The basics for a low fat diet.
This book changed my life too. It is an outstanding (if a little out of date - 1985) look at our high fat diets and how they contribute to atherosclerosis of our blood vessels. A must read for those folks looking for low, low, cholesterol levels ( <160 mg/dl).

We've worn out or copy!
Here's a short volume that changed my life. The late Nathan Pritikin puts poor eating habits in the scope of his nutritional shotgun and fires away. Simply put, he's been in favor of low-fat diets since being against high-fat diets wasn't cool. This concise volume is much more than a book for runners, it's a book for a healthy, activity filled life. Bon Appetite

Good but should be updated
This book had some useful information in it, although much of the material is 20 years old and I'm sure that we have better nutritional information now than then. For instance, Pritikin eliminates all oils including olive oil, and yet there is other literature that pushes the health benefits of olive oil.

It really works!
I followed the recommended diet for Maximum Weight Loss plan and lost 10 lbs in 7 weeks. My cholesterol level dropped from 220 to 156 in that time also. I continued to follow the maintenance plan for over a year and kept the weight off. I just had a baby and plan to follow the plan again to get back to my goal weight!

The best diet/health book ever written
While it is not the most popular, The Pritikin Program will help anyone lose weight quickly while maintaining the proper nutritional balance. Especially good for those people interested in losing body fat. I managed to get down to 3% body fat and 130 Cholesterol level while following Pritikin. While you need not follow the program in its entirety, it is an especially useful guide to helping the dieter get more fit while feeling better.

The Pritikin Health Library : The Pritikin Program for Diet
This is a wonderful book. It was an easy diet to follow. I used the diet one summer and lost fifty pounds. My only regret is that I did not buy the book when it was still in print. It gives case studies and tells how the diet works. Then it gives you the diet and recipes to follow. It's great.
