DAVID ZINCZENKO is internationally recognized as the leading voice in health, fitness, nutrition and weight loss and is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of 25 books in 15 languages, with more than 10 million books in print. Dave created the Eat This, Not That! series and the Zero Belly Diet franchise, as well as The Abs Diet series and the 8-Hour Diet. He is also the Editorial Director of Men's Fitness and the Nutrition and Wellness Correspondent for ABC News, and has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, 20/20, The Rachael Ray Show, the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and was a frequent guest on The Today Show.

His books have changed the way the world eats—and have helped millions of men and women lose weight, sometimes up to 70 pounds or more.

Starting in a 2002 op-ed in the New York Times and later in 2007 with the Eat This, Not That! series of books, Zinczenko called for food manufacturers "to provide what every diner in America deserves: full disclosure" and led to calorie counts on menus and healthier formulations of products from Jamba Juice, Carl's Jr. and many more. The blockbuster series—with its pop culture attitude, shocking food swaps and proven "no-diet" weight loss strategies—continues to top the charts, with titles devoted to restaurant menu survival, supermarket shopping guides, healthy pregnancies and rapid weight loss.

Oprah called Eat This, Not That! "a great guide everyone should get" and Ellen DeGeneres said "Eat This, Not That! will freak the weight right off of you!"

His diet books have been equally acclaimed. The Abs Diet series was ranked as one of the best commercial diet plans by U.S, News and World Report. The 8-Hour Diet (published in 2012) led the trend of intermittent fasting.

His latest franchise—Zero Belly Diet—has spawned two more bestsellers, Zero Belly Cookbook and Zero Belly Smoothies, and have helped thousands lose weight and look, feel and live better than ever. Dave's next book, The Sugar Swap Diet, will show you how giving up added sugars will melt fat and guarantee your happiest and healthiest life.

Formerly the Editorial Director of Men's Health, Women's Health and Prevention, and the General Manager of Rodale Books, Zinczenko is also the Founder and CEO of Galvanized Media, a company helping define the new era of healthy living. He grew up in Bethlehem, PA, where he's in the Hall of Fame, and attended Moravian College, home of The Zinczenko Center for New Media.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to the abs diet book
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2010

I use to excercise and after having no success at losing a couple of unwanted pounds I decided to purchase the abs diet book. The book will definitely get you in shape but you should do like I did. Only use this book as a starting point. Find out as much as you can about fitness and nutrition. Don't do like me and lose the hard earned six pack that the Original Abs diet gave me. Learn all the new scientific principles that you can. And if you have the original Abs diet book this book will definitely compliment it. I've been on a mission to get back into shape myself and decided to even document it each week. [...]

I used the information in this book to lose 32 pounds and I have referred many friends to the Abs Diet.

If you're thinking of losing weight, the Abs Diet is an excellent way to do so. You don't have to 'starve' yourself.

This is just a GREAT book and I recommend it along side your cookbooks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good tool, a bit redundant
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013

I got this to go along with my other Abs diet books. I feel of all the books this is the least helpful. It's just information overload for me I guess. Maybe it will become more useful as I get used to the diet more. Part of the book is just repeating what the other books said. My favorite of the books would have to be the ABS diet cookbook. It sums the diet up nicely and gives alot of recipe ideas all in one. I wish I had just bought that one only.

Anything to get across the absolute necessity to grasp good nutrition in a world submerged in utter health busting crap....which is 99% of that labelled and certified as food will get a thumbs up from me. I am resigned to the fact that a vast part of the medical world is either plain thick or in the pay of negative enterprises. Reading all you can along these lines is supremely important to every individual's quality of life and freedom from illness!
