A Recession Diet Worth Striving For?

By on February 8, 2010

In looking to research 2 popular and 1 not-s0-popular diets, I came across many such as: the Hallelujah Diet, Shangri-La, and even a French Women Don’t Get Fat diet (among many others). I was pleasantly surprised to come across one that I would actually recommend to someone in need of structure and accountability.

Personally I don’t believe someone should need to pay someone on a weekly or monthly basis to tell him/her to eat better (and less). Weight should never be an issue! A foolproof way to attain and maintain optimal weight is to eat healthy most hours of the day and days of the week. What constitutes healthy? Food without labels! It’s that simple!

The not-so-popular, but highly effective diet that encourages this type of eating is the Pritikin Diet. It has been referred to as the Recession Diet.  Most of the foods can be purchased in bulk, thereby saving you money! Why pay for packaging? The foods on this diet are pretty much those real foods you find on the outer walls of the grocery stores. They include:

  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Whole grains, beans and peas
  • Starchy vegetables like potatoes and yam
  • Nonfat dairy (or soy) and fish

It is based on 30 years of scientific research, it includes exercise and stress management, and… UCLA Scientists have published over 100 clinical studies in various medical journals including New England Journal of Medicine. Benefits include:

  • Long-term weight loss
  • Reduction of all heart disease risk factors
  • Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Eliminating need for angioplasty and heart bypass surgery
  • Control/reversal of Diabetes
  • Reducing/eliminating pain and arthritis
  • Elimination of many medications
  • Reduced risks for breast, colon and  prostrate cancer

The benefit of living a longer naturally healthy life is priceless. For less than $20 (book), you can learn the Pritikin Principle, lower your grocery bill, and see the pounds and inches melt away without ever having to diet again.

Feed your body not your taste taste buds because…
