Sample Menu from the Pritikin Center
As you can see from the bountiful menu below, guests at the Pritikin Longevity Center are encouraged TO EAT. Hunger is NEVER an issue. In fact, many of our guests say they're eating more than they ever have, and they're losing weight.
Healthy living can be very pleasurable and filling, Pritikin guests quickly learn. That's why they stay on track when they return home.
One of our long-time guests, Leonard Riggio, Founder and Chairman of Barnes and Noble, Inc., recently summed it well. He said, "Pritikin is not self-sacrifice. It's self-indulgence."
