With the holidays around the corner, people are trying to get ahead of all the temptation by starting the Metabolic Diet highlighted in Forever Young. Currently, we have a group trying the diet and supplements and reporting their progress on the Perricone Facebook page.
The blogger at Mama Lifestyles is also trying the Metabolic Diet. Click here to see how she’s doing!

Have you tried the Metabolic Diet yet?
It is recomended that the coconut oil be refrigerated after opening. Is there a trick to getting it to dissolve with the rest of the shake? It’s waxy and clings to the sides of the glass. Also does it matter if it is extra virgin? thanks*
Coconut Oil does not have to be refrigerated. It is solid at room temperature. Extra Virgin cold pressed is the most desirable, high quality and pure form. Pretty much all non extra virgin varieties are harmful as they come from Copra, which is dried coconut meat. Copra is highly refined product that has been treated with high heat which alters the nutritional profile. Stick with the Virgin!
To prevent the coconut oil sticking to the sides of the cup, we recommend heating water to a boil and adding the desired amount of coconut oil into a cup and place into the water bath until the oil is liquid, but not boiling.
I am on day 8 of the Metabolic Diet, I am down 7 pounds and up on energy, clear skin, and overall increased positive outlook. I was curious what is my next step once I’ve done my 10 days 10 more days or can I try the 28 Day Diet?
So I just started today. I just have a few questions
is there a liquid egg white you reccommend?
also can you cook the egg whites or is that bad?
can you use cinnamon or any seasonings? Can you season your salmon or lentils with anything?
Use any egg whites that are pasteurized- free range is a plus. For the Metabolic Diet, do get the Metabolic Formula Supplements and try the liquid shake first. This will provide the most dramatic weight loss. The more herbs and spices the better!
Where do I find out what the overall metabolic diet plan? Not sure what book it’s from.
Hi Beth. The Metabolic Diet is found in Forever Young- but you can see the recipe on our ‘Diets’ tab on our website: http://www.perriconemd.com/category/the+doctor/diets.do
THIS PLAN IS AMAZING!!! Just finished 10 days and I’m ready to do it again! Just last night someone told me I was “glowing” (she had no idea I was on some plan). Anyway, VERY VERY pleased!
