I have wondered about this myself. I am a celiac, and found that I lost a
lot of weight after giving up the gluten containing grains. After reading
D'Adamo's book I also gave up corn and dairy (Im a type O)and my weight
dropped significantly further despite the fact that i was still eating a
lot of rice. Because of my sugar addiction I recently turned to an Atkins
type plan, giving up rice, and my weight has not dropped further, (although
I am quite thin so may not have much left to lose). So I am inclined to
think from my own experience that the gluten grains and corn are the big
baddies for me!
