i’ve noticed that even though i like some of the foods on the avoid list (like olives) that i don’t feel well afterwards and the beneficial onesmake me feel great. when i’m out with friends and they ask me if i want something off of it or ask me about it, i just tell them that it doesn’t agree with me. with my caution in health, (because let’s face it, our food today sux) i’ve mastered my new hobby of label reading. i’ve never heard of D’Adamo, but if it works, stick with it.

I read the book years ago. I’m A +. I happen to also be vegetarian, which I believe he recommends for my blood type. There does seem to be some validity to his info.
I suggest you try it, & based on your own, personal reactions you can decide if you want to stick with it or not.

Don’t be so GULLIBLE. It’s pure bullsh!t.
“While D’Adamo acknowledges that there is no scientific study that demonstrates that his program helps with weight loss or disease prevention, he has posted 52 pages of references on his web site (www.dadamo.com) that he says back up his belief that blood type may be related to disease. But many mainstream nutritionists and medical doctors roundly criticize the program and urge their patients not to follow it. These critics cite the lack of published studies showing that the diet works.
“My initial skepticism of the diet plan was supported by the complete lack of scientific foundation [in D'Adamo's book],” says John McMahon, ND, a naturopathic physician in Wilton, Conn. “I believe he feels he is doing people a favor, but I think he is seriously mistaken.”
Adds John Foreyt, PhD, a weight loss researcher at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston: “I know of no plausible rationale behind the diet.”
Critics also quibble with D’Adamo’s theory that there is an association between certain blood types and specific diseases (which he says can be tempered by eating certain foods). Though this theory has long been talked about and investigated, no conclusions have been reached, says Andrea Wiley, PhD, an associate professor of anthropology at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. It would be a huge leap, she adds, to say with certainty that a person with a specific blood type will probably contract a specific disease — as D’Adamo claims when justifying his diet.”
