There have been several mentions on this forum about the ‘Eat Right for Your Body Type’ book. I was never overly impressed by the theory. The only people I know who have reported good results are those following the ‘Type O’ diet (similar to the healthy hunter-gatherer diet).For those interested, the following article is worth a read;

Here’s an excerpt:
‘Blood type as a factor in deciding what to eat? D’Adamo bases his theories on the assumption that early man had Type O blood, and that the A, B, and AB bloodtypes came long after. He claims that these later bloodtypes are genetically predisposed towards grains and milk products, foods that came in with agriculture and the domestication of animals, while Type Os are natural meat eaters. The evidence is less than convincing. Anthropologists can point to evidence that all four blood types existed back in the hunter/gatherer Paleolithic era,1 a fact that deflates Dr. D’Adamo’s entire theoretical structure.’
