People are different--you need to know what's right for you!
Dr. Abravanel and I published this book in 1983. We are delighted and perhaps a little surprised to find that it continues to find new readers year after year. Obviously, the idea that people are different, and that one diet is not right for everyone, strikes a responsive chord somewhere. Since 1985 we have been putting out a quarterly newsletter called "Body Type News" to update our readers on our new discoveries about the four Body Types. In 1999, Bantam Books will be publishing a second edition of this book. We have completely re-evaluated the role of exercise in the Body Type program (it's even more vital than we thought in 1983), added all-new chapters on nutritional supplements and stress reduction, and given you directions for a Long Weekend of Rejuvenation for each Body Type. We're glad about the fact that our book has brought the concept of Body Types out of the fringes of today's nutrition thinking and closer to the mainstream. While it hasn't achieved general acceptance yet, it has produced a few imitators! Several people we have trained in our concepts are bringing out their own versions of the Body Type Diet. That's what happens to ideas--they take on a life of their own. It may seem obvious, but we'll say it anyway--not all of the imitators have a medical background (Dr. Abravanel is an M.D.) so be sure to check their advice with your own physician. One of the goals we are still working on is to help more physicians and nutritionists understand the role of metabolic body typing in finding the right nutrition program for their patients or clients. To them, we'd like to emphasize that our Body Type diets are not fad diets; all are healthy and balanced, and all meet the American Heart Association guidelines for low-fat eating. What's different about them is that they are fine-tuned to the particular needs of four different types of metabolism, or Body Types. This fine-tuning adds a needed dimension for people seeking the right diet for their own particular needs. One nutritionist who has incorporated the Body Type program into her practice told me, "I had stopped doing nutritional counseling over ten years ago, because it was clear to me that the diets I gave out were not right for everyone. Now I feel that you have given me back my profession, because I use the Body Type concept to find the right program for each individual client." This is what we offer in all our works on Body Types.
