Perricone Prescription
Most suggestions are sound, but lots of supplementation may be too costly.
BACKGROUND
In just a brief 28 days, the Perricone Prescription can help reduce many unwanted health conditions and diseases. This program is supported by science. When you reduce inflammation at the cellular level, you're able to affect heart disease, arthritis, aging, cancer, diabetes and obesity. Who knew you could fight off fat, disease and even wrinkles with one shot?
The Perricone Prescription, developed by dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, has found that cells always showing signs of inflammation when disease is present. His anti-inflammatory diet is effective because he shows how everything you eat is a contributing factor to your unwanted health issues.
Inflammation is the result of increased blood sugar that causes chemical reactions in the body. Sugar and high glycemic carbs will quickly fuel these reactions. The Perricone Rx states that protein will work to repair these damaged cells. But he warns that not all proteins are beneficial. Some actually promote inflammatory conditions. Dr. Perricone suggests removing pork, veal, lamb and beef from your diet will help you avoid these harmful proteins, and additionally, lose some unwanted pounds.
FOOD & RECIPE
On the Perricone Rx plan, you'll consume three meals a day, a mid-day and after-dinner snack, as well as drink no less than 8-10 glasses of water each day. Meals and snacks are required to offer a balanced mix of protein, fat (like omega-3 and -6) and carbs.
EXERCISE
The Perricone Rx recommends consistent physical exercise and an anti-inflammatory supplement to establish a healthy lifestyle.
EXPENSE
The diet is available for a fee from eDiets.com. Typical subscription is about $18/month.
PRO
If Dr. Perricone’s assertions are correct, you have the added bonus of better skin, something not addressed in most diets.
CON
WebMd states on its website that "while Perricone makes some big claims, his diet is strict, costly, and largely unproven."
CONCLUSION
Eating more fish, fruits, and vegetables and having frequent sensible meals are all good suggestions. But it’s heavy on supplementation and seems to make assertions that many nutritionists disagree with.

apple-a-day: My skin is GLOWING!! Its true about the salmon, thank you Dr. Perricone!
Heidi41: I really loved the way my skin also really cleared up and how good I felt with following the Perricone diet but felt it lacked recommendations and motivation for exercise, anyone else feel that way?
Gma Clara: I'd say the exercise is assumed. That should be a part of any diet and it says that "consistent Phys exer" is recommende. My gym offers a free consult w/ a trainer for signing up- that's what i did and it's a greaet plan just for me.
love: The perricone diet is the best diet out!! my skin went from atrophic to perfect and iget compliments all the time. But, you must follow the diet plan for the 30 days and more in order to get great results like mine!!!
