You may have heard of Dr. Peter D’Adamo; he’s the author of the New York Times best-selling diet book, Eat Right for Your Type, also known as the Blood Type Diet. While his theory is controversial - some nutritionists dismiss his ideas - people who follow the program, including many celebrities like Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr, British songstress Cheryl Cole, and the 40+ star of the TV series, “Cougar Town”, Courtney Cox, all applaud D’Adamo’s blood type based dieting approach.
More than 16 years after the publication of Eat Right for Your Type, Dr. D’Adamo has built quite a reputation in the medical community – he’s published 18 other books on diet and nutrition, teaches at the University of Bridgeport’s College of Naturopathic Medicine, opened two D’Adamo Personalized Nutrition stores (one in Wilton, the other in trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn) and has a thriving nutritional supplement business and clinic on Danbury Road -now he’s introducing four new e-cookbooks to the line-up! D’Adamo teamed up with Ridgefield native, Chef Kristin O’Connor, to create the Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet e-cookbooks. Published in electronic form, the books can be purchased from Amazon and downloaded to any electronic devise through Kindle’s e-reader application or Kindle e-reading devices. Each of the four cookbooks contain more than 150 recipes that feature foods that D’Adamo considers beneficial for people of each of the four blood types (Blood Type A, Blood Type O, Blood Type B, and Blood Type AB).
