What do Dennis Quaid, Neve Campbell, Jennifer Aniston, Candice Bergen, Alfre Woodard and Sela Ward have in common? Diet designer Carrie Wiatt.

Hollywood's elite and readers, viewers, and listeners everywhere line up to be enlightened by Carrie Wiatt. At her Los Angeles company Diet Designs, Carrie created an instant sensation in the closely-knit community of stars with her combination of custom lowfat cuisine, portion control, and personalized counseling. Since then, Wiatt has taken her life-changing concept for healthy eating and high-energy lifestyles national as a book author, magazine columnist, spokesperson, frequent media guest, and host of her own syndicated television show. DietDesigns.com brings Carrie's charisma to a full-service online resource for diet and self-care.

As a clinical nutritionist with a taste for the good life, Wiatt built her exclusive practice over a decade of feeding some of the world's most demanding palates and beautiful bodies – then turned her expertise into two best-selling books. She compiled her proven techniques and coveted recipes in her first book, EATING BY DESIGN: The Individualized Food Personality Type Nutrition Plan (Pocket Books 1995), which revealed the twelve different eating styles identified in her practice and debuted to popular acclaim and endorsement by the nutritional community. Wiatt topped this success with PORTION SAVVY: The 30-Day Smart Plan for Living Well (Pocket Books 1999). Her hands-on plan for matching portion sizes to personal energy needs earned Carrie the devotion of health-conscious individuals fed up with the false promise of fad diets – and "the Diet Diva" (Vanity Fair) made her mark as the authoritative author on the art and science of dining well.

Wiatt's ability to bridge the gap between food and medical circles and bring her advice to life on-screen has made her a sought-after television expert on healthy lifestyles. She's shared her trademark blend of hard facts and fun, tasty tips on news shows including "CNN Morning News," "CBS This Morning," and ABC's "Good Morning America," and lit up the screen on segments for "Today," "Extra," and E! Entertainment Channel, where she's also appeared in three specials. Partnering with Kim Alexis, Wiatt made eating well easy on Time Warner's syndicated "Your Mind and Body," and she wielded the big knives on a series of "Chef du Jour" cooking segments for the TV Food Network. Carrie took her passion for the highest quality of life to a new level as host of "Living Better with Carrie Wiatt" (Hearst-Argyle Television Productions), where she spent two successful seasons establishing a format that helps viewers make positive lifestyle changes for happiness and health.

Carrie's fresh take on self care has been featured in People, W, Elle, Good Housekeeping, Health, and many other publications. As a national spokesperson, Wiatt has shared her wealth of knowledge on behalf of Nordic Track, Quaker Oats, Sunsweet, and the Shake Up/Shape Up milk council campaign. In the direct marketplace, she teamed up with Frankie Avalon to bring a fat-free gourmet cooking system to the Home Shopping Network. Sound like a busy schedule? The energetic expert is always eager to embrace the next opportunity to share her lease on the good life far and wide.

Carrie Wiatt holds her Master's degree in Nutrition and Food Science from California State University at Northridge, which has honored her with its Outstanding Entrepreneur Award. She lives in Brentwood, California.
