The Pritikin diet is one of the oldest diets around. Developed originally as a diet to prevent heart disease it has since been adopted by many people seeking a healthier life style. It accomplishes this by cutting out bread and pasta and replacing it with whole grain. Fats are replaced by fruits and vegetables. The Pritikin diet uses a mathematical formula for its calorie watching which is easier than calorie counting but is not as precise. Exercise is included in the diet and a long walk of 45 minutes per day is required.

If you are seeking a diet that will maintain your weight then I recommend this one. However if you wish to lose weight then I recommend a medical Weight Loss Program like the Diennet Diet Program that will medically focus on not only the weight loss but the reasons why you are overweight and curing you of those ailments..
