Healthy Weight Loss
While other diets cause a yo-yo effect and encourage poor nutrition, the Pritikin Program promotes healthy, long-term weight loss and an overall change in lifestyle that produces powerful protection against conditions like heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes.
Recently, the world’s top experts in weight control and health published a 116-page World Health Organization report announcing that the optimal diet for healthy weight loss and prevention of disease is a plan, like the Pritikin Program, that is low in fat and high in natural, whole, fiber-rich carbohydrates.
It is a popular misconception that you have to starve yourself and abandon any notion of enjoying food in order to lose weight. At the Pritikin Longevity Center, you’ll learn just the opposite. You’ll find that you can enjoy delicious foods--in large, satisfying portions--and still achieve your personal weight loss goals. In our cooking schools, we’ll show you how to create all sorts of sumptuous dishes, like Wild Mushroom Risotto, Grilled Bison Steak With Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Bahamian Lobster, and Chocolate Mousse. You’ll marvel at all the delights in our cookbook, prepared by Pritikin’s award-winning chefs.
Most likely, you’ll begin to lose weight during your stay at the Pritikin Longevity Center. The majority of our alumni, however, achieve their most dramatic results in the months and years after graduation. Linda Melrose, like many alumni, shed a few pounds every month. After 12 months, she achieved her goal: a 30-pound weight loss and a perfect size "8." Most importantly, says the Indianapolis mother and grandmother, "I’ve finally stopped yo-yoing. No longer am I battling that little voice that sneers, ’No, you can’t have that.’ I’m at peace. Everything’s in balance."
Everything’s in balance for thousands of Pritikin alumni who, like Linda, transformed their weight loss success into lifelong success.
