Summary: The answer to all my prayers
Comment: When I picked up this book I thought to myself "yeah, right", but reading on I remembered that a few years ago a food allergist had told me to stop eating various foods, that my body didn't like them and was reacting with skin, back and temperament problems. I didn't really believe her, and thought that it was all quackery, but to appease her I did stop wheat, potatoes, corn and several other foods. I did feel better, but soon forgot her message. On reading "Eat right" I found that everything my allergist said I was allergic to, Peter D'Adamo had confirmed when he stipulated the the food for the "o" type blood group. Since completely stopping all forms of wheat, potatoes and dairy products and eating red meat, fish and chicken, my weight loss has been incredible. I eat as much as I like, still drink beer, sleep very well, have fewer head-aches, more energy and generally feel great. People remark on how much slimmer I am and how well I look, good news to me. I've exercised myself to a frazzle in the past to lose weight, got the tendonitis to prove it, done this diet and that, weight always comes back, but I think that this time I'm on a winner, as I'm not dieting, I'm enjoying myself,and I'm really happy. My only complaint is that a lot of the alternative foods are not available, or in most cases even heard of in Australia, I'd like to talk to Peter D'Adamo about that.

Summary: Misleading
Comment: There are two huge problems with D'Adamo's books.
First, he forgot to check scientific data. His whole theory is based on the history of the origin of blood types. He describes in great details the story how everyone was originally O, then 20000 BC type A emerged, then about 15000BC type B appeared. His diet recommendations are based on what were the conditions and diet at the time when some particular blood type appeared.
The only problem is that it's all wrong. Monkeys have the same blood types and hence blood type ABO were not developed in humans, but inherited from our ancestors.
The second problem is that he stresses the "evil" side of your products so emphatically that you may get sick just because you believed him. It's well known that psychogenic sicknesses can be quite real. Simply put, if you believe that you have a cancer hard enough, you may really get one even if there was no real reason for that. Read about people showing symptoms of a burn after touched by cold object under hypnosis and told that it was really hot.
When you reading his book you feel like blood is agglutinating and clogging your arteries right while you are reading because of a piece of chicken you had for a lunch. This is not just unpleasant, this is plain dangerous. So, I'd suggest not even to read this book. If you still has an urge to know for yourself, just look through it in a traditional bookstore first and see if you are ok with it first. The chances are that you won't be.
This applies to all books on the topic of blood type-based diets.

Summary: Are you a Secretor or a Non-secretor?
Comment: These terms may mean nothing to you before you have read this extremely helpful book. But there's a test to take (a saliva test) that will give you the next level of information beyond your Blood Type. Only LIVE RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE gives you the different Secretor diets. For example, a Blood Type B Secretor can eat white potatoes; a Non-Secretor cannot. This is valuable information. Only 15-20% of the population are Non-Secretors, but if you fall into this category, you want to make sure that you have that information before diving headfirst into the diet and expecting it to make a huge difference. You can begin without that knowledge and just by eliminating the AVOID foods for your Blood Type, you do begin to feel better. To feel great, if you are a Non-Secretor, you need LIVE RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE.
