“I found the information in Eat Right For Your Type absolutely fascinating.”

- Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

FINALLY, A DIET THAT'S JUST YOUR TYPE!

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 (including dairy), and exercise moderately by swimming or walking

For Type AB:You have most of the benefits and intolerances of Types A and B. Utilize relaxation exercises

From A to O, Eating Right For Your Type is as simple as A, B, C!

Amazon.com Audiobook Review
This abridged audiobook introduces Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo's revolutionary approach to dieting based on the connection between blood type and health. Read by audio pro Polly Adams, D'Adamo's bestseller details how different foods affect specific blood types both positively and negatively. We learn that "pastas made from buckwheat are better tolerated for Type Os," and that type As should eliminate all meat from their diet to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Adams blends an efficient, no-nonsense delivery and warm tones that may remind some of a favorite talk-radio personality. And considering the important subject matter, listeners will appreciate all of these qualities. While some dieters may find the suggestions too progressive--it's recommended that women with a history of breast cancer in their family introduce snails into their diet--this is a beneficial three-hour investment for dieters seeking alternative nutritional plans. (Running time: three hours, two cassettes) --Cate Bick

From AudioFile
A naturopathic physician, Dr. D'Adamo is following in his father's footsteps. His dad tried to verify the connection between blood type and propensity to certain diseases and other health conditions. They propose that there is a certain diet and set of medications that can benefit people of particular blood types. Polly Adams, an odd choice to read a book written by a male, sounds like a radio disc jockey or a voice-over actress. Smooth and polished, with no trace of an accent, she handles the medical terms well. Although not exciting, this is pleasant general listening. A.G.H. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
