Summary: God forbid you are a G type!
Comment: I was excited to get this book. I knew people who lost weight using it. Um, as a g type you get to eat nothing! Minimal protein and lot's of fruits and vegies. No seasoning and very little fat. Honestly, I didn't need a book to tell me that was a good idea. Made food way to much of a bummer. I'd rather be my 10 pounds over weight then not be able to enjoy a steak!

Summary: The Absolute Best
Comment: Back in 1984 I purchased this book and began to strictly adhere to the diet for my body type. I stayed on the diet for over 6 months and the results were amazing. I lost the weight only where I needed to WITHOUT exercising and I have kept it off to this day, except while pregnant.
Now, in 2008, I'm wanting to purchase this book once again for my 17 year old daughter (I lent my copy to a friend and never received it back).
I think what I appreciated the most was after determining your body type the book goes on to mention the foods you most crave, like white starchy foods for T-Types, are the ones you should limit the most in your diet.
It's the most sound diet I've ever tried and I even began to enjoy the soup portion of the menu.

Summary: This book gave me back my son!
Comment: My now 7 year old son was born as an underweight 2.2kg premature baby. We tried everything (we thought) to get him to gain weight - breastfed for 3 years, healthy near vegetarian diet with lots of legumes, some fish as well. We couldn't give him cow's milk (even lactose free) as it made him sick. He was tall, but always very very thin and whingy.
Dr Abravanel's body typing book gave me back my son.
It turns out I'm an Adrenal along with my 2 year old son (and we're fit and very strong), but my 7 year old and his father are Thyroid types. Once we worked this out and made some simple changes to the timing and food my husband and 7 year old were eating, the changes have been astounding in both of them! My 7 year old has more energy, he's more cheeky and playful, and he's finally gaining weight - muscle not fat! He even beat me in a running race the other day! And I'm very happy he did.
I'm even losing weight in the right places not the wrong ones - another advantage of using this diet approach. My friends have all started commenting and queuing up to borrow my copy of the book ... so I'm ordering another one right now!
I highly recommend this book - I also use it in my life coaching practice with clients as I have yet to meet a client who didn't need more energy to attain their goals!

Summary: First time in 44 years I fell good with dieting
Comment: It really is true that if you follow the food pyramid for your dominant gland that the foods will eliminate your cravings while dieting. I have done every diet that one could find on this planet, even "lifetime member" at weight watchers but I alwasy was fighting food cravings. A naturopathic physician referred me to this, I was more than skeptical because I am not a "tree hugger" type of person that would consider the source valuable. The first month I was shakey and had a hard time with my cravings, but then on day without any explanation I got energy and did not crave the foods I always ate. The best part is that I am loosing weight in places FIRST that I used to loose LAST (the "problem area") so watching my physic change in this desirable order is so new for a 44 year old like me. I have a college at work who had given up on weight loss, gave this a half hearted try, and has lost near to 100 lbs. Totally amazing.

Summary: Feel Good-Lose Weight
Comment: This is not some fad diet book. The way to eat the foods for your body type throughout the day absolutely WORKS! Everyone in our neighborhood is doing this and everyone would tell you they feel wonderful. There is so much insight in this book about how you eat and what you should change to avoid cravings for the things not good for you. Highly recommend.
