Perricone diet basics
The Perricone diet was created by Dr Nicholas Perricone, a dermatologist, as a way to reduce the inflammation in the body and prevent ill health and ageing. Dr Perricone has written several books promoting his special anti-inflammatory diet which have been well-received.
The Perricone diet, unusually, does not focus on weight loss, rather it focuses on stabilising blood glucose levels and reducing inflammation in the body by the utilisation of:
1. Special diet that reduces inflammation
2. Supplements provided by Dr Perricone (which are promoted as a requirement for this diet to work effectively)
3. Topical anti-ageing face and body creams and lotions (which are promoted as a requirement for this diet to work effectively)
The basics of the Perricone diet are:

In his book, Dr Perricone advises that each meal or snack should consists of foods containing protein, low GI carbohydrates and essential fatty acids (EFA). Dr Perricone also advises that fresh fruit should be eaten at the end of a meal to prevent the spike in glucose release, thus triggering insulin, which can cause more fat to be stored. Dr Perricone recommends this diet (now) to be trialled for 28 days (approx 1 month), in order to demonstrate the anti-ageing effects
