From the man who brought you cosmeceuticals and super foods comes a way to eliminate face puffiness, increase contours, firm your jaw line, and exude a naturally healthy glow. As it turns out, it’s what you put in your body, not what you have surgically put on or sloughed off, that counts. Dr. Nicolas Perricone’s Nutritional Facelift challenges you to comply with a prescribed menu of meals for three days to see significant changes to the appearance of your face. You also might experience side effects in the way of positive changes to your waistline and your general headspace as well. We’ve done our part by printing the diet in full here. Sticking to it is all you.
Breakfast
Three-egg omelet and/or 4-6 oz. grilled salmon (Perricone does not recommend smoked salmon or lox on the three-day diet because of the salt intake)
1?2 cup cooked oatmeal (not instant; cooked oatmeal is a great source of fiber and low glycemic carbohydrates)
2-inch wedge of cantaloupe or 1/3 cup fresh berries (cantaloupe is very hydrating to the skin and contains important antioxidants; blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries are also high in antioxidants)
No juice, coffee, or toast (if you normally drink large amounts of coffee, drink black or green tea to prevent caffeine withdrawal)
8-12 oz. spring water
Lunch
4-6 oz. grilled salmon (option: you can also use canned salmon and mix in a little mayo and fresh-squeezed lemon)
2 cups green salad made with romaine lettuce or other dark leafy greens
Dressing: extra virgin olive oil and fresh-squeezed lemon to taste
1 kiwi fruit or cantaloupe and berries
8-12 oz. spring water
Snack
1 apple
2 oz. slice of turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds (these are a great source of fatty acids
and folic acid)
Dinner
4-6 oz. grilled salmon
Green salad, as described above
1?2 cup steamed veggies (especially asparagus, broccoli, spinach, etc. No root vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, etc.)
Cantaloupe and berries
8-12 oz. spring water
Before-Bedtime Snack
1 pear or apple
2 oz. slice chicken or turkey breast or 6 oz. plain yogurt
Small handful of hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds
