Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type

[I Love Bimby!]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone else had tried or had any thoughts on the book 'Eat Right 4 Your Type'?
Cyndi O'Meara recommends it.

I have just brought the book and I'm a sensitive type A - and everything in his book seems to add up right through to childhood sensitivities.  Even the excercise, stress and personality types seem to sum me up too - I was blown away!

Anyway, I'm hoping to make some changes to my diet to be more inline with what the author suggests (sorry can't put my hands on the book to tell you who he is...).

Looking forward to your feedback.

Have finally found the book    It's a wonder the way my house is completely upside down at the moment - I need a visit from some of those inspiring ladies who have listed all that they have got done in a day on one of the other posts ... I can offer wine...??
The author is Dr Peter J. D'Adamo.

Once this Wangaratta cooking class is done, I can sit back relax and read a bit more

As a doctor I have to say there is no scientific evidence to back any of these claims

Thanks Paul 
My Grandfather is a recently retired GP too - just the type of topic to get him started

Unfortunately it's red rag to a bull to us medical types!  Just don't like to see people being misled or wasting their hard earned money.  Much better to eat healthily and sensibly!

I agree and that is why I am the proud owner of a TMX      Just wanted to get rid of all those damn nasties our foods have in them these days  for the sake of my families health. I'm not one that takes up every latest fad.  In the last couple of months my body has become more and more sensitive to certain foods (in particular dairy, but also soy at times plus other things) so am interested in learning how our bodies interact with different food types etc.  Stress has a large factor to play in there too.

Although not scientifically proven - XH was a Type O and myself and A - when reading about the two groups it was striking the similarities between XH and I and the pre-dispositions of the blood types.  Between foods we preferred, ways we deal with stress and excercise!  Certainly not saying it's gospel, however (talking for myself only) i have been astounded by the similarities it draws with my own experience.

There will always be something to suprise us I'm sure.  At the GP's clinic where my mother works there is a GP that also practices Acupunture and his wife is a reflexologist...

I looked up my blood type when I read Cyndi's chapter on it, just to see.  I was well unconvinced when I read it.  But I have to admit that what she said about my blood type and my actual sensitivities to food did match up.  Who knows?  I'm vaguely following the guidelines as 'there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in (our) philosophy', and on the surface it appears to be correct, however whacky.  So I'll give it a whirl so long as it doesn't interfere with eating good food.  ie It has to taste good, and it needs to be a healthy, balanced diet.

I've got an open mind guys, I'm just trained to require evidence!  I totally agree about nasties in food.  Bread is the perfect example.

Know what you mean, Paul

Only heard about the blood type diet for the first from a customer last weekend.
Got to say that when i heard about it i was a bit skeptic as they were telling me that as an O type i should be eating lots of meat.
I am completely the opposite! I could quite easily be vegetarian - i dont enjoy eating red meat but force feed myself cos i need the iron.
Havent read the book but it does sound like an interesting read!

Thanks I-L-B - I need to check my blood type!!  I have seen some of the info and must say that even tho' I am a scientificaly minded person I cn see that there may be some basis - if there really is evidence that the hunter-gatherers, etc really did have blood types genetically distinct.  Keep an open mind, never say never and always avoid always.  It may help explain why my XW and I never enjoyed the same foods 

[Paul]

Problem is the ABO blood group is only one type.  Rh is another.  There are hundreds of others, we all have them.  These are just the commonly known ones.  They're just genetic markers on red blood cells.  I still have problems linking that to what we eat!  And it troubles me people make money from this.  Maybe though, there's genetic reasons why we don;t get along with ex spouses - I can believe that!

LOL - maybe you should write a book !!!!!!!  Maybe do a TV program  based on genetics and relationships - LOL - if you don't I am sure somebody will one day.   We all need a quick fix.
