Nathan Pritikin first developed the Pritkin program for himself in an effort to battle what his doctors called a case of incurable heart disease. And it worked. Now his son Robert is offering the diet as a way to treat another chronic illness: obesity. The regimens notoriously low fat content and rigorous exercise recommendations have changed little over the years, yet Roberts approach is slightly different. Realizing that a lot of human behavior in regard to health, food, and fitness “is instinctual and irrational,” the younger Pritikin doesnt appeal to intellect to drive diet and lifestyle changes. Instead, he offers concrete strategies for outsmarting the biological drive to overeat. Some might call it a case of “like father, like son.” Yet Robert Pritikin seems to be continually honing the heart-healthy philosophy his father developed in the 1950s, and keeping it relevant to the times.

With high-fat temptations virtually everywhere you look, theres no question that this approach is going to be a tough sell for most dieters. Its laudable that Pritikin offers several options for reducing fat with his “Better,” “Better Still,” and “Best” lists. Yet theres no way around the fact that all of these options amount to a more Spartan regimen than many people can handle.
