The Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough: 5 Easy Steps to Outsmart Your Fat Instinct (Paperback) Review

The Pritikin Weight Loss Breakthrough: 5 Easy Steps to Outsmart Your Fat Instinct"Breakthrough" contains a new rationale for the Pritikin program called the "fat instinct". Pritikin explains what that concept means, then shows how his theory explains why the modern (western) dietcauses illnesses which people who eat "traditional" diets do nothave, why other weight-loss plans fail, and why the Pritikin program works.Pritikin then spends some time defending his position on carbohydrates. Thepractical result of all this is a chapter on behaviors which can be used to"outsmart the fat instinct". This is followed by a too-shortexplanation of how to follow the Pritikin program, and then a recipesection.
This book does a great job of motivating the reader, explainingwhy the Pritikin program is necessary, and it gives new information aboutthe behaviors necessary for dieting. However, "Breakthrough" doesnot give a detailed explanation of what the Pritikin diet and exerciseprogram is. The Program is explained in one short chapter with a briefdescription of exercise methods earlier in the book.
I strongly recommendthat anyone interested in the Pritikin program also purchase the book"The New Pritikin Program", which spends over 400 pagesdiscussing things which "Breakthrough" just mentions in passing.Even though "Breakthrough" is the newer book, "The NewPritikin Program" remains the definitive explanation of what thePritikin Program is.
