Pritikin Diet

The program begins by taking a “comprehensive medical exam” of each guest. This is when goals are established and health is evaluated. An exercise “prescription” is given and a menu created for the duration of the stay. Each client will have six customized meals prepared for them daily, and each meal will reflect weight goal aims and exercise needs.

There are additional programs for people who would also like to focus on quitting smoking, alleviating stress or lowering cholesterol.

While staying at the center, the program is advertised as being easy to follow the program. There will be exercise coaches and nutritionists available to keep clients motivated and on track all at a cost. However, once the one to two weeks are over, people may find it hard to resume the program at home unsupervised.

It’s much easier to keep a diet and exercise regime when it is preplanned and partly executed for you. There are options after the stay to enroll in a prepackaged food plan, which will deliver meals weekly. If choosing to pay for this option it may be simpler to continue progress at home or supplementing the diet with a popular appetite suppressant.

The Pritikin program may interest people who would like a week or two to boost their health and fitness in a vacation like setting. While at the center it will be easy to create a customized program to take in individual concerns and issues. However, once the stay is over in order to continue progress it will rely on dedication without any further guidance. While this program may kick-start weight loss results, it’s unlikely much weight can be lost in just one or two weeks.

Due to the high cost this program may not be for everyone. Rates begin at $4360, but there are occasional specials along with packages, both of which may save money. There are many weight loss supplements and programs out there which do not require such a high financial commitment, and may provide equal or better results, though they may lack the resort environment.
