Now, this is pretty unique. Dr. Perricone has developed a diet that will help your outsides look better by treating you from the inside. By following this Three-Day plan, Dr. Perricone says that you will notice a reduction in puffiness in the face and neck, increased facial contour, a more firm jaw line, all while giving skin a more naturally healthy glow.

If you follow this for three days (no cheating), teh good Doctor says that you will see visible results! Let’s see.

Breakfast
3 egg omelet and/or 4-6 oz. grilled salmon - He does not recommend smoked salmon or lox on the three-day diet because of the salt intake
½ cup cooked oatmeal (not instant) - Cooked oatmeal is a great source of fiber and a low glycemic carbohydrate
2” wedge of cantaloupe or 1/3 cup fresh berries - Cantaloupe is very hydrating to the skin and contains important antioxidants. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries are high in antioxidants.
No Juice, No Coffee or Toast  - If you normally drink large amounts of coffee, drink black or green tea to prevent caffeine withdrawal
8 - 12 oz. of spring water

Lunch
4-6 oz. grilled salmon - Option: you can also use canned salmon and mix a little mayo and fresh squeezed lemon
2 cups green salad made with romaine lettuce or other dark leafy greens
Dressing: extra virgin olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon to taste
1 kiwi fruit or cantaloupe and berries
8 – 12 oz. of spring water

Snack
1 apple
2 oz. slice of turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds - Great source of fatty acids and folic acid

Dinner
4-6 oz. grilled salmon
green salad as described above
½ cup steamed veggies - Especially asparagus, broccoli, spinach, etc. NO root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, etc.
Cantaloupe and berries
8 – 12 oz. of spring water

Before Bedtime Snack
1 pear or apple
2 oz. slice chicken or turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds

There is just so much in this diet that I do not eat, but I challenge some of you to take the test. If you like the foods on the list and would like to try the diet, please let me know so we can hear about your results.
