His diet prescribes other foods along with the salmon:
Quote:
He prescribes 4-6oz of grilled salmon three times a day, with porridge and melon or berries at breakfast, a green salad or leafy greens and more melon or kiwi fruit at lunch, then the same for dinner, with steamed vegetables. A bedtime snack of an apple, turkey breast or hazelnuts, walnuts or almonds is allowed. Any form of sugar is strictly forbidden. The low-GI fruit — berries and cantaloupe melon — is designed to break sugar cravings gently. After this three-day salmon diet (some of his followers do it as much as once a month) Perricone advocates sticking to a low-GI diet full-time, introducing other forms of protein such as tofu, tuna, cod, trout, turkey and goat’s cheese for variety, although he still advocates eating salmon most days.

These other foods (porridge and fruit) are too high in carbohydrate for me to safely eat. They might be alright for someone else with less insulin resistance. I could see myself eating those particular portions of salmon for three days, but I would need additional zero/VLC foods beyond a total of 18 oz of salmon per day to be sufficient.
