Summary: Interesting and Informative
Review: I saw this video and immediately thought that it would make a good gift for some of my family members who stuggle with their weight. The video is really well done and Dr. Robert Pritikin presents well. Pritikin covers a lot of interesting information in the video. The topics that registered the most with me were the ones on how the human body reacts to surgar, and the tips on how best to develop an exercise routine. The video confirmed a lot of the advice that I have received over the years from other people.

Summary: Pritikin Died of Cancer at 66. Why?
Review: Nathan Pritikin, the founder of the Pritikin regimen, died of leukemia at 66. Or 65? Anyway, even though he called his centers "Longevity Centers," he fell far short of the average U.S. life expectancy. No question about it. Pritikin is far superior to Atkins. And it can have a good effect on heart disease and hypertension. But Pritikin shows that it has no significant effect on longevity. It cannot extend your lifespan. And it does not retard your aging. So it's deceptive advertising to call Pritkin Centers "Longevity Centers." The Pritikin Regimen is unnecessarily strict. It is extremely phobic about fat, salt and sugar. And if I remember right, no alcohol. So many don'ts. Does an extremely low-fat diet like Pritikin make one susceptible to depression? As Pritikin suffered when he had a relapse of his cancer, he immediately slashed his wrist and killed himself. If you wish to lose weight and prevent cancer and heart disease, and also retard your aging and extend your lifespan, then I recommend you read The ImmorTalist Manifesto by Elixxir. Available on Amazon. It will tell you all about The Elixxir Program. And Elixxir, "the only anti-aging guru who has actually stayed young." Investor's Business Daily Even if you choose to experiment with Pritikin, you need The ImmorTalist Manifesto as your companion book. It will give you the inspiration and power you need to stay on a demanding diet. Yes, I'm biased. I've been on The Elixxir Program. A well-kept secret! And it's worked wonders for me. Lost over 35 pounds and kept it off for more than two years! And look years younger! And slimmer!

Summary: Science and health
Review: This is not another crash diet. It is a scientifically based reasonable life long strategy for acheiving and maintaining good health. Althought his father's diet (Pritikin diet) was not based on good science, the son (Robert Pritikin) is educated and experienced in health science. The recommendations are clear and simple and easy for everyone to follow without gimicks, apparatutus or special diets. A great educational experience in health and nutrition.
