I think the "blood type" lifestyle is one that does work. What I can say..... is that I have been "eating right for my type" for three years now; and have maintained my weight and never feel like I am "dieting." While pregnant, I followed this plan about 80% and after I delivered, I followed it 100%. I gained 52lbs. during pregnancy and within 14 weeks, I had lost it all!! I think with any diet, you have to find the one that works best for YOU. My immediate, and most of my extended family, follow this method and it apparently works for all of them, so scientific or not, we are maintaining fabulous results. Who said dieting was an exact science anyway?

This is a handy little reference book so that you don't have to get out the big ER4YT book every time you want to look up a particular type of food. The reason I give it a 4 and not a 5 is because I have found one or two minor differences in this book from his other books. For example, in all of his other books coffee is listed as "Highly Beneficial" for type ABs, but in this one it is listed as "Avoid." That's a big difference, and coffee-drinking is almost a national passtime! If it has changed categories, a little explanation would be helpful. But overall, the book is great and useful, and I wouldn't let one or two little differences deter from buying the book, especially at such a great price.

Good results once you keep to the prescribed highly beneficial foods. I have been on this structured plan for a little over a month and feeling good. Practical, logical approach and have noticed the difference to foods I have ignored knowing that when I eat them, I felt different in some capacity; knew it but ignored it since I loved eating certain foods. When I stay away from them, you can most certainly tell the difference. The variety of foods to choose from is great as you can pick and choose what you like or goes with what you are accustomed to as well as I like trying new things that have been pleasantly good and added to my list.

Excellent little book to have on hand! I even take it grocery shopping with me in case I forget if I can have something or not. Very happy I purchased it.

I wanted this book as a companion to Eat Right 4 Your Type. Unfortunately, I found it confusing as on the same page it tells me a certain food is both beneficial and to avoid it. As a list for foods to eat or avoid, it became highly suspect at that moment.

While I acknowledge the truth that opinions are like a-holes...everyone has one...and I honor the right of free expression, I think some folks don't know the difference between the two. Those who blast something they haven't even tried and claim to be scientists are actually hilarious to me.

What is science? It's considering as many of the variables as possible, forming a hypothesis, carefully testing with an open mind and accurately recording the results. Those who dismiss something they haven't even tried are not scientists, they are little closed-minded robots just spouting what they've been told. Science is discovery and discovery only happens when you are capable of saying "I don't know."

The correlation between blood types and different lifestyles is overwhelming in the anecdotal literature and the true scientists are working on compiling more information for further investigation.

The bottom line is very simple. Just try it with an open mind for a goodly amount of time -- a few months would be great, but most people notice changes in the first few weeks -- really follow the guidelines for your blood type -- at least 80%-90% -- keep a journal recording what you notice (again OPEN MIND!) and THEN form an opinion.

Unless you have the stuff to really conduct your own scientific experiment, in my book, your opinion has NO credence. If you've done a truly open-minded, whole-hearted experiment for yourself and it doesn't work for you, then your opinion has some merit and I'm willing to listen. But then I keep seeing over and over again the stories of those who did their experiment skeptically, even assuming it wouldn't help them, and then being amazed at how much it did help them.

I'm just starting my experiment and I'm complying between 95%-100%, which is very easy to do. So far I have pretty good energy, less allergic stuff and slightly better digestion, but I'm just one week into my experiment, and there are other factors that may be affecting the results. A longer trial will be necessary to get solid results. The jury is still out on the diet so I haven't formed an opinion one way or the other yet.

But, as you can undoubtedly tell, I sure do have an opinion about pseudo-scientists!!!

I had high expectations to learn more about this subject and felt let down - the book was tiny and vague. I am glad I didn't spend alot because after reading it I simply gave it away - I won't be purchasing anymore of this books in the future.

Great book gave it a way as a present to a AB blood type. The person loves the book and has more energy now.

MY GUESS COULD NOT BELIEVE THE SHAPE THE BOOK WAS IN.. AND, YOU SAID IT WAS USED!

I don't think chicken is making my health worse or making me fat, but eh... what do i know?
