It works!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough: Five Easy Steps to Outsmart Your Fat Instinct (Paperback)
I bought this book, read it, followed the directions and 7 months later I'm 50 pounds lighter. And I have no doubt that I can live with this diet for the rest of my life.Let's cut to the bottom line -- there is one thing I can say about the Pritikin diet that I can't say about all the others: It works!

Excellent facts to support a non-hungry diet,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough (Hardcover)
My husband and I read this book prior to attending the Pritikin Center in Santa Monica on the advice of his endocrinologist. We served three dinner parties entirely from this book and did not tell the participants they were actually dieting - in each case the dinners received rave reviews. Not only that after attending the Pritikin Center my husband has lost over 10lb and I have lost over 8lb using recipes similar to the ones in this book.The tricks to eating are explained - first you must never go hungry - so its not a difficult thing to be on the Pritikin Program. Then you should try to eat 5 little meals a day. Then you should always start the meal with veggies - soup or salad - and put veggies on the plate first - before the meat. This book is for rational people that believe in studies and supporting evidence for a healthy diet and exercise-based lifestyle. It helps if you have a buddy to read it with and put it into practice. Its even better if you can afford the time and the money to go to the Pritikin program and see what a plate of veggies really looks like. This is a book that can be read and reread. It is particularly appropriate for diabetics and heart attack victims. Pritikin has helped lots of people get off their medications and avoid bypass surgery, although in our case it came too late for my husband to avoid surgery. Its best to try the program when you have a family history of heart disease or diabetes and you are not yet very ill - maybe your symptoms are just that you like to eat all the bread in the bread basket. This book also helps chocoholics and other fat eaters understand why they like their food and how with exercise they can start to prefer carbohydrates over fatty morsels.

Fantastic book for anyone who wants great health.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough: Five Easy Steps to Outsmart Your Fat Instinct (Paperback)
This book is a great source of information on improving your health and fitness. It gives an excellent example of a diet to follow that will work and the explanation why. It also explains why the other fad diets don't work. It's one of the best diet and nutrition books that I've ever read. There's also a bunch of great recipes in the back. It's worth checking out.
