5.0 out of 5 stars Khader proves it again!, July 25, 2000

By 

Arnold V. Strong - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Food Combining/Blood Type Diet Solution: A Personalized Diet Plan and Cookbook for Each Blood Type (Paperback)

Dina Khader's first published book is a long-awaited gem. Her earlier work crafting the recipes for Peter D'Adamo's now-classic "Eat Right 4 Your Type" has evolved as her experience and precision have grown. This work is a must read for those desiring a comfortable change to their diets with radically effective results. Khader's delicious recipes and compelling writing will satisfy the most doubtful critic. Following her suggestions, I have greatly improved my circulation and lost several minor ailments. This contribution to the field of nutrition literature is an important launching point for an increasingly important voice in the field. Read this book, apply its lessons and feel good again.

3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD RECIPES, GREAT CONCEPT, February 8, 2002

This review is from: The Food Combining/Blood Type Diet Solution: A Personalized Diet Plan and Cookbook for Each Blood Type (Paperback)

The strong points of this book are the concept of blood type and diet, and the nutritious recipes. Whether one is trying to lose or maintain weight, or simply choosing their foods more carefully because they are health conscious, the book is beneficial. This book, like Dr. Peter D'Adamo's "Eat Right" series is based on the concept of eating right for your blood type.

The downside of the book is that I found some parts contradictory and the book just did not come together as anticipated. The reader may be confused by some of the combination of foods. Overall, it is a book worth reading because the concept of blood type and diet is sound; however, my preference on the topic of blood type and diet is still Dr. D'Adamo's books ("Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type, Cook Right 4 Your Blood Type and Live Right 4 Your Blood Type") they are all absolutely superb and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gourmet recipes for the diet conscious, July 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Food Combining/Blood Type Diet Solution: A Personalized Diet Plan and Cookbook for Each Blood Type (Paperback)

The principals behind this diet have long been proven with the work of Dr. D'Adamo and others. For the first time, however, a series of recipes have been collected that allows the serious "foodie" to enjoy gourmet meals that are properly combined and delicious. I highly recommend the book.
