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.

DIET and NUTRITION
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.
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.

I'm going to gush. I can swear by this diet. When it first came out, my parents both went on this plan for the full 28 days. My father, who is a diabetic, noticed an immediate improvement in his ability to control his glucose levels and he felt more healthy than he ever had. My mom also experienced the same results. Both of them also lost 30 lbs. in 28 days. They loved this diet so much they stuck to it as a regular meal plan. After their sucess, I tried it. I started seeing results within a week and others around me also saw the change. They didn't know I was on a diet. They just noticed I was looking and feeling better. I felt more energetic, clear-headed, and I also lost 45 lbs in 2 months. All of my family has now tried this program and have all experienced great results. It did improve our skin, but its bonuses of weight loss (which I credit to its "common sense" meal plan), increased metabolism (more energy), and increased brain function rank it high on my list of the many plans out there that really do work.
The Perricone Prescription is sensible, healthy eating, and I have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin. As for the supplements, i don't think they're necessary and they have gotten some questionable reviews -- I say stick to the eating plan and exercize, the results will come with patience and determination. Happy Eating and good luck for beautiful skin.
I have seen Dr Parricone seminar on PBS from time to time. The information received was good. However I can not remember the suppliments that should be taken
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!!!
My skin is GLOWING!! Its true about the salmon, thank you Dr. Perricone!
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?
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.
