    Tranformational nutrition book
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2016*

Ignore the part about weight-loss in the title, this book is about so much more than that. Dr. Perricone presents a more detailed view of his anti-inflammatory diet and lays out the science behind it. I have had this book a few weeks, and since I have read it, I have completely stopped eating cookies at Panera and other sugary treats. I do eat dark chocolate, but look for the 70% cocoa or better. I have switched from sugar to stevia, and I have added a host of supplements into my routine. I never thought I would be able to just quit sugar and most refined carbohydrates, but he lays out the damaging effects they have on the body and that did it for me. I was so impressed by what I learned that I bought another copy for a friend.What I like most about this book is that he has groups of foods that makes it easy to mix and match. If you don't like something, there are alternatives listed. He explains exactly what is good about the food on the lists. I find it's easier to stick to a new diet if I understand why I'm supposed to be doing something. This is not a diet for the short-term, this is about making a permanent change for the rest of your life. I have his other books, too, and each one has enough different information to make getting them all worthwhile. You don't have to follow his recipes; he has fourteen days of suggested menus, but like most diet books, you would be cooking like a short-order cook if you actually follow it to the letter. I suggest starting out with substitutions of healthier things into the diet you have, and gradually trying out recipes with other items off the lists until you have made over what you eat on a daily basis. Dr. Perricone does not recommend refined carbs but is not low-carb by any means. I get headaches if I eliminate too many carbs, and he recommends oatmeal, barley, buckwheat, etc in the diet. Some grocery stores carry whole groats and you can definitely find them here on Amazon. Rice isn't on his list, but I have started making it with 1/2 quinoa and 1/2 rice when I need it to go with an entree. If the food is spicy enough, I can sub in the quinoa 100%. Make the changes you can at your own pace and don't make it more complicated than it is. He doesn't really go into percentages of carbs, fats, and proteins or even calories. The main thing is to quit eating the things that damage the body down to the cellular level and start eating real foods that build it up.I still have a ways to go, but I lost about five pounds after taking the recommended fish oil and changing my eating habits. I started exercising again too, but hadn't budged the scale in a long time. I didn't gain but didn't lose either, and this is a game-changer for me. Dr. Perricone advocates getting plenty of protein, especially cold-water fish. I'll admit I've never been a huge fan of fish, but I am trying out a few recipes from this and his other books, and some of the salmon recipes are good. (My cats are hoping I stick with this!) He explains that you need plenty of protein in your diet to preserve muscle while losing weight, and to prevent the face from looking haggard and saggy during the weight loss process. He doesn't mention consuming whey protein concentrate to help boost protein, but it's definitely an option, and is sold by many vendors here on Amazon & elsewhere. You can eat eggs, Greek-style yogurt, chicken, etc if you don't like fish. He recommends beans and lentils, and it's hard to get cheaper than that at the grocery store.One thing I like about him is that he has been a weight lifter, he is preaching to the choir about protein intake when it comes to lifters. Many of the supplements he recommends are probably familiar to anyone who is into weight training.  I found I already had a few of them, although I had fallen off the wagon when it came to taking them regularly. Now I do because I understand exactly how they benefit the body due to his detailed explanations. Most of us who exercise know that diet is probably the biggest component of success (or failure) to achieve your goals, and I believe that the advice in this book is the key to transforming one's body for the better. The other component is exercise, and for that I recommend either of Mike Matthew's books "Bigger Leaner Stronger" or "Thinner Leaner Stronger", because lifting heavy will get you the rest of the way to your goals. Pretty much all you need to get in the best shape ever is found in these two books.I have seen some criticisms of this book as being too expensive to follow; it's not if you're creative. I found bags of frozen salmon fillets and 6-packs of salmon at BJ's club, and veggies can be bought in bulk, too. Even Walmart is carrying more organic foods and I know they have canned wild-caught salmon, just not the fancy brand he recommends; the point is to eat real food and get away from processed crap. I recommend getting the canned salmon if you're starting out because it's easy to add to a salad or omelet. There are loads of recipes online for preparing the foods he recommends if you don't like the recipes in his books. As for the supplements, the main one to start with is the fish oil, and there are plenty of vendors right here on Amazon who sell it at reasonable prices and the warehouse clubs probably have it, too. Start with just that one. ALA might be a good choice as the number two supplement you get. If you wish to add on, consider buying a Capsule Machine and empty capsules to fill with bulk supplement powders, again sold here on Amazon. Depending on the size of Capsule Machine, you might have to check other vendors by googling it. If you buy the bulk powders, you are not paying for fillers and will be surprised at how much smaller the capsules will be. If you are a brave soul, skip the capsules and measure out the fraction of a teaspoon of powder into juice or a smoothie. Some of the supplements are strong-smelling and nasty-tasting so definitely consider making your own capsules. If you have other family members or friends who want in on this, splitting a bulk pack may be the way to go for economic reasons.If you choose to find a way to eat more nutritious foods, more protein, and try to incorporate some of his supplements, you will see positive changes in your health quickly. I have been incorporating more protein and veggies even before starting this program, and my hair and nails grow faster now. My skin has been looking much better since I started all the fish oil on this program and I have lost a few pounds. I have noticed that the numbers on the scale go down as long as I am faithful to the diet, and they stall or go up if I fall off the wagon and eat fast food (which is enough to not let it happen again!) I believe it's better on the budget to stay out of restaurants and instead using that money to buy good food and prepare it at home, and can probably help pay for some of the supplements. Just do what you can, because this is for the long-run and even a few little changes add up.

    I repeatedly go back to his books!
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015*

With this book included, I have two of his books for weight loss, and although I modify his menu to simpler plans and recipes to suit my budget and limited cooking skills  I use them to set the course for my nutrition plan. The first time I used his  plan was nearly eight years ago, immediately following some serious surgery which hindered my mobility for several months. I lost right at twenty-five pounds before I was back into the swing of exercising again. It was really quite easy to follow and, I basically tweaked it to meet my needs for feeding my family breakfast and dinner. They would then they eat what they wanted for lunch and snacks.  They lost some weight as well.  Fast forward several years, and I want to clean up my diet again, so I purchased this copy for my Kindle.  It's very similar in information, but I wasn't expecting any major changes, and I would hope that something that worked so well the first time wouldn't require many changes!  I recommend this book as guide, not the  final decree on menu planning and supplements.  I recently pulled this from my library and once again I am getting my eating back on track.

    Good Information
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2007*

I recently took my college age daughter to the endocrinologist, who recommended we pick up this book.  My daughter is a good 70 lbs overweight.  She has had a weight problem all her life, even as a toddler.  I have taken her to many doctors all of whom told me she would outgrow her weight issues.  She is now 20 and that never happened.  She eats reasonably well and we have consequently done a lot of research on nutrition and of course excercise.  The doctor explained that her issue may well be that her body does not metabolize carbs and\or sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup which is in a great deal of the easy processed foods that you buy at the grocery store.  She explained that my daughter needed to find a lifestyle that incorporates whole natural foods.  She suggested this book, and commented that we needed to apply the idea of what the book is presenting, without buying into the idea that we needed all the supplements and such. The only supplement she recomended was a good fish oil capsule. She started 3 weeks ago and has lost 15 lbs.  Having said all this, I guess the idea here is to incorporate more whole natural foods into your lifestyle and leave the processed and fast foods alone.  This book does provide good information and gives you some meal plans to follow.  Keep in mind that you may have to substitute items at times, therefore making this your eating plan and one that you may follow all your life.  I think any book that encourages readers to eat correctly and not follow a fad is a good book.  Not only has she lost weight, she is more energetic and her moods have improved dramatically.  No cravings after the first week.
