It is a popular misconception that you have to starve yourself and abandon any notion of enjoying food in order to lose weight. At the Pritikin Longevity Center® & Spa, you’ll learn that not only are these notions false, but it is ideas such as these that may have been impeding successful weight loss efforts throughout the years. With the Pritikin Program, you’ll find that you can enjoy delicious foods--in large, satisfying portions--and still achieve your personal weight loss goals.
Never Diet Again
If you’re on a diet that dehydrates, starves, fatigues, or robs you of essential minerals, you will eventually succumb to eating the unhealthy foods your body desires. At the Pritikin Longevity Center, you will not reach this level of abandon because your body will be completely satisfied with six delicious, hearty meals and snacks each day.
A New Approach to Eating
Our goal at the Center is not to deprive you of the foods you enjoy. Rather, we endeavor to introduce you to equally delicious but healthy alternatives. Our award-winning chef has perfected a full array of nutritious meals that are just as pleasing to the palate as they are to the eye. At the Pritikin Longevity Center, you’ll enjoy sumptuous dishes such as Stone Crabs, Grilled Bison Steak, Herb Crepes Filled With Ricotta and Sundried Tomatoes, Soba Noodle Stir-Fry, and Maine Lobster. And when you sample our Chocolate Mousse or Sweet Potato Souffle, you may feel as if you’re indulging in forbidden treats, but rest assured, you’re not.
As you’re learning to enjoy healthier meals, our chefs and dietitians will show you in cooking classes how to recreate such delicacies in your own kitchen. And because many of our guests travel for business and pleasure, we’ll provide you with a multitude of tips, all very easy and practical, for making healthy, tasty choices when dining out.
Perhaps most importantly, we’ll teach you how to weave the habit of healthy eating into the fabric of your everyday life. For it is only by fully embracing lifelong changes in diet and nutrition that our guests achieve long-term weight loss.
Lifelong changes are very achievable "because on the Pritikin Program you can have just about everything you desire!" says alumnus Michael Pouls of Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, who lost 78 pounds on the Pritikin Program and went from a size 44 waist to a size 34. "There are so many foods you can eat on Pritikin--egg white omelettes, grilled seafood, baked potatoes, pastas, salads with a zillion types of dressings, frozen yogurt, even chocolaty shakes. It's the perfect program. Thank you, Pritikin, for giving me all the tools I need to not only lose the weight but also keep it off. I've certainly lost weight before, but never like this. Never have I felt so successful, or so confident."
Weight Loss: What to Expect
Most guests begin to lose weight during their stay at the Pritikin Longevity Center. Research has documented that Pritikin guests in need of weight loss shed 12 pounds and more within three weeks of starting the Pritikin Program (Archives of Internal Medicine, 151: 1389, 1991). The majority achieve their most dramatic results in the months after they leave the resort.
