The diet's main goal is lowering
cholesterol, however when on the Pritikin
diet you will have weight loss as well. It
is really great for helping with any type
of heart problem.
Foodwise, the diet sticks to fruits,
vegetables, whole grain, and seafood.
Processed grain, or proccessed anything,
is a big no. You'll eat around six meals a
day. Aerobic exercise is pretty big too,
at least 30 minutes a day and weights 2-3
times a week.
It's pretty strict, almost a full out
vegetarian diet, so if you have a hard
time sticking to diets or giving certain
things up then I'd find something a little
more flexible. It's better to find a diet
you know you can stick to. Good luck!
