Goodbye, sugary cereal
Avoid high-glycemic foods such as bread, bagels, pizza, pasta, potatoes, and sugary cereal , all of which can lead to inflammation, a cause of aging, in the skin.
In contrast, foods high in protein, in particular, wild salmon, has anti-inflammatory effects. Dr. Perricone recommends avoiding farmed, non-organic salmon because he believes they are filled with chemicals, unlike Wild Alaskan salmon.
For ideal effect, you must eating salmon twice a day as part of your 3 day anti-inflammatory routine. The DMAE, astaxanthin and essential fatty acids in the salmon will help eliminate puffiness, re-contour, firm your jaw line, and increase youthful radiance.

Excellent and very nutritious! It works well for me because I love salmon. This 3 day diet is my monthly routine. 2 years ago I tried Dr Perricone’s 28 day diet. Actually 28 days rolled into 4 months of the diet. I lost 8 kilos and I’m keeping those kilos off. It was challenging but worth every penny. I have no wrinkles, no facial or body sagging; my facial and body skin is smooth, soft, plump and clear ; many people think that I’m 32 but I’m 44. So give this diet a go and you’ll see the difference. All the best.
i live near the fish markets in sydney and this is the perfect reason to improve my skin and enjoy an abundance of seafood.
Dr Perricone is way—Wiser than me! He does not call his 3-day Nutritional face Lift a “DieT” He knows that people will not stay on a diet for all the health in the world. But after going on his 3-Say Diet”, I can proclaim that not only does this 3-Day Salmon based way of eating, Rejuvenate your body, it Transforms it! (I admit the way my mother made Salmon with Olive oil and onions, fried in a pan, was so good. but, when i went on Perricone Way. I encouraged my Mom to come aboard.My asthmatic money was resistant, but she felt so much better on the 4th day!! My arthritic cousin fought me all the way, about the same food for 3 days. The fourth day she was up in her garden tending to her plants!(she was so ill her children bought the list of food Perricone suggested. Listen, be “Wise” like “thewisestwomanintheworld” Eat the Salmon and everything else in the morning:You will feel “Delicious!”
I think that I would be too full if I ate everything it’s reccomended. I am not particular about fish in the morning. I can deal with the eggs, but not three.
Just turning 54 and noticed a big change in my skin. As a youth was really into getting tan however did not use sun screen. I have the skin type that burns prior to tanning. As a result I really began to notice discoloration and fine lines and wrinkles. I decided to try Dr. Perricone’s skin care regimem in November 2010, since then I have noticed a great improvement in my skin! I am now ready to take it to the next level with Dr. Perricone’s diet. With all I know about food and nutrition, I am confident that this food plan will contribute to my goal of health and wellness. It’s never too late. I have a feeling that I’m on my way to looking and feeling better than ever before!
i am an incredibly compliant consumer!! i will use, follow instructions and have a huge network of friends, clients. will spread the word to many contacts if this is effective!!
I love salmon for breakfast.
It became a staple when I eliminated sugar and limited my starch intake. I eat little gluten free grain as I have Celiac disease.
Another way to enjoy salmon is to take a can of wild Sockeye (about 113g drained) and add a squeeze of fresh lemon and a clove of pressed garlic. Mix to combine.
Mash a half Hass avocado (about 56g) and spread on a roasted Nori sheet then top with salmon mixture and roll.
Slice and enjoy.
Great alongside some steamed asparagus or broccoli.
This also works well with fresh salmon, smoked salmon, trout or tuna using lime instead of lemon.
Salmon 3 time per day for 3 days is a way too much for me. And breakfast is too heavy too. I would go with eggs OR oatmeal for breakfast, poached/boiled skinless chicken breast OR salmon for dinner.
I am always looking to try products that can keep me away from botox!
How informative!!! I think I will start tomorrow.
