n, I left " Eat Right for your Type " off my Top 10 List mainly for the

reason you suggest. I think it is oversimplifed. In an attempt to round off

square pegs and make the book much more popular and palatable, he has

let some people fall through large cracks. The Weston A.Price Foundation

magazine panned it for that and several other reasons as well.

As it turns out, the author D'Adamo's father D'Adamo was also

an ND and pioneered the theory of blood types causing dfferences that

explain why one diet works does not for everyone. He did not use the ABO

system but devised his own system based on his own selection criterion.

From what I've heard it was very accurate with 20-30 types and would not

have recommended meat eating to people like you who don't naturally like it.

It was a better system, just not one that you can turn into a best selling book.

On the other hand, this book does have very good information it it about fats,

carbs, proteins and other nutrients, I would suggest reading it as yet another

source of good nutritional information but listen to your body as the best

teacher of all.

Hi n,

One thing that the book says is that even though generalities can

easily be made about the blood types, we are still individuals and

we need to listen to our own bodies to determine the right

proportions of each type of food. I wouldn't force myself to eat

more meat than you feel is appropriate for you, and the book says

the same thing. We are a product of a lot of genes in our modern

society, so who knows if you lean toward characteristics of other

blood types or not?

My experience has been that I do well on lots of animal proteins.

I've tried it both ways: with and without.
