Have you tried a number of diets with unsuccessful results? Based on research information from quite a few years ago, William Wolcott convincingly writes of how there is no one diet that fits all. Wolcott believes that following a diet that matches your genetic predisposition will improve digestion, circulation, immunity, energy and mood. The diet does not just measure a single fixed variable such as your blood type or body type. It takes into account many different types of biochemical or metabolic variables, which are subject to continual change over the course of your life. The readers can take and retake a 65-question test then place themselves in one of three categories: protein type, carbohydrate type, or mixed type.

The message the author sends is a good one. We all need to listen to our bodies. After we eat a meal, we need to observe how our body reacts to the food, even hours later. I also believe, like William Wolcott, that the human body can heal itself if given the right raw materials.

I highly recommend this book. Wolcott presents in an easy to read style, refreshing ideas on how we could make food work for and not against us.
