Perricone Diet- Great Info and...

I read the book, well written and informative and started the eating plan today. You do NOT have to buy the skin care line, or his over-priced versions of the supplements. I got most (not all) of the supplements locally for about $75.00 for a 2 month supply. That easily replaces mindlessly eating junk at $32.00 a month. And since most of my misc. medical stuff is inflammatory related, I will be happy to get relief! A friend did this and said she had a big change after 4 weeks, energy-wise, plus more. AND you DON'T have to eat just FISH. There's lots of ideas/recipes for lean chicken, turkey and vegetarian dishes. If you can cook (or not), it's not that hard...

Evidently Perricone sold his business a while back, hence no new books. I also couldn't find any active online support groups, etc. Oh well...

This helped me lose the weight after 40!

I was referred to Dr. Perricone books by a friend who did his diet a couple of years ago and lost over 90 lbs. The supplement list and explanations and the top choices for foods, spices and such helped me so much. I have lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks. Now, I don't always follow all his recipe plans because some of the meals I just didn't care for. But I did follow the fundamentals of his diet and I do take all of the supplements. I truly believe it's the supplements he recommends that gave my metabolism a jump start. I have done all the well known diets in the past and am fully aware of the protein-carb-fat balance, so eating less and controlling portion size isn't new to me. I would recommend this book for all the combined information it contains!

Essentially the same book as the first two, but the recipes are always worth it

I first caught Perricone on PBS several years ago. It was all relatively new to me. I don't think I had ever heard of a diet that championed huge amounts of Salmon, but taken altogether it had a true enough ring that I gave it a try. Many years later, Perricone has been one of the best diets that I have tried and one of the few that I have stuck with for any lengthy period of time. It is quite similar to a lot of diets that have popped up since, like the Omega Diet, the GI diet, etc. (or at least I discovered them afterwords) Here is the skinny on Perricone as I view it:

1) It is essentially a diet that calls for eating non-processed foods and staying away from sugar. In many ways it is just another low-carb diet (minus processed foods) but with its own unique qualities like eating Salmon and lots of olive oil. If you have ever done weight watchers it is pretty much what they call a 'core' diet.

2) The recipes are really what differentiate one book from another. Each book has similar content with some minor differences or evolutions, like the introduction of Kefir and Acai in book 2 (The Perricone Promise). Every time he comes out with a new book, I'm always slightly put off because they're the same except for a few new recipes, but I have to say, those recipes are gold. I made the Curried Stew over the weekend and it is just fabulous, eating it for the third day in a row here at work.

3) This diet can be complicated or simple, boring or quite extravagant, it's quite up to you and it may take some time for you to settle into it. In the beginning, when I tried to follow his plan, I frankly found it very taxing. His recipes require a lot of cutting, chopping, and ingredient buying and if you try and make a new recipe every day like in the book you may become disgruntled, not to mention waste a ton of food and money. Over the years, though, I have become quite good at making things more or less Perricone compliant. Last night I had a salad with some pre-marinated lime chicken, mixed some salsa with cilantro and olive oil for dressing, a little sea salt, and voila, a meal I can be satisfied with. I guess my (somewhat long) point is, in the beginning this diet can seem daunting, but over time it gets easier. Lest I discourage anyone from the complexity of the recipes, let me tell you, I have not found many cookbooks with better ones. It is hard to believe that something so healthy can taste so darn good.

4) Of course, the results - I almost guarantee you that if you follow this diet, you will lose weight. It takes some effort, but it has been ultimately more satisfying than other diets that I've tried. It has been easier and I have felt better on this than on any other diet I've tried, and I've tried a lot, from going Vegan, to Atkins, to raw foods, you name it. I am back on it, and after being on it again for a few weeks, it makes me wonder why I ever stopped.

Cheers, and good luck

Weight-Loss

This book is really good for people with Inflammatory problems. It's a way of life not just a weight-loss program.

Awesome results if you have time and $$

Awesome diet! You receive so much information if you actually read his book. His supplements are great and so are the skin creams. I bought his Neuropeptide Facial Conformer and it is awesome.
Pros- If you do all 3 parts to what he says, you will look and feel 10 years younger. You will lose 1/2lb per day.

Cons-This diet is costly, and quite time consuming. Nothing is for free, however! The NPFC that I wrote of above is $600.00.

I love all of Dr. Perricone's books.
His understudy, Ester Blum has a super book out that I recommend, Eat Drink and be Gorgeous. She is so sweet, and is always available to answer questions for you at his NYC office.

Oh, yeah. I was 30lbs overweight, and kept it off for 3 years now.

Thanks so much Dr. Perricone!
