I have no intention of buying this guy's book,
but according to what I've heard and read
on alt.support.diet, I (as an A+) should be
eating a low fat, vegetarian diet. UGH!

Beyond the fact that I'd only last 1 day
eating strictly vegetarian, I'm now of the
firm belief that it's an unhealthy way to
eat. Also, even though I'm having trouble
losing weight now on low-carb, I was on
Atkins in 1988 and easily lost 50 pounds.
Lots of things have changed between then
and now, but I don't think my blood type
is one of them.

Personally, I tend, right or wrong, to put
Peter D'Adamo into the category of astrology
nuts who try to fit everybody into narrow
"types" based on some nebulous criteria.
