About this audiobook
Noted naturopathic physician Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo introduces a revolutionary new way to eat—and to live. In Eat Right For Your Type, he explains his groundbreaking diet plan based upon blood type. Our blood type is a roadmap to our inner chemistry—and each blood type processes food, handles stress, and fights disease differently. Find out what you should be eating, and how you should be exercising in accord with your own type. For instance,
For Type O: Focus on higher protein, eliminate grains, and perform energetic aerobic exercise
For Type A: Go vegetarian, exercise more mildly, and ease tension through meditation
For Type B: Vary your diet with a diversity of food groups, and exercise moderately
For Type AB: You have most of the benefits and intolerances of Types A and B
From A to O, Eating Right For Your Type is as simple as A, B, C!

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a wealth of information about blood types and their influence on food choices. It is recommended for anyone interested in looking at the human body from a different perspective. However, there is a negative review that calls the book garbage for basing eating habits on blood type. Overall, the book is interesting, clearly-written, and easily-digested, and many readers continue to go back to it for health perspective and behavior integration.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have both the hardback and kindle versions of this cookbook. I prefer the hardback, as it is easier to track the recipes. I'm not absolutely sure I believe your blood type designates all your eating habits, but I am 20 pounds lighter and have lost quite a few inches since incorporating the diet into my life. I don't follow it exact, but the longer I eat following it, the easier it is. My husband has lupus and following the diet suggestions for him has resulted in minimizing some of his symptons. Plenty of meal ideas and some really fun replacements for ingredients.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It helped me understand my blood type even better. ?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book which explains - perhaps - why some people thrive on a vegetarian diet, and others on a high-protein one. If the theory is true, the book is a sensible and practical one, with good ideas for increasing health by eating according to blood group. Even if the theory is entirely wrong (as is possible) there are still some good suggestions for general health eating.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Garbage. This is absolute garbage. How can you base eating habits on your blood type?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting, clearly-written and easily-digested book, I enjoyed listening. I recommend to anyone interested in looking at human body from a different perspective
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It’s the second time I’m reading through this book. This time, at least four years into my health and wellness journey, and it’s making a lot more sense in conjunction with a few of the other fundamentals.
Once again, this is one of the books that I continue to go back to throughout the year as I gain more health perspective and can integrate more behaviours into my lifestyle.
I specifically appreciated the vaccine advice, as it most definitely comes into play in today’s world!
I suggest this book to so many of my friends and family. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is mainly covering one of the aspects that determines the right food choices, which is the blood type. I recommend reading it to derive comprehensive information on the functionality of each blood group and its influence on food diet.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Well... I finally finished reading this book only because my library wouldn't let me keep it any longer. I started reading it because I heard a lot of different opinions about Blood Type Diet and wanted to know more about it. While reading this book, I actually tried to avoid foods which are harmful for my blood type. Since I felt pretty healthy before this diet anyways, I did not experience any significant benefits.
This January, a new study came out, which found no scientific evidence for the Blood Type Diet whatsoever, except the fact that diets recommended for different blood types are pretty healthy in general and would benefit a person of any blood type. Anyways, now I am back at eating my regular diet and enjoying tomatoes, avocados, chicken, peanuts, some wheat etc. (all the forbidden pleasures!) in a moderation.
Generally, I liked the idea of the Blood Type Diet and some points made by the author seemed very reasonable. However, in my opinion, the book is quite out dated and lacks hard proof as most of the conclusions are drawn from the observational studies (which are quite subjective) and generalizations (something like having a theory and trying to fit it everywhere) rather than objective scientific evidence. Since I have some scientific background, the book seems a little bit repetitive and some explanations are over simplified, but it might be good for someone who has no scientific background.
All in all, I think the Blood Type Diet theory is not a complete nonsense but I do not agree with the author that EVERYTHING about us is determined by our blood type, and living, eating, and exercising by our blood type is the only way to go. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Yeah, we read this back when it came out, and yeah, we sort of follow it. It's hell, though when one is a Type O and the other a Type A.Packing away now as we declutter the house, preparing to put it on the market.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an interesting take on food choices. It details the foods that one should or should not eat, based on their blood type. D'Adamo believes that our digestion/calorie usage is based on evolution and the dietary choices available as blood types evolved - so, for example, if you're an O blood type, your genetics are 10s of thousands of years old, so your diet should be bases on the food-types that would have been available at the time of O's evolution.It's all very logical. As you read it, it'll make great sense.But... there is no evidence/proof of his hypotheses. He sounds completely sensible (and maybe he is), but there is no body of proof from any other sources that support his conclusions.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Shows how the evolution of Bl. Types A, B and AB from the original human hunter/gatherer blood type O coincided with the agricultural revolution and nomadic migrations of human prehistory. Makes the case for four different diets and exercise regimens based on blood type, showing how the diets can be used to bring about or enhance curative measures taken for common diseases. Clearly written and persuasive.
