Book Description
The Pritikin diet was founded by Nathan Pritikin, originally to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. When he began to prescribe a moderate exercise program and healthy eating for those looking to improve their cardiovascular health, the treatment de rigueur involved rest and avoidance of all exercise, often paired with surgery and medication. This diet is safe and healthy for everyone. However, people who are used to eating multiple servings of animal-based protein each day, eat out regularly, rely heavily on processed foods or do not have ready access to fresh fruits and vegetables may find it challenging to adhere to this plan. With willpower and motivation, you can stick to the program, but you will likely need to make some adjustments to your current lifestyle.There are plenty of Pritikin recipes available. Within the book, you'll be able to choose from a wide selection of recipes to create appealing meals and snacks. Eating out is doable but might be difficult. For the most part, you may choose to prepare your foods at home, where you have more control over the sugar, sodium and fat content of the dishes you create. Physical hunger won't be a problem on the Pritikin diet. The fruit, vegetables and whole grains should keep you very satisfied. The Pritikin plan is built on a foundation of low-fat, high-fiber foods with daily exercise and is meant to be followed for life.
