Diet by Your Blood Diet

Do you know your blood type? Well, according to Dr. Peter D'Adamo, creator of the blood type diet, each blood type has a specific type of eating style that is right for them.

Want to know what to eat?

    * Type O people should eat a meat-rich diet.

    * Type A people should eat a diet free of red meat which emphasizes vegetables.

    * Type B people thrive on dairy products.

    * Type AB people should eat a balanced diet.

Dr. D'Adamo and other followers of the Blood Type Diet believe that when you eat in a way that is conducive to your blood type, you will feel healthier and more alive.

Does following this type of diet mean that Type O people should only eat meat products while type B people drink glass after glass of milk? No, that would be unreasonable. Of course you can eat sensibly from all of the food groups, but you should base your meals on the foods that work best for you. A full reading of the book Eat Right for Your Type can help you to determine what foods are recommended or to be avoided.

While it may be true that this diet works from some people, it is widely discredited by much of the medical community. Many doctors say that Dr. D'Adamo's theory is not based on any sound evidence and that the references that he provides do not really support what he says they support.

If someone following the diet achieves weight loss, it is more likely due to the fact that they've begun eating healthier foods or have reduced their overall caloric intake.

Additionally, this diet could be difficult to follow if you are unable to eat the foods recommended for your blood type--for example, a vegetarian who is Type O or someone who is Type B and lactose intolerant. Dr. D'Adamo has very little to say about this besides the fact that he presents one style of eating and if it doesn't work for you, you can easily find another plan.

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle is an ebook written by bodybuilder, personal trainer, and nutritionist Tom Venuto. He claims that the proper way to lose weight is to burn the fat with exercise and feed the muscle with proper food choices.

Most other weight loss books consist of half scientific jargon and half recipes that are compliant with the particular diet. Most people find it a bit confusing to understand the science behind the diet they're following. And if the recipes included in the book don't suit your taste, half the book is useless.

Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle is different. It has over 300 pages of useful, easy to understand information, in downloadable ebook format.

Throughout the book, Venuto explains:

    * The importance of setting goals.

    * Why other diets really fail.

    * How to determine how much you should be eating.

    * Why you should exercise.

    * What to do if your diet or exercise program is not working.

    * How to find what your goal weight should be.

All of this is written in simple, layman's terms so that it is very easy to understand. There are a lot of great little gems in there that'll have you thinking "That's so simple. Why didn't I think of that?"
