Editorial Review:
Healthy, vibrant skin depends more on what you put in your cheeks than what you rub on them, says dermatologist Nicholas Perricone. In The Perricone Prescription, fresh salmon tops the list of must-eat foods for total body rejuvenation. In fact, it is the star of Perricone's "Three-Day Nutritional Face-Lift," a convincing trial run for those who are a bit hedgy about committing to his 28-day diet and his supplement, skin care, and exercise regimen.
Perricone's clear explanation about the adverse effects of inflammatory foods persuasively argues for shunning destructive, low-fat favorites (including watermelon, carrots, and bagels) and "culinary horrors" like pizza, pasta, and beef. Better to eat anti-inflammatory choices (those with a glycemic index of 50 or less) like salmon, halibut, and trout. While the book's mega list of recommended supplements is a bit hard to swallow (literally and figuratively), the supportive information Perricone supplies about each is certainly helpful.
Another detailed grocery list--this time for topical anti-inflammatories--addresses skin care, and his wrinkle-free fitness plan promotes flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. Finally, a handful of savory recipes offers respite to those who only know how to broil. So, despite all the salmon (and the angry kids whose parents have purged their high-glycemic kitchens), Perricone's prescription doesn't sound fishy at all. --Liane Emory Thomas
Most people believe that sags, bags, and wrinkles -- on the face and body -- are inevitable. many people choose to temporarily circumvent these signs of aging with surgery, chemical peels, Botox injections, or laser treatments. The good news, according to research scientist and practicing dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., is that by following a simple program of diet, exercise, and skin care you can prevent and even reverse many signs of aging.The Perricone Prescription clearly and succinctly explains the rock-solid laboratory research behind Dr. Perricone's revolutionary theories, revealing that inflammation at the cellular level, precipitated by poor nutrition, pollution, sunlight, irritating skin-care treatments, and stress, is the single most powerful cause of the signs of aging. Dr. Perricone gives you the knowledge and the tools to fight that inflammation from the inside out, while at the same time decreasing the likelihood of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and a host of other degenerative diseases.

Rating:  - Great book!! Definitely a Five Star book.
This book is awesome. I have been following the steps provided in this book and the results have been great. I even started taking the appropriate supplements and using the suggested skin care products in the book. This book informs us on the importance in eating the right foods to maintain healthy skin and body. The exercise plan is fairly simple and not overwhelming. Get this book!! You will thank yourself later.
Rating:  - Take this prescription with a healthy dose of skepticism
I read a dog book in the 70s that stated, "good coats are bred for, fed for, and cared for". Good skin in humans is much the same. Heredity plays an important part, but it's too late to fix that now. The shelves of our bathroom cabinets are laden with products to help us care for our skin (many of which are crap, but that's another book and review). The purpose of the Perricone Prescription is to provide a diet and lifestyle plan that will give you beautiful skin. Only a credulous person would ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent book, and worthwhile recommendations
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve their eating habits as well as their skin. Most of the book deals with the effect of diet and supplements on the body, and gives specific recommendations as to which foods and supplements have the greatest healthy and anti-aging benefits. As well, it also approaches the topic of aging in a very well balanced way. For instance, Perricone also stresses the important effects of exercise, sleep, skin care, and lifestyle choices on ones overall health ... Read More
Rating:  - Solid Ideas But Impractical Application for Most People
Ok...I really haven't gone insane. I saw this particular "diet" mentioned on a show I was watching about a month or so ago and the dietitian talked about how the "core" of the program is actually pretty solid but she thought, by and large the supplement and skin care regimen that he's created is "excessive" - I think she was one step away from saying it's just too much (money) to be spending and too much to be taking in terms of vitamins and other supplements. If you did everything Perricone said, you'd ... Read More
Rating: - There aren't enough words to say how WONDERFUL!!!
I am 33 and first saw Dr.Perricone on Oprah. Everyone had great results, but the patients were much older. I don't have a concern at this time with wrinkles, but my skin is glowing and I rarely need make up. I have lost 75 pounds TWICE on this diet - I used it after I had my 2 children and now I am skinny again! I eat 5 times a day on this plan and am always full!!! My friends and even strangers ask me how I look so good so often that I had to Xerox his diet and keep copies in my purse to pass out! ... Read More
