It seems like Oprah Winfrey has tried every dieting scheme under the sun. Now she's been linked to a new one, according to this article from The Daily Mail. The GenoType Diet, developed by Dr. Peter D'Adamo, focuses on the belief that weight loss can be achieved by eating for your type -- your GenoType, that is. Genetically, we're all made up differently and following an eating plan specific to our genetic make-ups will help keep us slim.

It sounds complicated but actually, Dr. D'Amano believes there are only six genetic types, so it's somewhat easy to figure out which one you are:

• The Hunter should eat lots of meat and stay away from gluten
  
• The Teacher should have a plant-based diet
  
• The Explorer should have a diet rich in copper
  
• The Gatherer should follow a low-GI diet with lots of protein
  
• The Warrior should stay away from white breads and pasta
  
• The Nomad should get lots of healthy fatty acids
