The hot diet for today: Pritkin Diet
January 13th, 2009
Another day, another diet plan for you to try. While it may seem a bit much to be bombarded by all these diet books/plan, you do have to realize that not every plan fits every person so it might take a few tries to find the best fit for your body and lifestyle.
Todays popular diet plan is the Pritkin Diet, brought to you by the popular celebrity filled Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa.
Nathan Pritikin, after learning he had heart disease, created a low-fat, high-fiber diet regimen accompanied with exercise that proved advantageous with clean medical reports thereafter. Based on his success, Pritikin introduced his Pritikin Diet, as well as created the Pritikin Longevity Center as a resource for other suffering similar health problems.
The Pritikin Diet is nearly a wholly vegetarian program that is low in cholesterol, nearly void of fat and high in fiber. The Pritikin Diet recommends considerable amounts of whole grain and vegetables. You’ll have about six meals each day with limited serving sizes. There are absolutely no processed grains like white bread or instant rice. Its effectiveness has been documented in more than 100 scientific students.
The program is described in the book, The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life. The program’s 10 principles include: eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains; avoid fast-food restaurants and high-calorie beverages; be vigilant about portion control; don’t smoke and eliminate stress.
While the food restrictions are obvious in every diet, the quitting smoking, while implied in other diets, is clearly stated in the Pritkin Diet.
