Product Description
For over 20 years, THE PRITIKIN PROGRAM FOR DIET AND EXERCISE by Nathan Pritikin has set the standard for people wanting to eat healthier, citing the healthy intake of grains, vegetables, and fruits, while avoiding foods full of fat and cholesterol. Now, through research at the Pritikin Longevity Center, his son Robert Pritikin has discovered the genetic key that unlocks the secret to why people crave the "wrong" kinds of food. With THE PRITIKIN WEIGHT LOSS BREAKTHROUGH, Robert Pritikin demonstrates how people can live longer, healthier lives, without the fat.
Online Review
Pity poor Robert Pritikin: his father Nathan, who almost died of heart disease in the 1950s but saved himself with his famous low-fat diet, was extraordinarily disciplined. He could eat a dinner of brown rice and then go for a run. Robert, on the other hand, craved cheeseburgers and just wanted to hang out on the couch. It turns out that Robert had the "fat instinct," a natural, evolution-favored tendency to eat calorically dense foods and conserve energy. How he beats that instinct--and how you can, too--is the heart of his Breakthrough. The book shows how to eat until you're full several times a day; enjoy the food you're eating; use exercise to create cravings for nutrient-rich, carbohydrate-based foods; and stay on the program even if you're traveling or out with friends at a restaurant. The Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough is the answer to all the anticarbohydrate, pro-protein and pro-fat books out there, citing legitimate research to defend its positions and offering dozens of recipes to help facilitate the plan.
