From the Hardcover edition.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

I bought this book the day it came out. His anti inflammatory diet is nothing new and with no significant medical substantiation for actual weight loss. In my opinion, he wants to sell a lot of supplements and become richer. His stories are obviously made up and corny. He even looks heavy on the cover. Random House should be ashamed! The book will BOMB. People do not need to take vitamins to lose weight. They need to eat sensibly and exercise. Tell him to stick to dermatology.

I wouldn’t sink my money into this book simply on principal. I visited Dr. Perricone’s website only to find that he sells rather expensive “Cosmeticuals”….pages and pages; hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth. And his books are fairly thinly disguised “plugs” for what he sells.
I reviewed the diet and found a fraction of the same good information I found on Dr. Weil’s website and his 8 week health plan. Although I have to admit Dr. Weil also sells expensive supplements, his overall plan is a LOT cheaper, with a LOT less science based sales pitches; and a LOT more common sense. For the same reasons I don’t like this book though, I don’t purchase Weil’s stuff either.
What it all boils down to is a change in a persons’s perspective on their own health and you don’t need a lot of money so much as a lot of hard work to do that. Having tried just about every diet under the sun, I have a well-honed talent for knowing salesmanship when I see it. I definitely see it here and I’m not falling for it. I hate that there are still people out there willing to cash in on the vulnerabilities of overweight people (like myself).
Kudos to Perricone for finding a way to make a lot of money and make a success of his business. I respect him for that. But I’m not going to join in filling his coffers.
