Improving on Pritikin: You Can Do Better

"Improving on Pritikin: You Can Do Better" by Ross Horne is a health and wellness book that offers a critical examination of the Pritikin diet and lifestyle program, and provides suggestions for how readers can further improve their health and well-being. Horne, a health researcher and author, begins by acknowledging the many benefits of the Pritikin program, which emphasizes a low-fat, high-fiber diet and regular exercise. However, he argues that the program falls short in several key areas, including its reliance on processed foods, its lack of emphasis on detoxification, and its failure to address the role of stress in disease. The book then goes on to provide detailed information on how readers can improve upon the Pritikin program. Horne recommends a diet that is even lower in fat and higher in whole, unprocessed foods, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruits and vegetables. He also stresses the importance of detoxification through methods such as juice fasting and colon cleansing, and provides guidance on how to reduce stress through techniques such as meditation and deep breathing. Throughout the book, Horne draws on a wide range of scientific research to support his recommendations, and includes many personal anecdotes and case studies to illustrate the effectiveness of his approach. He also includes meal plans, recipes, and other practical tools to help readers implement his suggestions. Overall, "Improving on Pritikin: You Can Do Better" is a valuable resource for anyone looking to take their health and well-being to the next level. While the Pritikin program is certainly a good starting point, Horne's book provides a more comprehensive and holistic approach to health that takes into account the many factors that contribute to disease. Whether you're a long-time Pritikin follower or just starting out on your health journey, this book is sure to provide you with valuable insights and practical tips for improving your overall well-being.
