Dr. 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.

As with Sugar Blues, I wholeheartedly agree that sugar is BAD. Many of the tips in this book were common sense, so I didn't find myself gleaning new ways of eliminating sugar. There were a few interesting recipes, though, that I will try.

This book is well over ten years old but still has a lot of good information in it. A fairly quick and easy book to read.

Lots of great advice - though I found it tiresome to read a list of 501 tips. The recipes look yummy, and I do plan to try them. Out with sugar for good!

The book is old but was ahead of its time, when fat free was the big cure-all to weight loss. But fat free just added more sugar to make it taste better. Very scary stuff sugar is. In the last 100 years we have 250% more sugar in our diets and bodies.

I use to think I was better than: better than people who:
did drugs, drank alcohol, was addicted to things, shopaholics, sex addicts, adrenaline junkies.

I though I don't want any of those things, I don't crave any of those things, however I did crave something: sugar, chocolate, sweet treats, peanut butter. I know sugar in peanut butter? who knew. They hide sugar in everything. My favorite two foods in the world peanut butter and chocolate.
what to do what to do.

Now I know I'm no better than any addict because I don't know If I've ever gone a day w/o some form of sugar in my body. I don't know if i will ever be completely sugar free but I will try to be be half sugar and half sass. No better than. Just a little despondent. It must be withdrawal.

Important revelation about the massive quantity of sugar and sugar substitutes in the US diet. The body needs a balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat; the body does not need any sugar at all. Yet Americans eat hundreds of pound of sugar each year. More than anything else, this is what is driving the obesity epidemic.
