Thanks Lola...I had watched the movies but didn't remember this info in them.  But I did see that I had missed part V of the lecture thanks to your link!  

I'm beginnning to think I am an Explorer. Now to just get thinner again.

Quoted from Don

Type O - Hunter, Gatherer, Explorer
Type A - Teacher, Warrier, Explorer
Type B - Nomad, Gatherer, Explorer
Type AB - Nomad, Warrier, Teacher, Explorer

I thought I might possibly be a hunter or nomad, but I guess I'm a nomad.  I'm not remotely fat or remotely muscular, so nomad is a shoe-in. Hooray!

So far I don't have a clue.

I think I was one thing when young...
And another when older...

Is this possible?

I think once you read the book, and do the checking/measuring/etc, it will be clear which genotype you are.

jean, knowing your secretor status will also be important.

after we all get the book and do the measurements its gonna be wild on this board!!!! I'm talkin' wiiiild!!! Cuz  we'll all be tellin ya' what we are.......(sounds fun!)
so for now I'm guessing gatherer, I'm short, but have kinda long legs per torso....(a touch of hunter?)

I am guessing that since Explorers are best described as muscular, that they probably have leg and torso measurements that are proportional.

yup Don.... I got it...but must be honest, I am neither the real explorer, nor the real nomade...I am not caffeinesensitive nor am I prone to accidents .....
I was a natural redhead in my youth and came up darker later....
so hmmm what shall I say....

I know I know. Let me pay off my Christmas bills and get my car taken care off. It needs new tires and those are gonna be an arm and a leg!!
Even though I am not not muscular and am majorly full figured I am almost certain I am an Explorer. My other choice is gatherer and I just don't think that is me.Explorer feels right.

What's up w/ Tirerack?
Do we hunt with new tires on the car, gather up stuff to transport to the teacher. Do we explore new places, fight off old enemies w/ the warrior in the back seat, or just roam around like a nomad to counteract cabin fever?
I'm getting excited about this book, thinking I may be an explorer, altho I am very verbal/auditory & not visual.
I'm a lefty, cannot tolerate caffiene altho most of my family members could/can to some degree. In my older age, I am very sensitive to perfumes(are there more synthetics in them now?).
However, I think I am pretty symmetrical(nobody is perfectly symetrical. Well, by the new year I should be devouring the book & hoping to know what foods to devour more!!
Cheerio,
Mrs "T"     O+ [Hunter, Gatherer, or Explorer!!!!]

Tirerack was so drgnwng1 can get new tires quicker, so she can get the GTD book quicker, I think  

However, Mrs. T, I loved your word cartoon. Reminds me of the Bloody Family, which I miss.

I understood the link was for tires . My mechanic is in charge of my tires I stay out of it. He has never done bad by me. He lives near us and knows the terrain.
I have the book coming I just need money for the secretor test.

Another question.....
How much do the genotypes have to do with personality & compatibility with other genotypes????
I would suspect some from the descriptions, but not a lot.
Am I right??

Getting excited about this gift to myself & excited about sharing the 'lending copy' with friends,
Mrs "T"   O+ (Hunter, Gatherer, or Explorer)

I'm a A nonnie do I have to know if I'm an A1 or A2? Is everyone one or the other or are some of us just plain A's?

Also noticed one can sign up for the new diet. But we need to know our type first to really benifit. Right?

A's will be either A1 or A2. Just knowing you are an A nonnie is good enough for the GTD at this point in time.

thanks.
Plan to order the kit as soon as the link is active.

The web site claims to include a calculator to help you determine your genotype if you do not know it already.

Quoted Text

The GenoType Diet online program will give you all the tools you need (including the exclusive GenoType Calculator) to determine your GenoType.

I have not enrolled yet, because I am still debating whether I can afford it ($260 each year). I also do not need weight loss services which is what the site primarily claims to provide.

Ah, but the Genotype Diet is not primarily a weight loss diet

Even if the website promotes themselves to the world that way, doesn't mean that will be the focus for you.

I think I'll do the initial membership to check it out and then decide to continue from there.  I definitely want to select the correct genotype instead of spending time on the wrong one by accident

260 US Dollars a year? That is VERY expensive.

*The GenoType Diet online program is just $5 a week, billed quarterly (every 13 weeks). Your credit card will be automatically charged $65 at the time of registration and every 13 weeks thereafter. You may cancel at any time and receive a refund for the unused portion of your subscription, other than a minimum 5-week charge of $25, which is nonrefundable.

not too bad, and i need the weightloss help....
I have spent that much on the zone online before and had trouble cancelling, but finally called their phone number and got cancelled after about 5 wks.
I wouldn't mind trying it for about 5 or 6 weeks , whatever the initial segment is....
