About the author
Ann Louise Gittleman
61 books49 followersDr. Ann Louise was recognized as one of the top ten nutritionists in the country by Self magazine and was the recipient of the American Medical Writers Association award for excellence.
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, Dr. 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 (now in print as Hot Times) and is widely credited as the first to popularize the term “perimenopause” in her New York Times bestseller, Before The Change.
Dr. 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.
Today, she 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 (Dr. Ann Louise’s Edge on Health), Dr. Ann Louise 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. Her latest book, a companion to the bestselling Fat Flush Plan, was released in December 2009. Fat Flush for Life, takes a seasonal approach to burn stubborn body fat all year long, integrating groundbreaking new Fat Flush diets with corresponding fitness and wellness programs.

I read this and companion book last year - I thought both were added. Not showing in my read list so adding them now.

A nostalgic reboot that still hides a few solid habits beneath its dated “detox” shine.
I have a soft spot for The New Fat Flush Cookbook because its first-generation predecessor helped me shed eight wedding-deadline kilos years ago. Back then I followed the phases to the letter; the weight came off, the dress zipped, mission accomplished. But a lifetime blueprint it was not. With age and a dietitian’s guidance I now eat far more flexibly—good food, good mood, no spreadsheets.
Even so, Ann Louise Gittleman’s updated collection isn’t mere diet-era kitsch. Scattered among the rigid “flush” talk are practices nutrition research continues to back: cold-pressed flaxseed oil for omegas, cranberries and other polyphenol all-stars, an un-romantic view of refined wheat, protein first, salt in check, vegetables by the boatload. The two-hundred-plus recipes lean on quick prep and bold herbs; when I want a low-glycemic dinner that doesn’t taste like penance, her turkey–cranberry lettuce wraps or salmon with jalapeño–lime gremolata still deliver.
Where the book shows its age is its dogmatic frame—strict phases, forbidden lists, detox rhetoric that can feel punitive in 2025’s backlash against miracle plans. Anyone with a shaky food relationship should pair it with professional counsel and a healthy side-eye. I now cherry-pick: the fiber-rich smoothies, the herb-heavy marinades, the “carbs are the side dish, not the meal” mantra.
So, is this the ultimate roadmap to lifelong eating? No. It is, however, a handy, decently researched toolkit whose best ideas can slide neatly into keto-ish, Paleo-leaning, or simply vegetable-forward routines if you jettison the extremism. Older, wiser, and no longer radical, I keep it on the shelf as a reminder that small, sensible tweaks—more plants, better fats, less processed grains, avoid sodium—still matter more than any grand purge.
