Writing The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet is the cumulative result of decades of research into the role of inflammation in aging and age-related diseases, including obesity. In many ways this is the most exciting and revolutionary book that I have written to date. Scientists are rapidly acknowledging the role of inflammation in many diseases and chronic conditions. However, I believe this will be the first book that will clearly demonstrate how this sub-clinical, microscopic, invisible inflammation is responsible tbr a great number of metabolic problems, resulting in accelerated aging, serious health threats, unwanted weight gain,and obesity.

Consider this staggering fact: as we age, we can expect to gain.ten pounds of fat and lose five pounds of muscle each decade. In The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet, Dr. Nicholas Perricone unlocks for the first time the secret link between non-visible cell inflammation and unwanted weight gain.
Dr. Perricone shows the reader in clear, practical steps how to reverse the signs of ageing by focusing on the foods, supplements and exercises with proven ability to accelerate fat loss by increasing metabolism and building and maintaining muscle mass. Follow his straightforward program and you'll sleep better, have more energy and less stress, and achieve greater mental clarity without experiencing food cravings.
