Perricone 3-Day Diet: Get a Face Lift…in Your Kitchen?

A healthy, anti-inflammatory diet aids in the elimination of puffiness and increases contours and firmness. MD Perricone recommends getting some immediate benefits by following an antioxidant-rich diet for 3 days. The foundation of this diet is salmon, eaten twice a day. Wild Alaskan Salmon is beneficial to skin because it contains DMAE, astaxanthin, and essential fatty acids that increase skin’s radiance, glow, and firmness.

Read on to learn about the benefits of these components and for a menu of this breakthrough, wrinkle-free diet:


DMAE

DMAE is an anti-inflammatory nutritional substance and is also important in the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is essential to communication between nerves and muscles. For muscles to contract, acetylcholine must send the message from the nerves. Because of this, DMAE combats sagging that is associated with aging.



Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant found in marine plants, algae, and seafood. It protects cell membrane components from oxidative stress and inflammation, thereby diminishing wrinkles and providing a wealth of other benefits.


Fatty acids

Fatty acids help the body absorb nutrients from fruits and vegetables and keep cells supple. They improve memory and mood and keep skin glowing and wrinkle-free.

  8. I heard about this 3 day diet in the doctor’s office today and I was very intrigued. I want to try it right away because I have been told I have an inflamed fatty liver. That worries me because my mother has non-alcoholic cirrhosis and I dont want to end up suffering like her. I want to find a way of eating and living to get my liver back in good working order.

  9. I am a 50 year old woman who needs to get my hormones under control, this diet certainly helps.

  10. A friend from the dermatologist office (she does the chemical peels, etc) swears by this three day diet. She has recommended it to several of her clients and really noticed a difference in everyone’s skin! I plan on starting it this week!

  11. I love the Perricone Diet! It works! I have tried it in the past, and the results are stunning. I will be engaged in the 3 Day Diet, again, for the next 3 days and I know it will be instant gratification. It is an anti-inflamatory program that makes you look better and feel better. I would love to be a Perricone tester!
    Thank you Dr. Perricone!

  12. I am a 57 year old African American woman.I bought Dr Perricone’s book because I really want to lose weight. But as life went on I never tried the diet. But now I see that he also has a 3 day diet. I’m going to try it starting this weekend. I know I can follow it for 3 days a month. I would most certainly love to become a Perricone tester and tell you about my success. Thanks

  13. I tried the 3-Day diet before, and my face looked AWESOME. It was smooth, even toned, my eyes looked brighter, and the huge pores on my nose were gone. I felt very energetic, enough to make me want to exercise. I am doing it again, though I would love to be able to do it with the supplements and really rock the results! I love defying gravity! Please pick me!

  14. I really want to try this diet I love salmon and want to see for myself what it does for my skin.

  15. I am 70 years old, Breast Cancer survivor, due to a Thyroid problem, I have gained some weight. This 3 days diet, should be wonderful to regain my health and lose much needed weight. I try to eat healthy, but apparently, I have been doing it in the wrong combination of foods.

    I am looking forward to this fantastic 3 way diet.

  16. I need this diet because I am getting a crease from my nose to my mouth , a double chin, and less elasticity around my eyes.

  17. I have just finished a difficult 5 year university course, whilst having young family in tow, I look and feel like I have aged 20 years, low clarity of thought and loss of skin firmness really hit me hard. I have started the diet, and have great expectations. Please help me reverse the aging that neglect has done on my face and body.

  18. If you are at a restaurant and they have salmon on the menu, should you order it knowing that it is going to be farm raised?

  19. I saw this diet on MedTV yesterday at my doctor’s office. (The only difference is that Dr. Perricone showed green tea with breakfast.) The choices of fruits and salads makes it very attractive. I am a sucker for salmon, a fish that, in my opinion, does not need anything but salt! I also love to snack on nuts! I just wonder if the “plain yogurt” could be Greek…

  20. I tried this regimen approximately 2 years ago in preparation of meeting an “old friend”. I was beautiful. Slip back into my old habits and would you beleive I am seeing that “old friend” again? So it’s the 3 day diet for the next 8 weeks.
    It works for both skin and body. Thanks Doc.

  21. I think the food will be just fine and I hope to look great in 3 days!

  22. Be sure to buy wild alaskan salmon and not farmed atlantic salmon!

  23. Went to see dr perricone at the dr oz health and happiness summit. I am an instant fan. Heading to the market to buy ingredience for this diet and will start tomorrow. Very exciting and I have total confidence in dr perricone’s expertise.

  24. Sounds good and seems there are no cards on the plan like grains or beans.

    Since all wild Salmon now has mercury wouldn’t 3 whole days be too much build up of this heavy
    metal?

  25. The anti-inflammatory diet has amazing results, however I have a hard time being consistent with anything these days….from taking my vitamins to preparing foods ahead of time. I would love to dive into this, stay motivated and be a success story. I know I could do it with a little guidance.
