Steer clear! its just a quick-fix-fad.
If any professional uses the word "toned" and tries to get you to buy a product you are morally obligated to punch the living crap out of them.
Here is some info...
Perricone's "Prescription"
The Perricone Prescription provides detailed instructions that include exactly what foods to eat, when and in what order to eat them (proteins first), what exercises to do, what supplements to take with each meal, and what to apply to your skin at what times of day. He even includes a section of recommended recipes. His program includes:
* Diet: Three meals and two snacks daily, high quality protein (above all, wild salmon), "good" fats, and carbohydrates with a low glycemic index. No sugar. A long list of prohibited foods including carrots, bananas, duck, potatoes, flour, raisins, corn, soda (even diet soda) and many others.
* Nutrient supplements: 25 different ones, some taken more than once a day: alpha lipoic acid, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folate, biotin, vitamin C, vitamin C ester, vitamin E, calcium, chromium, magnesium, selenium, l-carnitine, acetyl l-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, l-glutamine, omega-3 fatty acids, grape seed extract, gamma linoleic acid, and turmeric.
* Skin treatments: sunscreens, cleansers, moisturizers, eye-care products and enriched night cream; various creams with ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin C ester, alpha lipoic acid, DMAE, PPC, tocotrienol, and olive oil.
* Exercise: For strength, endurance, and flexibility; 40 minutes a day, 6 days a week.
* Miscellaneous advice: 8-10 glasses of spring water a day; no tobacco, coffee, or alcohol (but tea is allowed); melatonin for sleep if needed.
Right... 1st off, the exercise is crazy, 6days a week is just stupid unless youve been training a while and already know what your doing.
no tobacco, coffee or alcohol... Wow this guy really is a genius! why didnt i think of that.
i could go on for ages but i wanna point this out...
Perricone markets his own line of high-priced nutritional supplements and skin care products worldwide. Typical prices from his Web site include:
$120 for 4 oz alpha lipoic acid and other ingredients for spider veins
$570 for 2 oz neuropeptide facial conformer
$195 for a 30-day supply of supplements for weight loss
$438-458 monthly for the entire skin and nutrient program based on skin type
You have got to be a Jackass to pay so much money. I wanna blast this but i just dont have the time or energy!!!!
So... yes it works, yes its good. But its a quick (very expensive) fix. just eat well, exercise right and cut out all the crap. Then add some facial treatments if thats what your into.
Please dont help pay for this Bastards new house!!!!!!!

Dr. Perricone's critics accuse him of making outlandish, unrealistic promises in order to sell books and products. His claims, they say, are backed by very little scientific research, and any research he has done himself has never been published in medical journals, where it would be subject to scrupulous review.
Dr. Perricone's recommended diet has come under particular scrutiny. Although the specifics vary in his books, all of the recommendations focus on the regulation of blood sugar levels. Specifically, he recommends preventing rapid increases in blood sugar by eating only foods with a low glycemic index. This eliminates most breads and fruit juices, both of which are strongly recommended for consumption by mainstream diet organizations such as the USDA, which makes grains (including bread and cereal) the base of their food pyramid. Perricone's diet is similar to those touted by books such as The Glucose Revolution, and mainstream diets recommended for diabetics.
In his defense, Dr. Perricone accuses the dermatological community of conformity, of ignoring common-sense wisdom, and of closing their minds to minority voices. His books are filled with spirited rebelliousness. For example, in The Acne Prescription, Dr. Perricone cites Bertrand Russell's famous line: "Even when all the experts agree, they may well be mistaken."

My thoughts-
While he's a bit out there, I give him props for being on Oprah and talking specifically about people not getting enough quality proteins and fiber in their diet. He also talked about how a lot of people eat the wrong type of carbs and fat. Since he was on Oprah, a lot of the women on the show decided to follow his advice...this means that instead of having 1-2 meals a day like a lot of people do, they will start having 4-6 feedings a day and monitoring what goes into their body. This is where lifestyle changes happen.
Yes, what he says is common sense, and yet so many fail to follow common sense until someone comes out and publishes a book on it.
He's crazy for his suggestions on the amount of money to spend on supplementation.
6 days a week of 40 minutes of exercise isn't all that crazy. 3 days of strength training, 2 days of cardio, and 1 day of swimming at the lake...playing soccer, etc I agree that for some this might be a bit much, but how many of us (at least on here) workout in the gym 3-4 days a week and have 2-3 days of cardio work.
I have a couple of his books because they were given to me, and what I like is how he challenges the medical community for being closed-minded.
What I don't like is how he wants you to exclude certain fruits and vegetables.
