More About the Author
VISIONARY, HEALTH GURU, weight loss/detox expert, and natural foods icon, Ann Louise Gittleman has always been a trendsetter. Highly respected as a health pioneer and award-winning author of 30 books, she revolutionized weight loss in her New York Times bestseller The Fat Flush Plan - and now tackles the hazards of being bombarded 24/7 by electromagnetic pollution in her latest book Zapped. Ann Louise has been recognized as one of the top ten nutritionists in the country by Self and received the American Medical Writers Association award for excellence.
Always ahead of her time, Ann Louise set the pace for new health protocols in the 1990s with four more breakthrough books. She was the first to warn of the environmental hazards of parasites in her classic Guess What Came to Dinner? Parasites and Your Health. In Your Body Knows Best, Ann Louise was the first to discuss the blood type/weight theory and proclaim that one diet may not be right for every body − an idea that is only now becoming mainstream. She was the first to offer natural remedies for menopausal symptoms in Super Nutrition for Menopause and is widely credited as the first to popularize the term "perimenopause" in her New York Times bestseller, Before the Change.
Ann Louise forged new ways of thinking about obesity early on in her career. She was the first to proclaim that obesity was caused by the lack of dietary fats and the wrong kind of carbohydrates in her book Beyond Pritikin, published in 1988. In Beyond Pritikin, she predicted that the fat-free, carb-rich diet was creating weight gain, sugar cravings, fatigue and diabetes.
AWARDS AND PRESS
A savvy and dynamic speaker, Ann Louise has been featured on 20/20, Dr. Phil, The View, Good Morning America, Extra! and The Early Show. In addition, her work has been featured on CNN, PBS, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CBN, Fox News, and the BBC. Her work has been featured in a myriad of national publications ranging from Time and Newsweek to Glamour and The Oprah Magazine. Millions of readers follow her advice through her column in First for Women magazine, and thousands visit her website www.annlouise.com on a daily basis.
ENGAGING HEALTH
Today, Ann Louise continues to dedicate herself to carving out new landmarks in holistic health and healing based on science and ancient healing arts. Through her many books, website, and blog (www.annlouise.com/blog), she offers a "virtual" health support system for men and women that provides educational and self-health assessment services to empower people everywhere to achieve total health. The bestselling author of The Fat Flush Plan has turned her attention to the hazards of the wireless age with her newest release--Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution (HarperOne, 2010).
Praise for Zapped:
"Dr. Gittleman provides a cogent, sobering look at the effects of ever present electromagnetic pollution on our biology and clear, practical advice on how to minimize our exposures and our risk. Please follow her advice, it may save your life and give you renewed energy."
--Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times best-selling author of The UltraMind Solution and How to Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First
"Zapped is an empowering guide that will help you transform your body and your home into a sanctuary of health and healing."
--John Gray, PhD, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
"The book caught my attention immediately because I've been reading about, studying, and writing about the effects of electropollution for several years. This book just adds further confirmation that we live in an 'electropolluted' world, and we need to protect ourselves the best we can... You can learn many, many more simple and more in-depth tips on how to protect yourself by reading Zapped."
--Susan Lark, MD, author of Hormone Revolution and editor of Women's Wellness Today
"You are being 'Zapped' whether you know it or not! When artificial and manmade frequencies from cellphones, wireless computers, and cordless phones constantly bombard your system, they alter the body's natural electromagnetic balance and affect DNA, organs, and glands. Packed with scientific backup, find out what you can do about electropollution--a public health concern more insidious than cigarettes, asbestos, and HRT combined. The life you save may be your own--and your loved ones."
--Hyla Cass, MD, author of 8 Weeks to Vibrant Health and former Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine

I lost 50! pounds in 6 months on Beyond Pritikin,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Pritikin: A Total Nutrition Program For Rapid Weight Loss, Longevity, & Good Health (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read every diet book out there. When I found the ivillage site and started reading the Fat Flush Board, I figured the Fat Flush Diet must be creating some pretty dramatic results. I bought Gittleman's first book BEYOND PRITIKIN to follow her program exactly and - wow - the Fat Flush started working on the very first day. I did FAT FLUSH for 6 weeks and then went to her other eating program which added in some carbs. I recommend this book to everyone. I am not hungry and have no cravings but best of all I have absolutely no desire to go back to my old eating habits.

Great Book About Fats and Weight Control,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond Pritikin: A Total Nutrition Program For Rapid Weight Loss, Longevity, & Good Health (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this book was great..I learned so much about the right kinds of fat and why we are all so overweight in this country. This author has amazing credentials and hands on experience which makes her writing so easy to read. Her Two Week fat Flush is my new diet secret that I will do every three months to get myself on track. I recommend this to every teenager, woman and man who want a timeless book that works no matter what the latest diet fad may be.. Bravo.

This review is from: Beyond Pritikin: A Total Nutrition Program For Rapid Weight Loss, Longevity, & Good Health (Mass Market Paperback)
The diet program in this book is sensational..I not only lost weight but I feel good and all of my friends have noticed the difference. This woman sure knows her stuff and I hope to read the rest of her books some day, too.In the meantime, I am the most svelte I have been in years and plan to stay that way with the Two Week Fat Flush Diet Plan twice a year.
