Would appreciate your opinion on Dr D'Adamo's book entitled Eat Right for Your Type.

Mahalo.

Never heard of it...but IMO, "your type" is usually a bunch of bunk.

We all have a "type." We are an omnivorous predator species.

Eat like a predator, not like prey.

That's as simple as I can put it.

Dr. D'Adamo modifies diet based upon blood type. Dr. Mercola does "Nutritional Typing" http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/02/26/metabolic-typing-part-three.aspx
Another is Dr. Hauser based on blood pH and Oxidative rate http://www.caringmedical.com/therapies/diettyping.asp

Haven't used it for myself; only aware of these. Would need more investigation to convince me.

Here's a great video metaphor of what the body does when too many carbs come along at once. Blood sugar needs to be tightly regulated. Too much is toxic. Too little and you pass out. When it gets too high, the body has to stuff it anywhere it can to keep blood levels safe, hence increasing body fat.
