The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet

Pages: 336

By unlocking the secret link between inflammation and unwanted weight gain, Dr. Perricone breaks new ground with an anti- inflammatory plan focusing on the foods, supplements, and exercises with proven ability to accelerate fat loss by increasing metabolism and building and maintaining muscle mass. This will be the first book that will clearly demonstrate how this sub-clinical, microscopic, invisible inflammation is responsible for 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 a gain of 10 pounds of fat and a loss of 5 pounds of muscle each decade. In three easy steps, Dr. Perricone shows how to fight this weight gain and rebuild muscle mass, yet also avoid the haggard, drawn appearance that results from other weight-loss programs. As an added bonus to following Dr. Perricone's program, you'll sleep better, have more energy and less stress, and experience greater mental clarity without experiencing food cravings. Lose the weight, the wrinkles, and the years!
