Pritikin Science vs Herbalife Hype

Weight Loss Programs: Science VS. Hype
Weight Loss Programs: Science VS. Hype

Warning signs a program is more hype than science:

Diet excludes food groups

Focuses on a single food, supplement or potion

Promises super quick weightloss

Proof is based solely on testimonials no research provided

Sounds too good to be true

How to spot a scam weightloss program:

Overly-promotional

Unusually affordable

Requires purchase of proprietary products

Relies on "before" and "after" pictures

Years ago I signed up for Herbalife distributorship twice to the tune of $5,000 each time. So I spent a total investment on shakes and pills to lose weight. Drink two shakes a day and eat one healthy meal a day plus supplements. I did this until my body rejected the shake and the pills. My body wanted food. This Herbalife Hype is not sustainable for my body.

I probably could have taken my $10,000 went to Pritikin's All-Inclusive Health Resort Program for 2 weeks for the cost of about $9,300.00 single occupancy for the Spring Program.

The All-Inclusive Pritikin Program includes

  • Hotel Accommodations
  • Comprehensive Medical Health Evaluation and Fitness Assessment/Monitoring by our board-certified physicians
  • Five Nutritious, Gourmet Meals and Snacks Daily
  • Customized Fitness Classes led by university-degreed exercise physiologists
  • Education Classes taught by internationally renowned physicians, nutritionists, and psychologists
  • Healthy Cooking Classes led by Pritikin’s award-winning chefs
  • Use of all Resort facilities

Two factors set Pritikin apart from other health resorts:

  1. Its scientifically documented results, published in more than 100 studies in top medical journals like the New England Journal of Medicine; and
  2. Its education program, which teaches people how to sustain these results when they return home





I am a foodie who loves to take photos of food wherever I am dining or around food. I saw myself in this funny video Hungry (Happy Parody) by Taylor Moore.



As you can see by my video I love chocolate desserts.




This is a sample recipe that one might learn to prepare at a Pritikin Cooking Class.

  • Mustard Coated Salmon
  • So simple but so gourmet! A weeknight dish that makes you feel it's the weekend! Serve with a quick-and-easy whole grain like quinao or couscous, or a microwaved baked potato, plus a nice big green salad.

According to the infographic Pritikin Weightloss Program is much more effective than the Herbalife program that I spent $10,000 on to lose weight.
