	Pritikin diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pritikin Diet was created by Nathan Pritikin and enhanced by his son Robert Pritikin.
		The goal of the Pritikin Diet is a reorientation of the diet toward high-fiber, unprocessed carbohydrates and low-fat protein sources, in addition to a significantly reduced fat intake and regular daily exercise.
		The practice of the Pritikin Diet holds that in order to feel satisfied and stop eating, a human being needs to consume enough food, of any sort, until he has ingested a certain amount of bulk, that is, physical weight.

	The Pritikin Diet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Since the Pritikin diet's original intent was to help people with heart conditions, its most basic recommendation makes sense: Consume food that is extremely low in fat.
		The second criticism of the Pritikin diet is that some believe Nathan Pritikin got the research data wrong in the first place.
		Some critics argue that the diet (originally developed for diabetic patients) was never intended to be adopted long-term, but was designed to be modified (by increasing the fat content to around 25%) after a fairly short period of time.

	Nutrition: Losing Propositions - A Discussion of Popular Diets
		Diets come and go in popularity, but the ones that I hear the most about from patients are the Zone Diet, the Atkins Diet, the Pritikin Diet, the Ornish diet, and, lately, the "Blood Type" diet.
		The Zone Diet is quite a change from the typical American diet, which generally has as much as 50-60% of energy from carbohydrate, and much less energy in the form of protein (more in the range of 15%).
		In addition, since this diet is very low in fiber, approximately 5 g/day, constipation could well become an issue, as well as some of the chronic conditions that result from low fiber diets, including diverticulosis and colon cancer.

		Pritikin committed suicide due to a slow leukemia which he had long before he started his diet.

		The same plant-based foods of the original are the staples of his diet, and the fat content of the regimen is still about as low as you can go.
		Pritikin doesn't shy away from the basic principle that weight loss is achieved by eating fewer calories than you burn each day, which is refreshing, given the spate of current diet books that attempt to ignore that simple but unalterable axiom.
		The Pritikin Principle has more than 20 pages of charts listing the caloric density of all kinds of foods, from snacks to sausages, listing them in calories per pound to graphically demonstrate the striking calorie differences between low-density foods and high-density foods.
