High Carbs-Low Fat: The Pritikin Diet Way
The Pritikin Diet is the polar opposite of the Atkins Diet. However, this diet is not as popular as the Atkins Diet. The Pritikin diet plan promotes a diet that is high in carbs and low in fats. The diet was originally developed by Nathan Pritikin and further enhanced by his son Robert Pritikin. The Pritikin theory states that because food is readily available man has the tendency to “over consume,” leading to weight gain, heart disease, colorectal cancer, and other diseases. This diet re-orientates the diet toward high-fiber, unprocessed carbohydrates and low-fat protein sources, and a significantly reduced fat intake and regular daily exercise. The Pritikin Diet is designed to improve the overall health of dieters as well as reducing risk factors for dietary related diseases.
