Eat Right 4 Your Type: Fully Revised with 10-day Jump-Start Plan

I love this book! Where has it been for 40 years of my life? I heard about this diet and life style change back in the late 1990’s, I recall an interview on TV with a famous Friends sitcom actress from American, but it was hard back in those days to find any info on the diet- we didn’t have Amazon back then ;) The way this book explains the science is fantastic and easy to follow. Learning about the human species blood groups is fascinating! It has an entire section on my Blood Type A diet, what exercises my blood type likes best, supplements, meals plans and a 10day kick start plan- and this is for all blood groups! It has case studies on patients who have used the diet to help them with a multitude of illnesses. There is even references on specific things that the blood groups should look out for and help improve if you have symptoms. I’ve been following the Type A diet since Jan 2022 and I feel great. The weight is dropping off me as I type this review. I feel healthier, no more feeling bloated, my skin looks better and I don’t miss red meat or dairy at all as I can eat certain fish, chicken and goats cheese (feta, halloumi), but I am now for the first time in my life predominately vegetarian/vegan. Lucky I live in 2022 where variety of food is so more readily available! My husband is Type O and also started in Jan. He has suffered for years with IBS, bloating and fatigue and now loves this new life style change. He eats plenty of red meat, has stopped eating wheat and dairy which has hugely improved his IBS and tiredness where no other medical prescriptions could. The weight has dropped off him and what’s even better is neither of us are having to count calories, or to stop eating carbohydrates (which is a ridiculous thing to do- and the book explains why!), or to stop eating nice things. Only the other day I ate a plant based waffle with vegan ice cream, maple syrup and strawberries on top- yum! We also purchased the Eat Right 4 Your Type recipes books which has similar meals (just substitute certain ingredients) which makes meal times easy to manage for our two very different blood type diets. There is also The Blood Type Diet app which the book talks about- we downloaded this as it has the list of all the foods and the ability to create a shopping list. Much easier than walking around the supermarket with the book. The only things I would say is you do sometimes have to check the English wording as everything is written in American English. If you don’t know your blood type group you can also purchase a test kit from Amazon! It’s easy to do the test, takes seconds! I love this book so much I’ve recommended it to all my family and friends and I would highly recommend it - even if all you do is read the contents and decide for yourself if the science is compelling enough to make you change! Happy reading!

Interesting read.

An interesting book - 411 pages. If you are trying to improve your health certainly worth a read but it will take discipline to apply but certainly worth experimenting. There is a lot of information but its well set out with menu plans and recipes. I'm following the principles and seeing how I go but I have a complex medical problems so I cannot be 100% sure how effective however there is ONE ingredient (chicken) I had naturally taken out of my diet which is advised not good for me and on a recent scan I didn't have polyps where I have had them before stopping that item so I find that very interesting alone. Cannot prove anything but intriguing and certainly for improved health worth considering.

Haven't really got into it but it is what I want.

Very helpful

I have been following this diet for almost 15 years and it has been life changing in terms of managing my health and well-being. I bought a new copy as my original one went missing when I moved house. The new version has even more information and I continue to enjoy improved health after all the years I have followed this sensible way of living - not a diet to loose weight (although that is a happy side effects of eating the right food for your body), a diet to achieve and maintain better quality health. Everyone should read this book!

This book was recommended to me by a friend whose husband had diabetes, he lost five stones on it - he is Blood Group A, and is fully in control of his diabetes. Being extremely overweight myself I looked at the book with my daughter, neither of us knew our blood group but we both worked out what we thought we should be by what was written in the book, we checked and Bingo we were both right. I am an O, the cave man. I was a tea aholic before starting this way of life and drank gallons of black tea. Treat it like being a diabetic, if you are not allowed tea, wheat, pork etc lik me what the heck there are so many other things that you are allowed. This is a way of life that I wont change. By being careful on what you do eat the weight is dropping off , nearly four stones since January, I had tried every other diet imaginable. You can eat so much and the bonus is on day 3 if you are really, really good you get this energy burst. I am full of energy, I thought that my tiredness was due to the excess weight, but it isn't it is due to putting the wrong fuel in, imagine what would happen if you put Diesel in your unleaded Car, it would become sluggish and stop. I could go on and on I feel like an evangelist, but please give it a go at first sight it isnt easy but work at it, you will soon find meals that you enjoy. Michelle

Like the reader at the start I too have been just recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E For me it has been a very, very long journey - 10 years !! The fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, not being able to function generally. At first, my doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with me and I too went under numerous tests for 3 years but to no avail. Then, eventually I was told that I had Hypothyroidism - thank goodness I thought. At last I can do something about it. But 2 & 1/2 years later still nothing much improved. In fact 2 years ago my body completely shut down to the point where I was unable to even get out of bed let alone much else. I'm still struggling to this day. However, a college of my husband lent this book to me and astonishingly I could identify and relate to so many of the symptoms. Whilst I am a vegetarian from birth, I do get cravings for meat. Funnily during both my pregnancies I ate chicken and burgers as the cravings were so very strong !! And yet because of my up bringing I'm not used to eating such food. No doubt that it's probably exactly the type of food that I should eat for my well being. So, I've bought the book. And having been inspired by my husband's college and the other reader too I've decided to follow this book's recommendations. I have also bought the other books in the series and I can't tell you enough how much it makes sense. I will come back and let you know how it's going.
