Product Description
From Amazon
Perricone's clear explanation about the adverse effects of inflammatory foods persuasively argues for shunning destructive, low-fat favorites (including watermelon, carrots, and bagels) and "culinary horrors" like pizza, pasta, and beef. Better to eat anti-inflammatory choices (those with a glycemic index of 50 or less) like salmon, halibut, and trout. While the book's mega list of recommended supplements is a bit hard to swallow (literally and figuratively), the supportive information Perricone supplies about each is certainly helpful.
Another detailed grocery list--this time for topical anti-inflammatories--addresses skin care, and his wrinkle-free fitness plan promotes flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. Finally, a handful of savory recipes offers respite to those who only know how to broil. So, despite all the salmon (and the angry kids whose parents have purged their high-glycemic kitchens), Perricone's prescription doesn't sound fishy at all. --Liane Emory Thomas --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Get a healthy glow in 3 days.,
By
This review is from: Perricone Prescription The (Hardcover)
This book is pretty much about eating clean, low glycemic carbs and healthy fats. Too many of the wrong foods (bad carbs, salt, sugar) cause inflammation (insulin spike) and cause tissues to become irritated (hold water, puffiness). After following the Three-Day Nutritional Face Lift Menu(without the supplements) my face isn't puffy when I wake, my eyes aren't bloodshot and my skin is J.Lo luminious. LOTS of supplements are prescribed which to "make it easy for you..." he sells overpriced supplements on his website at the hefty price tag of $195 for 45 days. This is a good diet to follow if you are do Body-for-LIFE, South Beach or Atkins. I can't argue that its a bad plan. The recipes are very simple, clean and delicious. Can get expensive, but if you live near a Trader Joe's you shouldn't have too much of a problem. The program can easily be summed up below -- he posts this on his website. Or try the eDiets.com version which is very simple to follow. The Three-Day Menu Wake Up Breakfast Lunch Mid-afternoon snack Dinner Before-bedtime snack

TURNING BACK THE CLOCK,
By
This review is from: The Perricone Prescription Cd (Audio CD)
Through Dr. Nicholas Perricone Perricone millions have become familiar with such scientific names as peptides and neuropeptides, which he maintains give new life to skin and hair, aid in heart health, and even decrease the risk of certain forms of cancer."Wrinkled, sagging skin is not the inevitable result of growing older," Dr. Perricone has declared. "It's a disease, and you can fight it. You can look your best, feel your best, and enjoy beautiful skin and optimum health every day of your life, provided you start right now. And you don't need expensive, invasive plastic surgery to do it." The host of several well-watched PBS programs, Perricone's credentials are impressive: a degree in Medicine from Michigan State University, an internship in Pediatrics at Yale University School of Medicine, and certification by the American Board of Dermatology. After more than two decades of study Dr. Perricone emphatically declares that "a high protein, low carbohydrate diet full of salmon, fresh blueberries, cantaloupe and spring water can help slow and even reverse the aging process." In other words the clock can be turned back. Is there an accompanying product line? Of course. Among his best selling items are his "Advanced Face Firming Activator," long a favorite of beauty editors and celebrities, and "Ceramic Skin Smoother,"a proprietary finishing serum treatment formulated by Dr. Perricone that helps to protect against the visible effects of environmental stresses while preparing your face for makeup" Similar in tone to his later books, Perricone's offers pretty straight forward stuff, a bit like a lecture. Robin Webb gives an able, distinct reading. - Gail Cooke

Great Diet If You Can Afford It!,
By denton welch "booksandthings" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Perricone Prescription The (Hardcover)
The book makes perfect sense, however, the diet itself is expensive, boring and not practical for the majority of people. I love fish especially Alaskan Salmon. The New Seasons market sells it for $19.99 per pound. I purchased a little sliver for $9.00 and it was delicious, but hardly filling. Eating salmon or any wild organic fish as often as the Doctor prescribes would be cost prohibitative for most people unless they're Oprah! If you look at the diet, you will notice that there is hardly enough food for a man to get through the day. I don't need to lose weight, so would have to double the intake. Maybe a woman trying to lose weight would benefit...but a man? Also, the combinations of the foods are odd if not downright gross. An afternoon snack consisted of cottage cheese, 4 black olives and 4 endive spears. Yuck! Also, be prepared to never drink anything except water and green tea. Bottom line...if you are rich, a woman trying to lose weight and someone not easily turned off by repetative very small portions, then this diet may work for you. There must be a better way!
