Many have already tried Dr. Perricone’s 3-day diet and do claim it is a facelift on a plate. The famous dermatologist and anti-aging guru laid out this diet program on the Oprah Winfrey Show and now there are a lot of believers out there.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone designed the food combinations to counteract inflammation and the effect is looking like you had a subtle facelift. The kind of inflammation targeted by the Perricone 3-day diet is chronic inflammation - as opposed to acute inflammation from a sprain or other injury.
As we age, we tend to get this kind of over-all inflammation that does not have very noticeable symptoms, and yet it is responsible for most of the effects of aging on our bodies and skin. According to Dr. Perricone, chronic inflammation is aggravated by the kinds of food we eat.
The Perricone 3-day diet is a carefully selected meal plan composed of foods that prevent this kind of inflammation. The diet also limits insulin, which is another thing that can drastically age people. Since this diet is composed of generally healthy, low calorie food, you will lose weight as a bonus.
The diet has to be followed exactly as prescribed for best results. So stick to the precise food combinations - nothing more, nothing less. It is also important that you stay on the diet no longer than the prescribed three days.
