Perricone Diet–Another Attempt

Right now, I’m trying out this Dr. Perricone diet. This diet doesn’t focus on weight loss alone. It’s about looking and feeling younger. Whatever that means. I’m just interested in slimming. It’s not a cheap diet to go into. For one, you have to eat salmon everyday. I don’t even like fish. But since I wanna give this a try without sacrificing my budget, I’ll settle for tuna. It’s an anti-inflammatory diet that you lose the weight and wrinkles all by eating salmon and taking supplements of all kinds…omega-3, ALA, carnitine, chromium, DMAE, maitake mushroom etc…I already bought some of them but I still have to get some more like the GLA, CLA and acetyl L-carnitine. Didn’t even know that there is more than one kind of carnitine.

This is a 14-day diet but I’m willing to extend it if I see good changes in my body and well-being. God, is it really this hard to be beautiful and glowing? Is it really that hard and EXPENSIVE?

I’ve already done the Math and it would cost me a leg and an arm just for the supplements alone. The food would have to be computed on a daily basis since it’s too much for me to take in just one sitting. But I came across this supplement which contains almost all that is needed for this kind of diet. It even has spirulina, chlorella and essential digestive enzymes. And it’s cheap. At least, I still have budget left for my beauty regimen which unfortunately, is also making a dent in my wallet.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hope this works. I’m getting tired looking in the mirror and hating what I see. I wanna go out with my friends again without having to think twice just because nothing fits anymore or if I have something good to wear. I really wanna start looking awesome again.

By the way, Manny Pacquiao won by split decision.

  1. There are so many diet plans online but not everyone will be successful on each kind. So it’s good to have many options just in case. Thanks for this informative post

  2. I am back on this diet, a couple of my friends did it about 2 years ago, and it worked really well for making your skin/hair look great , not so much for the losing weight , with the exception that you eating healthier. I got all of my supplements from GNC, with a membership , and buy the first week of the month and save $$. Dr Perricone’s products are just plain too expensive. I did this program before I got married in Sept 06 and I barely had a any breakouts or even had to wear makeup at all.
