In my practice I have found that patients who know and follow their basic ABO blood type diet as described in Eat Right 4 Your Type works very well. However, some individuals may not derive maximum benefit from the Blood Type Diet until they first determine their Secretor Status. Knowing this information then allows for the use of the more specific diet lists included in the book Live Right 4 Your Type. Both books were written by Peter J. D'Adamo.

Insulin Resistance, ‘Man Boobs’, Fatigue and Fear of Diabetes
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Sun, Oct 02, 2011
You have no energy – after work you come home and you’re spent – nothing is getting done around the house. Getting to sleep is easy, but you wake up multiple times at night, never getting the quality of sleep that might help you feel better. When the alarm goes off, the thought of getting up in the morning gives you angst because you wonder when it will ever get better.

Dr. Johnson, How Do I Stick With My Health Restoring Diet?
Posted by Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson, DC on Sun, May 15, 2011
This question is asked of me all the time. My first thought is to say, "just do it", but I usually refrain because I understand the frustration and the yearning to eat what ever you want - hey, I'm human too.
