PRITIKIN (Mostly Vegetarian)
Since the 1950’s, more than 90 studies have shown the advantages of the Pritikin diet plan and approach (mostly low-fat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables). Animal products are restricted to one serving a day or less, with fish preferable to poultry. Red meat is limited to once a month or not at all. An analysis of almost 4,600 patients showed an average 23% drop in LDL levels within 3 weeks and an average 33% drop in triglycerides. New England Journal of Medicine, 323: 1921, 1990; Archives of Internal Medicine, 151:1389, 1991. For a list of 14 more studies either confirming the above or showing the effects against high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer prevention, and metabolic diseases see: https://www.pritikin.com/eperspective/specialissues/pritikinatkins/results.htm and http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/diet-fitness/pritikin.html

Brief Bio of Nathan Pritikin from Wikipedia.comNathan Pritikin (1915 – 1985) was an American nutritionist and longevity research pioneer. Diagnosed with heart disease in the 1950s, he engaged in a low-fat diet that was high in unrefined carbohydrates along with a moderate aerobic exercise regime.

When his own disease improved substantially, he established the Pritikin Longevity Center in 1976 and served as its director. Now called the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa, it offers controlled diet, counseling in lifestyle change and exercise in a resort/spa-type setting. Pritikin also served as chairman of the Pritikin Research Foundation. After many years on his own diet, he was diagnosed with cancer and depression.
