In my opinion ths book is an accompaniment to the main book 'Eat Right for Your Type'. Once you've read and digested the main book and are convinced by the science, this pocket sized supplement has all the information an 'O' type requires at a quick glance. It lists the foods, drinks, vitamins etc you're supposed to avoid or embrace. Ideal for the supermarket. There are a couple of discrepacies from the main book which where proved to be correct after checking with Dr D'Adamo's website. So in conclusion, use this book to compliment 'Eat Right for Your Type' not to replace it.

This book was really great! It is useful for people who want to lose weight, because you get a good motivation: your health! And you can still choose a variety of food that even if you are picky with most of it, you will find what you like... and maybe discover some new! I am really convinced that everybody should pay more attention to what the body communicates when we eat and this book helped me a lot!

I thought that Eat Right 4 Your Type was a breakthrough book for me. Eating that diet caused me to lose weight and feel better. When Live Right 4 Your Type came out, I was even happier because the book contains a lot of information concerning the scientific studies that form the basis of the recommendations.<p>Most of the people I eat with do not have Type O blood, and they set the menus. So unless I pay attention, my Type O needs are unmet. Basically, Type O people need to favor lean animal protein (avoiding pork), avoid dairy products (and take calcium supplements), have very little fat, stay far away from wheat, stop coffee, and watch anything that can make the body more acid.<p>Instinctively, this list made sense to me when I first saw it. The foods that I was supposed to avoid often made me feel ill, or have severe indigestion. But bread . . . oh, how I love bread. Dr. D'Adamo helped me realize that although I feel all right while eating bread, it really louses up my insulin levels so that I end up storing it as fat.<p>I expect that this book will help keep me on the straight and narrow (and away from that whole wheat bread that I love so much). I was recently reminded of the importance of this when I feared that holiday eating would cause me to gain weight. Actually, although I overate with lots of meat, I also skipped bread for several days. My weight actually dropped. Pretty nice, eh!<p>If you know someone who has Type O blood and doesn't eat like this, do them a big favor and introduce them to Live Right 4 Your Type. After they have read and understood that book, this one will serve as a good carry companion.<p>The same ingredients can make nutritious food as fertilizer . . . or create an explosive that will kill. So get the right ingredients for your body, and use them in the right way!
