Lesson One:
Is this diet right for you?
You may have heard about the diet from a
friend or relative, or read about the Blood Type Diet in one of the popular
magazines. Many people try the Blood Type Diet in the hopes of enhancing
their overall health or fighting a particular disease. Many use the diet
as a way of achieving their ideal weight. These are all very good
reasons as over the years many people have used the Blood Type Diet to
accomplish these goals.
"How
do I get started?" is another one of the more
frequently asked questions here, but one that we are always glad to see
because it means more people are on their way to better health.
On many of the webpages and forums you will see the Blood Type
Diet referred to as the 'BTD' or 'ER4YT', an older acronym that stands
for Eat Right 4 Your Type, the name of Dr. D'Adamo's first book. No
matter, both abbreviations stand for the Blood Type Diet.
This tutorial is designed to help you
assemble the elements needed to successfully use the Blood Type Diet as a
tool on your path to better health. Lessons are organized into
convenient 'packets' that allow you to take the Blood Type Diet as far
as you want or need. It will allow you to take full advantage of the
huge amount of material on this website, and direct you to specific

RESOURCE: Blood Type Diet Results
Key Point: The blood type diet is quite effective, as measured by
the large numbers of individuals who have reported their results.
Interestingly roughly 8 out of 10 individuals report a positive result
from following the program, which is especially interesting in light of
the fact that each of the four blood groups have quite different diets.
What does that say about the wisdom of 'one-size-fits-all' diets?
