About this title

Synopsis

New Pritikin Program

Reviews

When Nathan Pritikin launched his Pritiken diet about 10 years ago, one of the basic comments heard was that it was too unyielding, too difficult to fit into everyday life. Son Robert says his plan is meant to be more flexible and comprehensive, "with an emphasis on lifestyle that's just as important as the food guidelines." After a discussion of cholesterol, protein, and fiber, Pritikin explains the basic exchange diet--which foods are acceptable, which are not, and how the diet works. He gives sample menus and recipes, as well as advice on eating out, travel, cooking, exercise, and stress management. Like many diet books, the diet may at first seem complicated, but Pritikin offers some sound advice on the relationship between diet and good health. For public libraries. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 10/15/89.
