Are Phytochemicals Working for You? If Not You Will Soon Be on Drugs.

This post is designed to overwhelm you, as it should. You should never have to pay attention to getting all of these classes of nutrients, but what you should be paying attention to is the fact that if you are not getting them from the foods you are eating you are eating nutrient poor. You ...

Have You Considered a Nutrient-Rich Healthy Eating Style to Lose Weight

Have you been struggling for years to lose weight? Are you a “yoyo dieter”? Do you try one “weight lost plan” after another, never achieving healthy weight loss or your weight loss goals?

Protect Your Kids With Nutrient Rich Meals Every Day

A Really Good Reason To Eat 10% or Less Animal Products!

Today, I read an article in the Huffington Post, called, Horse Meat Inspection Ban Lifted In The U.S. (horse meat consumption) and I was shocked.   It is a proven fact that consuming animal protein causes cancer, yet we keep on eating it.

Hi all, an exciting weekend is lies ahead in the nutritional world, with two major events happening at the same time. First, on Friday the US Government (I know that can't possible sound that exciting), is getting rid of the old food pyramid and taking a significant "step" towards Nutrient Rich eating, by addressing the ...

No More Food Pyramid: Nutritional Icon Is Now a Plate

This is a big step on the part of USDA, they are coming around little by little. Just this past June 2010 the USDA put out the following message: "With two thirds of Americans overweight or living on prescription meds, the USDA calls on ALL Americans to eat a more Nutrient Rich Diet!"
