Perricone Diet

I accidently clicked the 2nd star and gave this a bad review. I meant to give a 5. I lost weight, had energy to exercise and felt great. I’d do it for longer if I liked salmon more… !

I have done this 3 day diet on and off for several years now. Whenever I’m feeling that I’ve overdone it and need to be good to myself I head to the supermarket for my ingredients which I’ve rather tragically memorized so I can pick up anytime I like. I have so much more engergy by the beginning of day 2 EVEN though I cheat and have one cup of coffee in the morning still (Sorry Dr Perricone the headaches are too bad if I don’t and I’ve tried swapping green tea but it just isn’t the same!) I don’t do it to lose weight but ALWAYS lose 2kgs over the 3days, I’m never hungry (although do look forward to my next meal it must be said), my face looks SO much better by the end (less dark circles). Cant recommend this enough, better and cheaper than a trip to a day spa!

I tried this diet for three days and didn’t see much of a difference in my skin but lost weight- about 3 lbs. Also, I didn’t notice much of a change in energy. BUT, because of the weight loss I tried it a second time but for a longer period of time. After 5 days my skin looked better than it had in years, I also felt energized (started riding my bike to work!), I lost weight but plateaued after 4 days. I’m not sure how easy this diet would be for anybody else but I happen to LOVE salmon and have found a way to (barely) budget it into my shopping list. I took the fish oil capsules and added a multi vitamin to my daily diet but could never afford to buy Dr. Perricones products or supplements(although I’d love to try them). I’ll continue to follow this diet as often as I need it but need to look for something different for continued weight loss.

I was getting so exhausted from all the lack of sleep and bad eating. I normally eat pretty well, but that had slipped. Although, I was still eating at least 5 servings of fruit and 3 of veggies. I guess it still wasn’t enough. I am at the end of day three of the three day diet. I can’t believe how much better I feel and look. The bags under my eyes that were getting so heavy that I could feel them are nearly gone. I fell asleep at 1 A.M. last night and woke at 5:30 for work without a problem. I know, that isn’t healthy, but it is now 11:20, and I feel like I could study for another hour without a problem. I won’t because I know I need the sleep, but before this diet I was super lethargic. I was getting 6 or 7 hours of sleep and still felt like I was going to pass out by 10:30 in the morning. I am truly amazed. I did it for vanity and got much more than that. I am going to keep it up for the next couple of days. BTW, just for your info, I am a healthy, slender, and athletic build. I generally exercise 3-4 times a week. It’s not like I was eating cake for breakfast and sitting on the couch. If this works on me I can imagine what it would do for someone that doesn’t follow a “relatively” healthy lifestyle.
