In The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet, the father of the Inflammation Theory of Aging reveals the role of internal microinflammations, 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 <p clear=all> <span class="h1">Amazon.com Exclusive Video Watch Dr. Perricone introduce his new book in high or low bandwidth. <table align=left cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width=350> <td align="left" valign="center"> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/books/a-plus/perricone.jpg" border=0 align=top> <p clear=all> <span class="h1">A Letter From Dr. Perricone Fall Back into Smoother, Radiant Skin and a Slimmer Shape: Anti-Inflammatory Foods for a New You This Season << As the golden days of summer draw to a close, renewed demand of career, family, school and related activities accelerate the pace of life. How can we avoid stress-related weight gain, keep our skin radiant and youthful, maintain energy to fulfill all of our commitments and enjoy a sense of well being? The answer is as close as your next meal! Avoid foods that are sugary and starchy (sugar, breads, pasta, desserts, snack foods, etc.). Foods made with sweeteners and/or flour are pro-inflammatory and cause spikes in our blood sugar and insulin levels. This will cause your body to store, rather than burn fat. They will also rob you of your youth, beauty, energy and mental acuity. These foods also cause a rise and then drop in serotonin, the ‘feel-good’ hormone, leaving you depressed. Choose foods that are anti-inflammatory—foods that are high in anti-oxidants, nature’s anti-inflammatories, which include brightly colored fruits and vegetables. Also, foods high in anti-inflammatory omega 3 essential fatty acids, such as wild Alaskan salmon, (my favorite) and other cold water fish, including sardines, anchovies, herring, trout, halibut, as well as flax seed and walnuts. These foods will cause you to rapidly lose body fat, maintain muscle mass, give you mental and physical energy and keep your mood elevated. Just the ticket to handle the busy days of autumn—and ensure that we look our best, with energy to spare, as the holiday season approaches. >>--Nicholas V. Perricone, MD
