DR. PERRICONE’S 3 DAY MENU 

Laura's Comment:
I have tried this menu over 3 days, and yes it does work! Wild Salmon is better than farmed.  Bon Appetit!

3 DAY MENU 
You will be eating close to the same thing each day.
Remember to always eat your protein first.
Though this diet has some variety, a restricted diet is often easier to handle without too many choices.
