Discover the remarkable truth…your body knows best.
You’ve tried the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets and failed. You’ve religiously adhered to very low-calorie regimens and watched your weight skyrocket as soon as you resumed former eating habits.

It’s time to tune in to your ultimate diet guru-yourself-because with Your Body Knows Best, you can custom-tailor a diet that meets your body’s special needs!
Ann Louise Gittleman, author of the famed Fat Flush Plan and Fat Flush for Life, shows you how in this groundbreaking, individualized approach to weight loss. Yes, you can reach and sustain your optimal weight and energy level by eating the foods your body needs. Your customized diet is determined by your ancestry and genetic heritage, your blood type, and your metabolism. Your Body Knows Best was the first book to uncover the possibility of the blood type connection to weight gain.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her latest book, nutritionist Gittleman (Beyond Pritikin) asserts that, when it comes to diets, one size does not fit all. With sound logic, data from a number of scientific studies and a wealth of personal experience, the author examines popular eating regimens, including vegetarian, restricted-calorie and low-fat/high carbohydrate, explaining why no single plan can possibly work for everybody. While the different-diets-for-different-bodies idea doesn't break new ground, Gittleman's proposition that an individual's heritage, blood type and metabolism combine to create unique nutritional requirements will sound right to many readers. Mapping out dietary guidelines for each blood type and for metabolic "slow burners" and "fast burners," Gittleman gives a particularly stringent list of general "no-nos" for everyone (refined sugars, processed carbohydrates, trans fats like margarine). In-depth chapters on carbohydrates, fats, proteins, exercise and medical conditions brought on by nutritional deficiencies add substance to this volume.
