Dining at the resort is pure pleasure. The Pritikin Eating Plan,
rich in fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, whole grains, pasta,
seafood, and moderate servings of lean meats and nonfat dairy
foods, was originally founded by Nathan Pritikin in the late
1950s.  Unwilling
to accept his newly diagnosed heart disease, the 41-year-old
engineer thoroughly studied cultures from around the world that
were virtually free of heart disease and adapted their diets
to American tastes. His cholesterol plummeted from almost 300
to 120 – and his angina (chest pain) vanished. Thus, the
Pritikin Program was born.
Today at the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa, guests discover
how doable – and absolutely delicious – the Pritikin
Eating Plan is. Award-winning chefs prepare a full array of sumptuous
dishes that are as pleasing to the palate as they are to the eye.
And the food is bountiful! Guests eat five to six times daily.
Delectable highlights include:  Sockeye
Salmon Served on Morel Risotto, Panzanella Herb Salad, Tuna Carpaccio,
Stone Crabs, Grilled Filet of Bison With Warm Onion Marmalade,
Eggplant Curry on Peppersi, Chocolate Mousse, and Chardonnay Poached
Pears.
At other spas, as The Wall Street Journal recently reported, you
may actually need to go on a diet before arriving because the food
at these spas has recently become so calorie-rich. Refreshingly,
that’s not the case at the Pritikin Longevity Center & Spa.
Guests are treated to gourmet delights, yet they still lose weight.
Many shed 10 pounds and more in just two weeks. Our primary
goal has been, and will always be, helping you achieve your health
and weight-loss goals.
