WHY Are YOU So Fat?

The Diet

I am now going to give you the components of the dietary recommendations from Dr. Perricone but I am not going to concentrate on amounts, ONLY the types of foods themselves. WHY?

Because I believe dietary changes are essentially a major stress factor and I want you to adjust to the foods first for about 10 days or so and then we will discuss amounts!
