Amazon.com Review
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 Amazon.com Exclusive Video

• Great, But Not Just For Weight Loss 23 September, 2008
I've maintained a low carb diet for many years to deal with diabetes as well as some other issues. The Perricone weight loss diet is not just healthy for weight loss, but for improving health, in my opinion. It is a lower carb type of eating plan, but it has an emphasis on eating foods that contribute to longevity. It's anti-inflammatory and it's excellent for bringing blood sugar under control as well. For me it's proved to be a fantastic resource and a healthy lifelong diet.

• Does It Work? Yes, But There Are Some Cons 09 February, 2009
I purchased this book because I tried everything to get rid of that stubborn fat I had on my belly and top of my hips and my back. I tried several other diets but they did not work for me. I am not overweight but have a slowing metabolism (I think) as I am coming up to 40 and have those problem areas. I wanted to lose 10-15 pounds for summer. I have to say, I am on day 7 of the diet and it DOES work for weight/fat loss. I have already notcied a nice reduction of belly fat and my pants are very loose. I don't think it has done a lot for the back fat (?) but that is hard to gauge. I have not noticed any change/benefits to my skin though as the book/diet implied. So, all in all IT REALLY WORKS. The CONS. It is a REALLY hard diet for me to follow. I do not love fish and it is heavy on fish (especially wild salmon). I also do not like a ton of veggies and the ones I do like are the ones you have to avoid (potatoes, corn). I also am having a heck of a time trading in my diet pop (even the ones with Sucralose) for green tea (gag). The diet is also VERY restrictive on carbs. I love carbs (all kinds of breads, pastas) and these are a no-no. Even whole grain ones are a no-go on this diet. : ( I am also missing my best fried- sugar (that is probably why I needed the diet in the first place though). BUT one good thing is that after days without sugar, many things (like plain yogurt with fresh fruit on top) tasted so much sweeter! Because of everything I have had to give up, the diet is leaving me pretty cranky and craving a lot of stuff. I vowed to give it a week and reevaluate. At this point, I think I am going to stay on it but do 6 days on 1 day off then repeat. The day off will hopefully let me get the cravings off my mind and keep me in the game until the cheat day comes again! The other con about the book is that it gives you a diet and recipes for 15 days. What I wish it did was give you alternates. There are several of his recipes and snacks that I do not like and I just switched them myself with ones from other days, BUT I think there could be many more combinations not listed that would fit in the diet perfectly fine. I just wish he would have put more time into the actual diet and recipe portion of the book!!! Soooo, if you want to lose weight- this diet book WILL DELIVER. Just be prepared (if you are like me) to be a *itch while you are losing that weight!

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.
