So excited to begin the Perricone diet! Did it a year ago and it works! You follow a 3 day meal plan, which consists of "real" food (not packaged) and are constantly eating. The weight will be shed if you follow it...I promise. Began this morning. Difficult to eat the entire breakfast. Literally didn't want to eat any more. You must do it. At at 6:50am. Wasn't hungry until 10:30AM. Walked by the teacher lounge at 9am and had no desire whatsoever to eat a slice of the bunny cake on the table. Not thinking of ANY food at all. Just stuffed to the bone. Wait until you try it. Here's the plan: go to the grocery store and purchase all the items needed. If time is an issue, then make your meats the night before as you make your dinner and pack them in a lunchbox in the fridge so all your daily meals and snacks are ready to grab and go in the morning. That is a must for me!
The Pericone diet is supposed to help your cells lose inflamation and help you lose weight by eating real foods. We all have imflamation when we eat inflamatory foods. Once you begin eating non-inflamatory foods like salmon, avacados, nuts, fruits, vegetables, you will be amazed how much thinner you look and feel. Imagine there is inflamation in every cell in your body. Then imagine it all goes away. In my mind, it is like you "deflate." Your body becomes what it should be.
