An excellent resourse for living better, July 28, 2004
This review is from: Diabetes: Fight It with the Blood Type Diet (Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's Eat Right 4 Your Type Health Library) (Hardcover)
My family has a history of type 2 diabetes, so I wanted to know how to avoid becoming a diabetic. This book in addition to the other books especially Live Right 4 Your Type have been excellent resources to help me understand my genetic hertitage. I am an O blood type, secretor. I am amazed at how much more energetic and powerful I feel now that I have been utilizing the diet for a year now. I rarely feel fatigued now. I have increased muscle mass. Best of all, now that I have eliminated wheat products, dairy and corn from my diet, I do not have anymore cramping/pain in my colon.
I know that avoiding the 'avoid foods' is difficult. It was for me too; I had been eating a goblet of ice cream every night before going to bed and I loved OREO cookies. As we get older (I'm 40 now) however we need to leave such childish eating behavior behind us if we want to be healthy and this book is the best resource I have read to date. If you are overweight and/or diabetic and you want take eating action to solve your health condition this book is a start. I also would highly recomend working with a doctor who is IjHI (Institute for Human Individuality) Certified. These doctors specialize in treating diabetes and other preventable health conditions with this diet. These doctors are not cheap but worth every penny if you value your health. Doctors not certified are simply unaware of treatments that can solve someones diabetic condition, so they prescribe what they know short term solutions (drugs).
I love being in control of my health, my kids do too. It's not easy or cheap, but it's worth it. If you solve the problem, you live life with joy; If treat the symptoms only, you live life with agony.

Diabetes by D'Adamo, January 27, 2004
This review is from: Diabetes: Fight It with the Blood Type Diet (Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's Eat Right 4 Your Type Health Library) (Hardcover)
The author disposes of the myth that one size fits all when it comes to managing diabetes. He presents plans for each of the classic blood types. In addition, he recommends reducing stress as a condition precedent to managing the disease optimally. Soy, vegetables, fish oil, broccoli, mushrooms and exercise are presented as important ingredients in the control over diabetes and its related manifestations. If you have tried everything and nothing has worked, then this book will help you to identify strategies for dealing effectively with diabetes. Understand that you must develop effective strategies for managing the diabetes because the disease impacts the nerves, heart and virtually every body function. This book is worth the price because the author has discovered a new and unique dimension to handling the disease; namely, a different strategy for each blood type.

How to Take Control of Your Health/Eat For Your Blood Type, May 20, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Diabetes: Fight It with the Blood Type Diet (Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's Eat Right 4 Your Type Health Library) (Hardcover)
I found this book to be most informative and helpful in the successful management of elevated blood sugar levels, triglycerides and body fat. This book allowed me to eliminate foods from my diet that are triggers for insuline production for my blood type, and allowed me to take control of my diet. This book very matter of factly lists foods that are beneficial to your blood type and those that are harmful. Each food group is broken down into five categories, from "very beneficial" to "avoid" for literally hundreds of foods. As I began to eliminate foods that are in the avoid column, I immediately noticed a difference in my energy level, and overall well being. It was a dramatic change for me, and the side benefit is the loss of eleven pounds in three weeks, better sleep patterns, loss of cravings, and an overall feeling of renewed health. I recommend this book to anyone that has been diagnosed with early stages of Type 2 Diabetes, or is pre-diabetic. Following the recommendations in this book will help you to take control of you health, and create lifestyle changes that will benefit you long into the future.
