The Pritikin Edge: 10 Essential Ingredients for a Long and Delicious Life

by Robert A. Vogel, Paul Tager Lehr

Sharing recipes and lifestyle tips, Robert A. Vogel and Paul Tager Lehr reveal the ten essential steps of The Pritikin Program to help you get healthy and energized. We Americans may reside in the greatest nation on earth, but our lifestyle is killing us. One quarter of us still smoke, two-thirds of us are fat, three-quarters of us don't exercise, and stress and depression are ubiquitous. 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. Here you'll find the ten simple lifestyle ingredients that will change your life. Stick with them and you'll lose weight without feeling hungry, your energy will surge, and you will look and feel healthier and stronger than you have in years. The Pritikin Edge gives you the real facts so you can take control of your health and add years to your life and quality to your years. Once you begin living with these principles, you'll wonder how you ever lived any other way.

Great book very readable with enough scientific background to convince me it's worth trying! Why do these books have such " gourmet" recipes- basics would be more helpful.

Pretty decent book. I finished this a few of the others a while ago, but it seems Kindle and GoodReads don't like each other and don't talk.
