The GenoType Diet

Our Reviewer Says ...
Author Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo explains how a host of environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle, dictate how and when your genes express themselves and how to alter your genetic destiny by turning on the good genes and silencing the bad ones. If you don't mind doing the lengthy self-diagnosis or sticking to a diet that restricts a large number of foods, you may want to give this a try. However, it's important you keep in mind that these genotypes read more like updated horoscopes than a sensible and scientific rationale for improving health and wellness.

At a Glance
With the Blood Type Diet book series, D'Adamo started a controversial health craze and proved that when it comes to dieting, one plan does not fit all. In "The GenoType Diet," which has been renamed in soft cover to "Change Your Genetic Destiny," Dr. D'Adamo now states that a host of environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle, will dictate how and when your genes "express themselves" when it comes to losing weight, becoming healthier and boosting your immune system. D'Adamo actually says that with the proper self-diagnostic tools (including your own fingerprints, and your individual jaw angle), you may actually be able to turn on your good genes and shut down the bad ones once and for all. Using family history and blood type, D'Adamo shows you how to map out your genetic makeup to discover which of the six genotype plans is appropriate for you.
