Dr. Nicholas Perricone wrote the book "The Perricone Prescription", and it is an anti-wrinkle diet. This is a 28-day program, which helps to reduce inflammation by omitting refined sugars, saturated fats and other high-glycemic carbohydrates from the diet.
Dr. Perricone's Prescription is particularly good for women who have been living with inadequate nutrition. Adding lean protein to the diet increases metabolism, and has a number of other benefits.
As a trial, the diet provides a meal plan for three days. The following menu should be followed for all three days, and protein should be eaten first. The salmon should be wild, or at the least organic.
