Your Body Knows Best

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 f rom 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 po ssibly work for everybody. While the different-diets-for-different-bodies i dea doesn't break new ground, Gittleman's proposition that an individual's heritage, blood type and metabolism combine to create unique nutritional re quirements will sound right to many readers. Mapping out dietary guidelines for each blood type and for metabolic "slow burners" and "fast burners," G ittleman gives a particularly stringent list of general "no-nos" for everyo ne (refined sugars, processed carbohydrates, trans fats like margarine). In -depth chapters on carbohydrates, fats, proteins, exercise and medical cond itions brought on by nutritional deficiencies add substance to this volume.
