In The Perricone Weight-loss Diet, the father of the Inflammation Theory of Aging reveals the role of internal micro-inflammations, caused mainly by additive-packed foods and a sedentary lifestyle, not only in accelerated aging, but also in unwanted weight gain. The good news he shares is: it is possible to slow down the clock, clear the skin, and shed the pounds by following a diet of whole foods and natural supplements, and by progressively adopting an "anti-inflammatory lifestyle", including quality sleep and stress-reducing activities (pet lovers will especially appreciate the passage on the healing power of pets.) If Dr. Perricone's division of high- versus low-glycemic index foods, and healthy (Omega-3-rich) versus unhealthy fats, doesn't especially sound like breakout news, he has to be credited for his uniquely convincing way of (re-) laying out these dietary principles, and for incorporating them into a global plan to achieve better health and weight loss. "Treat yourself well and the weight will come off," he suggests. And this anti-alarmist, anti-paternalistic, and confident delivery (he doesn't fear complimenting competitor Tammi Flynn on her sensible Three-Apple-a-Day Plan), paired with his stellar success record in the health field (The Perricone Prescription; The Perricone Promise), forces your attention. Readers will dive effortlessly into the easy-flowing chapters, from "Breaking the Inflammation-Fat Connection" to "The 10 Top Food Groups for Permanent Weight Loss" (headed up with mouthwatering wild Alaskan salmon), to Perricone's signature threefold plan, which he promises will show dramatic results in as little as 14 days. Complete with a full 14-day meal plan, detailed nutritional information for each recipe, a seafood safety guide, and a supplement and organic food retailer guide, The Perricone Weight-loss Diet will naturally find its place on the eye-level shelf of your home library.-- Nathalie Farage

One of the best "get healthy" books I've read!:
This is a brilliant book explaining how certain foods and spices react in our bodies. We have a choice how and what to eat. Dr. Perricone provides an easy-to-read and understand philosophy of health with some of the most delicious recipes! Did I mention easy and quick recipes? If you want to turn your life around, lose some weight as a bonus, and eat well - you must read this book. Thank you Dr. Perricone for a superb book filled with essential information and tools for health and happiness.
Supplements too expensive:
It's not that simple, or original. The cost of the supplements, which are the mainstay of the program, made the program prohibitive if I wanted the claimed results. I was very disappointed.
It works!:
Fabulous book, with a plan for eating, not dieting, that really works for life. Great service from Amazon seller, and a great price! Very pleased!
A must read for everyone.:
There is a lot of very thorough eating and health information in this book. I believe everyone should read it whether they need to lose weight or not. He has hit the nail on the head here. A very smart doctor who knows his stuff when it comes to nutrition. Thank you Dr. Perricone.
