The Perricone diet is a little different to most other low carbohydrate, higher protein diets, because not only are food and calories restricted, but there are various supplements and face/body care lotions and creams which are recommended, as part of the diet regime. This needs to be considered as part of the reason to try this die.

Some of the other considerations that people need to take into account before trying this diet are:

• Current clinical trial underway to determine safety over 4 years
• No longer-term studies yet completed on the safety of this diet
• Supplements are strongly advised to be taken & expesive
• Skin care lotions and creams are also recommended & expensive
• Kidney function – can become impaired over time
• Pregnant and lactating women should not try this diet
• Suitability of this diet for children is not known

“People with impaired kidney function or any other health condition should consult their doctor before trying this or any other diet”

• Organic foods can be generally more expensive than conventionally produced foods, which raises the cost of following this diet
• This diet is about following a completely holistic way of life, not just about food which may be too much for some people

• The diet may not be suitability for children

“Always seek medical advice before trying any diet, no matter how healthy the diet seems”

REFERENCES

Individual advice from a medical professional needs to be sought to ascertain if the macrobiotic is suitable for your child
