Decades before the Paleo, Ketogenic and Vegan diet trends, Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D. was the first to proclaim that obesity and diabetes were caused by eating a diet with too little good fats, and too much of the wrong kind of carbohydrate. She wrote about this in her first book, the bestselling Beyond Pritikin (1988).
She was also the first nutritionist to write about the perils of gluten and discuss the blood type theory in 1997, stating that one diet may not be right for every body in Your Body Knows Best
She then revolutionized dieting in the first edition of The Fat Flush Plan, which became an international best seller, and has just released her updated The New Fat Flush Plan
She has fearlessly stood on the front lines of diet and detox, the environment, and women’s health. Self Magazine called her one of the Top Ten Notable Nutritionists in the United States.
