We Americans may reside in the greatest nation on earth, but our
lifestyle is killing us. Onequarter of us still smoke, two-thirds
of us are fat, three-quarters of us don't exercise, and stress and
depression are ubiquitous. We wolf down oversize portions of fast
food in minutes and boast of not having taken a vacation in years.
We get misinformation like "olive oil is healthy" but then get
fatter because drizzling three tablespoons of oil on a salad adds
as many calories as two scoops of premium ice cream. Despite all
our advances in drugs and surgery, obesity and the diseases it
causes have shortened life expectancy; this is the first time in
history that children can expect to die younger than their parents.
The Pritikin Program was the first comprehensive lifestyle
program in America, and after fifty years on the cutting edge of
lifestyle science, it is still the longest-running, most successful
program for reversing many of modern society's diseases, including
obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. What sets Pritikin apart from
the myriad of other diets is that its program is based on real
science. Pritikin doesn't make random claims or base advice on
half-truths or fads; Pritikin's effectiveness has been proven and
documented in more than 110 scientific studies.
