I've done this before and knocked years off my looks with a smooth almost wrinkle free face and calmer nerves. (Contolling inflamation and fluid retention, skin will glow and energy will soar). After this I will try the 28 day diet plan in the book -- The Perricone Prescription by Nicholas Perricone, M.D. I got off the salmon because of cricumstances and that is why I'm not coping well with anxiety, plus the need for sleep and exercise. Therefore, I'm doing it again and will share with you my shopping list. This goes along well with what is suggested by the MWC.

Drink 8 to 10 glasses water.
__________________________________________________

SHOPPING LIST FOR THREE-DAY DIET:
Oatmeal (not instant)
A minimum of 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 pounds fresh salmon cut into six portions.
8 ounces thinly sliced low-salt turkey or chicken breast
1 can sardines packed in olive oil (if you choose this option for lunch)
1 can of low-sodium tuna packed in water ( if you choose this option for lunch)
2 ripe cantaloupes
1 pound asparagus
1 pound broccoli
1 pound fresh spinach
2 heads romaine lettue
1 pint strawberries
1 pint blueberries
1/2 pint rasberries
1/2 pint blackberries
3 green apples (e.g., Granny Smith)
2 lemons (to put on salmon)
Olives of any type -fresh or canned
Raw, unsalted almonds
Hazelnuts
macadamia nuts
8-ounce bottle extravirgin olive oil
3 or 4 gallons spring water

This is divided into three meals and two snacks.

He also recommends which suppliments which include those for depression.

MY SHOPPING LIST FOR LATER WILL INCLUDE: (more in book)
Vit. B:
kale
red bell perpers
spiniach
watercress
B Complex:
ow-fat cottage cheese
plain yogurt
walnuts
sunflower seeds
avcado
orange
parsnips
Ester C:
tomatoes

The book includes all the vitamins and minerals and foods that are not only good for the skin and health problems which he details, but mental disorders as well. He also discusses what creams to use on your face. --Internal and external, DMAC (in fish), Ester'C, Q10, and other. CLA (for weight). You may like the journal he's published that lists for 28 days the foods, etc. and a place for your comments. His "Wrinkle Cure" book is excellant and cheaper than the one above. Although, for me it is worth the expense. Thus, I bought both books and skipped the journal.

Stress affects our sleep and our looks as it ages quickly shown in skin tone and lines. The same foods that help with the skin are those for depression and thinking. So, if I can look good inside and out -- well here I go. SALMON is the answer for me.

Hi Victoria , very interesting and I love Salmon !!!but sardines I have never had. how do they taste?? What do you do with them You tried this diet before and it helped with your anxiety?? Thanks for the info.

Hi Trixie,
They taste fishy. They come in an oblong can and you eat them that way. You don't cook them. Get the sardines that are in olive oil.

Yes, for me it does help with anxiety! The same nutrients that are good for our skin work on our brains. Even the MWC suggestes tuna in their lesson on diet and exercise.

Try getting Alasken Salmon which is the best. Fresh if possible. if not frozen. Can eat canned sometimes. Most canned is Alasken because the other kind can get mussy.

Broil or grill the salmon with a little olive oil on top. I like adding dill and emon. Eat the protein first. After you can have berries (strawberry, blueberrry or other and a slive of cantaloup. That's my breakfast. For lunch it is salmon on a bed of roamaine lettue with olive oil and lemon and feta cheese. Yummy.

Thanks for the reply.
