This book explains why popular diets such as Atkins or vegan work for some people and not for others. I was gaining weight & losing muscle on a vegan diet, even while drinking green spinach smoothies Green for Life all day! After reading this book and discovering my genotype, now I know that my body also requires lean meats. My digestive problems are gone already and I'm not even following the diet 100% yet. I can meet the requirements at my grocery & health food store without investing in expensive products. I'm happy that by simply adding the healthy foods suggested for my genotype and staying away from the ones that produce harmful "leptins", I'm practicing smart preventive medicine and losing weight.
I'm fairly new to D'adamo's books and concepts. I was recommended to his writings from my naturopath to help heal my chronic stomach issues. I've been following his earliest work "Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type" with amazing success.
I also bought and read his newer Genotype book. This breaks down body and blood types even further for more specialized food lists. I cannot wait to gradually shift into my new diet role as a "teacher soon". Besides weight loss, which is the goal for most "diet" books, I truly feel D'adamo's teachings are wonderful for those like me struggling with seemingly random persistent discomfort that likely stem from the food you are putting into your body.
