Talk:Pritikin Program

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I feel a need for links to be added to the end of this article, and references. Most of the information could be considered credible however, because there is no information that has been referenced it unfortunately means nothing.

Articles that critically analyze this method should be added alongside articles for this diet (although the latter has to be moderated by the criticism). Statistics such as percentage of successful candidates and the average time frame for successful weight loss is a must, what should also be added with this is how many people after finishing this diet have gone back to their old (baseline) weight (yoyo).

anecdotal evidence: http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/0201hyglibcat/020121horne/020121ch2.html Rolet de Castella, 60, business executive and father of world champion marathon runner, Robert de Castella - Robert de Castella, a.k.a. Deek is extremely well known in Australia as a marathon runner. i had thought that his father's story - see the link - about completely reversing badly blocked arteries was also famous, but i couldn't find much with google. While it's only anecdotal evidence, Deek's fame should be enough to include it, but i'd sort of prefer something a bit more serious looking and not just have this anecdote.
The best articles i found so far on www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov only have titles - that's not really much use except to prove that someone did research about the Pritikin diet without letting anyone (except those with subscriptions) know about the results. Here are some that do have abstracts:
There should be some existing wikipedia articles about the effects of low-fat, high complex-carbohydrate diet and regular exercise on various physiological parameters. No need to double up between the two articles. Boud 22:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
