This revolutionary plan of action will empower you to firm your skin, tone your figure and improve your overall health! I have designed two weeks worth of daily plans, including menus, and suggested daily exercise. When you have finished the first fourteen days, repeat the daily plans from the beginning to complete the full, four-week program. Some of the menus indicate a range of protein serving sizes (for example 3 – 6 ounces). If you are larger, have more muscle mass and/or are physically active, you will use the higher amounts. For example, a lower amount of protein would be appropriate for a sedentary woman approximately 5’4’ tall and weighing 130 pounds.
As always, supplements are an important part of your daily routine – they keep your body supplied with essential nutrients. Click here to sign up and receive 10% off of your supplement purchases for the entire month of April.

Not a fish eater! Are there any substitutes?
Dear Janice,
We would suggest substituting meat and poultry with: wild Alaskan salmon, canned salmon, rainbow trout, anchovies, sardines, shrimp, farmed tilapia and sea bass to name a few.
You may substitute poultry with: rice, legumes, salmon, shrimp, halibut and sea bass. Dr. Perricone’s #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Perricone Prescription, has a detailed list of approved foods and those to stay away from.

Thank you for a plan with receipes. It is the only way we can stay focused on the idea of losing weight. I have used your face products for a long time and am very pleased. My 73 yr. old face looks pretty darn good, thanks to your products.
I’ve been trying for 6 days to do just this! Perfect timing. I am going to get the supplements with my 10% coupon. I think those are one of the key components of this program. I have a few facial products which I will also use but I have wanted to try as much of the 3-tier program and this ismy chance. I even went to Facebook in order to participate. I am excited! Thankyou.

I have personally found meditation to greatly reduce my levels of stress and make me feel much happier. I use brain wave tapes for myself — I have a post about the program I use below — but whatever method of program you choose, meditation is great for the body and the mind! — Apollo.

thanks, I’ll give it a try
I’m looking forward to this challenge. This looks like something I can hopefully do.
i love you dr perricone!
I, in fact, followed the 28-day programme from the “Perricone promise” last year.
I can say that my blood tests showed a significant decrease in my inflammation. Everyone commented upon the improved appearance of my skin and hair. However, the bit of energy I had managed to regain before going on the diet left and I felt extremely tired. Also, my migraines worsened such that I had to go back on my prescription medication. I cannot undertsand the reason because the diet plan made perfect sense and the blood tests certainly showed improvement. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Susan
Dear Dr.
I hope this note finds you wells, am writing because I like to know for how long should we work out daily? Thank you, with appreciation, Cheers
Your Fan#1 / Vanessa Vilchez:.
I am looking at Dr. Perricone’s 28 days meal plan. I have a question..a person who doesn’t eat any kind of meat(such as Turkey, but eats fish and vegetable and fruits) wants to follow his menu, what he can eat in the place of meat?.
Thanks.
Sara

I am looking forward to the 28-day program. I have done your 3-day and loved it! I have been eating more salmon and fresh fruits and vegetables. Excited about having the menus set before me–will make shopping alot easier.
nice!!!
I am allergic to eggs and dairy. Any suggestions for substitutes when they are on the menu?
The 28 day diet looks terrific to me! I will be starting tomarrow after I go to the grocery store. I would love to shed a few pounds & feel better inside & out! Thank you for the meal guide & an opportunity to come to New York to be pampered & better educated about caring for my skin!
I have learned so much from this site..Thanks..
Question – Is green tea far better than black tea? I’m addicted to Earl Grey and English breakfast tea.
I just received email on the challenge, which I am more than excited to take!!!!!!!! I use the skin care already, and I wanted to start a body regimien for 2010, and this really helps set it into gear!! I have wanted to travel, and visit New York for pretty much my adult life, and here is a way to hopefully get to, and look better when I do!!
Whoops! Forgot to ask my question! I found how to sign up, but don’t know where to submit pictures and how? And, is it too late? I just received the email on it, and it started TODAY!
Annette,
Due to the great response the date for entering the contest has been extended to Friday, January 15th. Please visit the Perricone MD Fan Page for complete updated contest rules.
Good luck!
This is fantastic. I have been a fan of Dr. Perricone’s work for a while now, and I have had the chance to try the 3-day plan, as well as several Perricone MD skin care products (the Amine Complex is my fave – though I am in my early 30s) and now I started taking his supplements to give them a try.
I’ll get everything ready and start tomorrow! I’d love to win and tell my readers all about it!
can you substitute some fruit for another and can you substitute white fish for salmon?
LaVerne,
There are several options. Take a look at Dr. Perricone’s suggested shopping list http://www.perriconemd.com/category/perricone+lifestyle/shopping+list.do
If you have any additional questions please let us know, we are here to help!
I think the Perricone diet plan works really well. I follow it rather loosely, and, even so, I still find that I am satisfied throughout the day. One of my big problems is that melon makes me physically ill. What is a good alternative fruit that has a similar nutritional profile to melon?
Take a look at Dr. Perricone’s suggested shopping list for some alternatives. Hope this helps.
http://www.perriconemd.com/category/perricone+lifestyle/shopping+list.do
I lost 20 pounds in 2009, which I have kept off following Dr. Perricone’s advice in his books & DVD. Looking forward to shedding 5 more pounds off my body and years off my face!
Thanks, we’ll all be winners.
breakfast is way, way too big and most of the foods are way too expensive for a single woman on a budget – work in finance company and no raise again for 3rd year — and I really HATE olives and also lunch meats . . . pls suggest substitutes for those and other really awful foods
Ok, can’t find the recipe for Lentil Soup. Checked the recipes but nothing there. I imagine the Dr. has a recipe for it?????
thank you
Mary Kay,
Dr. Perricone to the rescue!
There is a recipe for Lentil soup on the Perricone Recipe site – I have attached the link to make it easy to find for you to find http://www.perriconerecipes.com/?s=Lentil+Soup
Enjoy.
I’m trying to sign-up and can’t find link. I became a fan on face book. Printed diet, bought the food, got the pictures ready to go and can’t find the link to sign-up
Gina,
Once you are on Facebook you simply upload your pictures. There is a tab on the Perricone MD titled “Start Fresh” and it gives all contest guidelines and rules.
Good luck!
I work from 8-3 pm, no lunch time.
What can I do to accommodate the diet to my schedule?
Is there one place to go to find approved substitutes for foods one doesn’t eat? Specifically the cottage cheese, tomatoes and avacado?

I am not trying to loose weight but would love the other benefits to this 28 day challenge. Could I still do this without loosing a lot of weight?
I’m excited to try this challenge with my mom!
I am 61 yr. old and just been diagnosed w. Lupus. I am 5′ 3″ and weigh 170 lb. so I do need to lose weight which has been difficult for me to do. Just finished reading The Perricone Promise. About 1 month ago, I started changing my forms of eating and pretty much have been eating the Rainbow Foods so I have no problem w. that. I want to get started on the 28 day program but in the book it states to Start the day w. 1 tsp peptide functional food powder w. water. I can’t find this on your site. Also the book states to apply neuropeptide cream to face and neck. Which product is that on your site? Do you recommend the entire supplements that are priced at $218 plus the others priced at $140. I currently take a natural product called Zaflmend for inflammation, Calcium w. D, Glucosamine and Chloridtin, and Wild Alaska Salmon Oil. Do I need to stop these items and start with yours or take all of them together? Your expertise would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much!!! Carolyn
I am taking the 28-day challenge and find myself very hungry and sometime shaky between meals. The past couple of days I have eaten a handful of almonds or macadamia nuts to hold myself over until my next meal. Am I completely sabotaging myself by doing this?

I like the choices and very much believe in the ideas of anti-inflammatory diet, but as a type 1 diabetic, can’t imagine living with such a little amount of carbs. Especially before I exercise (and I do about 5xweek), I really must have a 20-30 gram serving of carb. Any ideas of how to manage with less, as per the diet above?
