bread that I love so much). I was recently reminded of the importance of this when I feared that New Year's eating would cause me to gain weight. Actually, although I overate with lots of meat, I also skipped bread for several days. My weight actually dropped. Pretty nice, eh! If you know someone who has Type O blood and doesn't eat like this, do them a big favor and introduce them to Live Right 4 Your Type. After they have read and understood that book, this one will serve as a good carry companion. The same ingredients can make nutritious food as fertilizer . . . or create an explosive that will kill. So get the right ingredients for your body, and use them in the right way!
