Found book very helpful and informative

I think this diet may be easiest to follow for Type O blood types. I found the diet to be very similar to what I am eating now with a few changes. Actually small changes. I think one of the greatest challenges for the Type O blood types is the need to eat meat and the aversion to it for some during pregnancy. I like many of the recipes and plan to incorporate them into my diet. As with anything and any book you read take what you can from it and use the info that helps you. Each person is different no matter what type blood they may have. I even read a comment from someone regarding pregnancy and eating according to blood types and although Type 0 - while pregnant she was more drawn to the foods of the child she was carrying's blood type. I really think our bodies guide us to what's best and what's most needed. This was a book I borrowed from the library but then wound up getting my own copy.

Infertility info alone worth the purchase

Before I had read this book or been introduced to the "Right For Your Type" diet concept, I followed something very close to what D'Adamo advocates for my type. After 5 years of infertility, we conceived our baby daughter. Now that I have read the author's other books, I am not surprised to see that his recommendations can help infertile couples conceive and help those with recurring miscarriage.

I understand that carnivorous Type As and vegetarian Type Os will struggle with the diet. My encouragement is to read Live Right For Your Type first so that you actually get the science part of this. Then ask the many infertile women who have conceived after following his diet how "nuts" it is.

Contradicts what my nutritionist and doctor advises

The concept of the book is interesting which got me reading in the first place. Although as I hit page 100, I just could not continue. I was to avoid all cheeses that are mostly considered safe for me and baby and that it was OK for me to eat some harmful (unpasteurized) ones. I feel sorry for the pregnant woman and her fetus who follows this ridiculous diet plan and ends up with listeria. There are also some "no no" fish that are listed on the OK list also. But I was absolutely floored when it told me to avoid all meat.. (protein is essential!) This is a crucial time for optimal health so please, just eat healthy and see a doctor or nutritionist who actually knows what they are talking about.
