    Good Points: Evidence based lifestyle approach that will reverse atherosclerosis, diabetes, and will prevent many other diseases.Don't need to count calories, but make simple food choices. No portion control.


    Bad Points: Need to be organised. Difficult to find quick hot food. A challenge to stick to because of this.


    General comments: The Pritikin diet was developed in the late 1950s by Nathan Pritikin (founder of the Pritikin Longevity Center in California). The Pritikin diet was initially developed as a program to prevent heart disease and is a low fat high fiber diet. The Pritikin diet includes regular exercise, with a minimum of a 45 minute walk per day. Diet is based upon choosing meals that contain 400 Calories or less per pound. This method is easier than calorie counting but requires some mathematical approximation. Processed foods such as pasta and white bread are eliminated in favor of whole grains while most fats are exchanged for fruits and vegetables. The diet is mainly vegetarian and there is no need to restrict portion sizes. The Pritikin diet encompasses a very healthy range of foods and generous portions that should fill you up without any danger of weight gain.
