Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi , I did Dr. Perricone's anti inflamation diet for about 5 months and the diference was amazing . I lost 15 pounds the first month and felt great. Since then I do a modified version ( no bread, coffee, fried foods, starches sugar) and have been losing only 1-2 pounds a month ( I still have 20 to go). On the antiinflammation diet I have more energy, no swelling from the prednisone, my blood pressure is lower and I have no chest or joint pain. As soon as I go off of it, all of the above comes back. I have to confess I have the hardest time giving up sweets and they seem tio make the biggest difference. I got the book used on Amazon and I also do his stretching exercises in it. They are very easy and low impact and only take 10-15 minutes each morning. Good luck! R.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 , I've been doing an anti-inflammatory diet now for about 3 months. It's been tweaked for me by a nutritionist at Duke but it's most similar to Weil's recommendations. Here's a link to his info. This is basically the plan I'm following (not perfectly but probably about 85%). http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/PAG00361/anti-inflammatory-food-pyramid.html Beth Moderator Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 Dermatomyositis 11/08 To: Breathe-Support Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 1:14:40 PMSubject: Anti-inflammation diet?

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 , Thanks for the info..I'll look into getting the book. The nutritionist was concerned about all the meds I take and wants to be ceertainh that what she finally decides to endorse for me is OK with the docs. Did you know that cheeses in general are really high in salt? Also...plain ordinary boxed breakfast cereals are really bad!!!! Bah Hum bug!!!
