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

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.

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... more info
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... more info
