Forget everything you thought you knew about "doing the right thing for your body" and read this book. I have struggled with digestive disorders and food battles for the past 20 years. I dreaded eating meals because I never knew how I was going to feel afterwards. (bloated, headache, hungry, sleepy) I thought I was eating healthy with shredded wheat for breakfast and fresh baked pumpernickel/cucumber sandwiches for lunch... the "list of foods to avoid" section of my blood type was invaluable. Two days after eating from my beneficial food list and avoiding the "avoid list",which included shredded wheat and pumpernickel bread! I dropped five pounds, no bloating, nausea and my energy level has soared. if you are having a struggle with nutrition, weight or food issues... you'll be pleased with the contents of this book.

GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! I have been one of those people who has tried and read every diet plan from soups to nuts but this book is in a league of its own. I felt defeated and thought there was no hope for me to loose those extra 10 pounds by dieting until I started eating by my blood type. One of the best parts about this book is it has soooo many varieties of food for my blood type all laid out. The family meal planning works great because my husband is an O blood and I am an A. Finally I am not wasting my time exercising because now I know what my body type is and am following the 90-day program in the book. This book is like my own personally customized nutrition and exercise manual.

I have been overweight (about 50 pounds) since the birth of my two sons. I have tried everything! Some things worked but I would always gain it all back and then some....that was Until I found this book!
It is not a strict diet but instead a lifestyle change. It is so much easier than a diet and is something you can do for life and not feel like you are sacrificing.
You eat the foods that "go" with your blood type and don't eat the foods that don't! It is that simple. AND the "Don't Eat" food list is very small compared to what you CAN eat.
It is fabulous. I have been on it for two weeks and have lost 8+ pounds!
GOTTA GET IT!
***UPDATE**** been on it for a month now and have lost 15 pounds and feel fabulous! It will clear up any bowel problems you have (diarhea, constipation, gas, bloating) which is a huge plus.

I could not believe the difference eating for your bloodtype (mine's O) made! I was very sceptical, at first, so I only switched my breakfast - from "healthy" oatmeal every morning, to two scrambled eggs. Within only one week on only that change, I had lost four pounds!!! This is only my second week and I'm starting to change my lunches, now. I can hardly wait to see the results!

I ordered BLOOD TYPE BODY TYPES and YOU a year ago in March. As a result of this lifestyle change, I have lost 50 lbs. After this dramatic change, my family members, co-workers, and friends began to ask me what did I do? I told them about the book. Unfortunately, they think that it is a diet. I explain to them that it is a LIFESTYLE change not a diet. I can definitely say that I no longer feel sluggish or bloated. Being of an O type I found that the wheat, whey and yeast were contributor to my sudden sinus/allergies. In the beginning it seemed as if there was nothing appealing to the beneficial group. Now it is easy and appetizing. By incorporating excercize according to my body shape, I have achieved the hour-glass shape and a leaner look. I prayed for a change for the rest of my life and God provided it to me. BLOOD TYPES BODY TYPES and YOU was the answer to my prayers.

I have read "Eat Right 4 Your Type" and "Body For Life". For a person who has not read these previously, this book, in a nutshell, takes both these concepts/programs and merges them together (as much as it can be merged) (Perhaps making it a less expensive alternative to the buying two books.) Please keep in mind my rating of three stars only reflects the usefullness of the information to me as I already follow a (very similiar) plan that I compiled as a result of reading the other two books. Mr. Chrisiano does an excellent job of putting the information in an easy and usable format. (So do the other authors) As the book stands alone, it would be more like a 4.5. But I must say that I am somewhat alarmed at the similarities yet the authors of the other books were not referenced. (and they were written first) If you already own, or have read, one or both of the other books mentioned I don't recommend it, any reasonable person would be able to tie the two together and come up with the same concept. If you don't own either of them, go for it. I firmly believe in the concept.

I got this book as a gift from my father, who has been successfully utilizing the principles of the book. The information about foods that were good for my blood type just made sense! I know that my body responds a certain way to certain kinds of foods, and this book helped me see why. It also provided the motivation I needed to start thinking healthy instead of just wishing it! I recommend this book to people who aren't looking for another fad diet, but who want to understand their bodies uniqueness and begin to eat and excercise accordingly.

This book was recommended to me and since adopting it's suggestions, I have lost a total of 130 pounds and kept it off. All of my allergies have completely gone away. I am no longer athsmatic. I have a fantastic amount of energy! I no longer have heartburn, constipation or sleep disturbances; things which plagued me all of my life. I would encourage purchasing the book in hardback, as a large section in the back is recipes... I would encourage you to try it- and if it looks dificult, take it a few steps at a time: do what you can do, then adopt stricter practices when you are ready. Everything in the book has been tested scientifically, although not with a human test group. It's not a diet, it's a new way to live! Once you go off of it, all of your problems will come back. I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD EVER FEEL SO FANTASTIC!!!

Because of this method of eating, my husband who suffered a stroke and was on medication, is now feeling better and is off of some of his medicine. He is now able to go back to his supplements that he feels good about taking. Since his stroke, he continues to work out. This method has definitely helped him be more in touch with himself as a whole and his body. He eats like this 100% of the time.

I am not as structured as my husband, but I eat foods by my blood type probably 85-90% of the time and can tell a difference when I don't... and I try harder because of it. I seem to have less fat on my body, even through the holidays with no exercise. Now that I'm eating this food, I don't want other, less healthy foods, like I did before. I don't feel deprived and there are many treats that satisfy me, like dark chocolates with almonds, and soy milk products.

I highly recommend this book and method of eating.

I read the book and very inspired to change my diet and my exercise habits. The book gives you a different perspective on why we humans should eat properly and exercise. It's not just about looking good or feeling good, although those things are great. It's about honoring the temple that God gave you.
