BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
Have you ever felt that your body's natural wiring is stopping you from obtaining your weight loss goals? Many people share this very common problem. The Genotype Diet calculates the way your body reacts to dieting and then creates a custom plan to counteract your body's natural tendencies. Created by Dr. Peter D'Adamo, this completely custom program will help you resist your body's negative predispositions and drop the pounds.
By taking a few measurements of your body, all outlined in the book, you can determine how your genetic code places you into one of six lifestyle groups. Things like thumbprint, blood type and torso length vs. leg length are all signs of your genetic code.
He says research has found that 70% of your genes are changeable because they are influenced so heavily by your environment. "It's possible, all experts in complete agreement, the single biggest influence environmentally on gene expression is diet. Here we have an entirely new way of understanding how supplements work, an entirely different way of looking at food, and what it's doing with the expression on your genes," said Dr. D'Adamo during an interview with DietsInReview.com.

DIET and NUTRITION

Each person will be categorized per their particular body type, and then given custom meal plans and recipes per that categorization. For instance, a "hunter" will enjoy Grilled Steak with Red Onions and Peas while a "gatherer" will have Asian Vegetable Stir Fry.

+My sister brought her testing kit and measured everyone at Christmas. Well, I am very skeptical. I don't have the resources to buy such expensive foods. Aren't there any foods that are easily available to everyone? Quinoa - cost 4.69 for 1 lb --- that's a lot when feeding a family. I don't know how the average person can afford the foods -- that's my issue with it. I'd love to follow it, but... lack the funds this would require.

posted Nov 2nd, 2008 4:43 amAnd that is exactly what the book The Genotype Diet is about!!! I am a micronutrtionist on GTD and BTD principles in the Netherlands and finally I have the ultimate foodadvice for the types O in my practice!! The 'padded' body of the Gatherer that did not flourish on the speltgrain. The highly sensitive type O that proved to be an Explorer! Peter D'Adamo is so damn right with his views on health, people and digestion! There is no one-size-fits-all diet as all those dietgurus want us to believe! No way! I cannot tolerate red meat as a Type A, Teacher. It gave me stomach aches. Let me eat my plantproteins like tofu, and some turkey and ostrich! Than will my body happy!
This Genotype diet will guarantee longevity and an energylevel to the max!!
My advice to all who read this: Start your Genotype diet and experience (maybe for the first time in your life!) how energetic and happy you can be!! And isn't that what life is about???

I loved the book and really felt it made sense, but am very frustrated that to get the most of my "plan" I now have to pay (in my opinion) a LOT of money to get help with meal plans. I am an Explorer and it does restrict a LOT of things I was used to eating - so called "healthy" foods like salmon, coffee, bananas... all my favs. So, to get help I now have to pay $78 per 13 weeks to get some recipe ideas? Not to mention the expense related to the "random" things I CAN have, like ostrich meat, escargot, lotus root, kudzu... not sure even where to find this stuff! Great book, but at least for the Explorer type, not very easy plan to follow, from a cost and logistics standpoint. Wish I could follow it, not too sure I can, given the rariety of superfoods on my CAN list. Good luck to other "types"!!

I really reccomend this. I did tests on all my family members. It was FUN. All 5 of us are different. I'm the Hunter (yay). Even when you have a doubt , the author explains it to a tee! I was sad to give up some foods but the foods i craved were the foods i was allergic to. just cuz you like them dosent mean your body does. BUY IT! SERIOUSLY! no one is the same. we were born either Hunters, Gatheres, Teachers, Explorers, Warriors, or Nomads just like in early civilization.

Fascinating! There is actually great exercise tips for each genotype. Nice to have some science behind a diet....

This guy knows his stuff. I read the for your type book and it really makes sense.

Anything that's not 1 size fits all sounds like it makes more sense than everyone flocking to the fad diets. We're not all built the same, why would we lose weight hte same?
Earlene
Did you see that video? Nice! Good to hear from the actual doctor.

I just read this book and it makes complete sense. I am a Teacher and heart disease and cancer runs in my family - and I think this may help me to avoid these diseases. I'm going to give it a shot.
