The GenoType Diet: Change Your Genetic Destiny to live the longest, fullest and healthiest life possible
What's Your GenoType? GenoType 1 The Hunter Tall, thin, and intense, with an overabundance of adrenaline and a fierce, nervous energy that winds down with age, the Hunter was originally the success story of the human species. Vulnerable to systemic burnout when overstressed, the Hunter's modern challenge is to conserve energy for the long haul. GenoType 2 The Gatherer Full-figured, even when not overweight, the Gatherer struggles with body image in a culture where thin is "in." An unsuccessful crash dieter with a host of metabolic challenges, the Gatherer becomes a glowing example of health when properly nourished. GenoType 3 The Teacher Strong, sinewy, and stable, with great chemical synchronicity and stamina, the Teacher is built for longevity--given the right diet and lifestyle. This is the genotype of balance, blessed with a tremendous capacity for growth and fulfillment. GenoType 4 The Explorer Muscular and adventurous, the Explorer is a biological problem solver, with an impressive ability to adapt to environmental changes, and a better than average capacity for gene repair. The Explorer's vulnerability to hormonal imbalances and chemical sensitivities can be overcome with a balanced diet and lifestyle. GenoType 5 The Warrior Long, lean, and healthy in youth, the Warrior is subject to a bodily rebellion in midlife.With the optimal diet and lifestyle, the Warrior can overcome the quick-aging metabolic genes and experience a second, "silver," age of health. GenoType 6 The Nomad A GenoType of extremes, with a great sensitivity to environmental conditions--especially changes in altitude and barometric pressure, the Nomad is vulnerable to neuromuscular and immune problems. Yet a well-conditioned Nomad has the enviable gift of controlling caloric intake and aging gracefully.

Too Restrictive with No Reasons Given "Toxic" Fruits and Vegetables:
I gave this diet one star, because I feel that "What is your Genotype" would probably be a great conversation opening line for a single person in the dating scene. Kind of a new variation of "What's your (Astrological) Sign?". When the person responds .. "Gee, I don't know what my genotype is" the single person says, "Give me your hand so I can take a closer look" .. YES! This is good for the dating scene. ;) However, as far as a diet that I would follow? No, I cannot recommend this diet. The Genotype... more info

The GenoType Diet is an evolution of Eat Right 4 Your Type that integrates genetic identity with nutrition, and creates individualized diets. He separates us into six separate genetic types - Hunter, Gatherer, Teacher, Explorer, Warrior, and Nomad - and describes how to figure out which type we each fall into. Then he prescribes what foods to emphasize and what we... more info
Easier than you might think:
Figuring out your geno type on Dr. D'Adamo's GenoType Diet can be confusing and definately requires a friend to help you with the various measurements. But changing to some of the strange foods and avoiding foods you've eaten all your life turned out to be remarkably easy for me. I found all my cravings disappeared almost immediately. In seven weeks I lost nine pounds without dieting--in fact I ate more than I normally would, and my sinus condition cleared up. It was funny to me that health foods like... more info
Interesting idea:
I have a friend who bought this book and is using it to lose weight. It is actually working for her, as unusual as the idea sounds. I plan to begin it soon.
