| Summary: Online diets are the latest additions to weight loss programs. This series of articles looks at some of the more common online diet programs and suggests which ones are appropriate for whom based on our research and feedback from our readers. We discussed briefly the main elements of online dieting programs. In this part we will review Dr. Perricone online diet program. This diet is supposed to help you not only lose weight but it is being promoted as an anti-aging diet. It is supposed to give you younger looking skin or clear skin, if you are young.
It is a healthy diet and very similar to the Mediterranean diet. It offers a great variety of foods and many menu options. It is difficult to agree with everything Dr. Perricone says in his books, but basically his diet is a good program to learn how to eat healthy and you will not go hungry nor spend your day in the kitchen. This is not a diet for vegetarians or people who do not like fish.
It costs $5 a week billed to your credit card quarterly. The question here is do you need to follow the online program or just buy the book. Certainly you can follow the diet just by using the book. The online Perricone version offers the advantages of the eDiets system: customization of menus, generation of shopping list, online support groups and advice. If you are serious about following this diet and you have limited time, the online Perricone diet is a good choice. What if you decide to follow the Mediterranean diet instead? Indeed, that is a great option too. Here are the main elements of how to Mediterraneans eat: - A quarter of your daily intake should be unsaturated fasts (avocado, olive oil, flaxseeds, and yummy, chocolate).
- Go nutty. Yeah, eat about an ounce of nuts daily. I like almonds, cashew nuts, and walnuts.
- Fish is good, especially salmon. Take omega-3 fatty acid supplements if you can't.
- Heard of lycopene? It is an antioxidant found in tomatoes.
