Re: Liquid protein won't fill you up/satiety index, who uses it?

October 25, 2002

Pritikin - in his most recent exposition of the pritikin low-fat,

high vegetable, moderately high (at least when I follow it, because 2

glasses of milk count up with all the veggie protein and the 3 or 4 ounces

daily animal protein foods) protein, moderate fruit diet - discusses the

satiety index and promotes it as a superior way of judging a food's value

in a weight loww regimen. He also promotes a moderate amount of exercise as

essential for the body to process carbohydrate properly, and thus reduce

fat cravings. The name of the book is " The Pritikin Weight Loss

Breakthrough. "

I suppose what I'm doing is related to Pritikin's work. I started with

" Live Longer Now " many years ago, but have wandered far. My return has

been through some success with modified Ornish, which ends up to be a lot

like Pritikin and Walford, because I work to minimise calories and use

dwidp to ensure complete daily nutritional intake.

I don't like books that have " Breakthrough...etc.. " in the title, but I

guess he has to get some readers in order to communicate his message.

I'd be interested in learning more than he includes in his book about the

satiety index, also.
