• A Nutrient Rich Diet is guided by the Nutritarian Food Pyramid created by Joel Fuhrman M.D., the leader in high nutrient density nutritional research and education.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style is based primarily on real, whole natural foods of plant origin. In our current market most of the foods sold are packaged as "natural" when they are in fact inherently not natural, nor nutrient rich, and while animal foods are arguably considered "whole foods" in the market, they are not considered "nutrient rich" either. Ref: The 3 Classes of Foods.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style  includes raw and cooked foods with a smaller percentage of cooked foods, but can be raw or high-raw if you want it to be. Some foods can increase in nutritional value when cooked conservatively and substantial nutrients are neither lost or destroyed. (Example: Soups)
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style  can include small amounts of animal products - ideally wild, grass fed or farm-raised - if you eat them. Many people feel better eating small amounts of animal products in their diet for a variety of reasons, although this is not essential for healthy eating.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style can include processed foods where the nutrient value and integrity are maintained. (Example: smoothies, hummus and chopped salads...)
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style eliminates and/or limits refined foods where the nutrients are stripped out and pleasure stimulating chemicals are either left in or added which can cause addiction, over consumption and rapid increase of insulin levels and disease potential.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style  is able to creatively duplicate the same pleasing effects of traditional junk food without the harmful result of overly refined products. You can actually have your cake and eat it too; although this is technically not "natural" even if made from whole natural, nutrient dense foods that are processed and the nutrient value and integrity are maintained.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style  can be customized to the individual based on their genetic predisposition, blood tests, and prior conditions with the help of a qualified health care practitioner. Environment, present situation, preferences and goals also play a big role. Supplementation may be essential, even though you are eating a nutrient-rich diet.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style is a lifestyle decision that works with your body's natural systems.
• A Nutrient Rich Superfood eating style  is the cornerstone of a successful lifestyle that is health promoting.

There's a lot of debate about what diet is best for you...

No matter what type of food you eat, there will always be a group of people and experts who will disagree about which diet works and what doesn’t.

What's most fascinating is that if you were to collect all the experts and put them in the same room, they'd agree on many things.  Healthy and successful diets have many of the same elements included in them.

But, what are those elements?

Health author, Kevin Gianni, has set out to gather a collection of 14 of the world’s top diet experts to find out the answer to just that - which elements of diet are most important.

You can listen into this groundbreaking event for free online starting February 6th, 2010.

Here's where to read more and sign up now:

This group of bestselling experts includes vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters - all in the same online forum - that will share some of their science and research to help you make your diet the best it can be - which means allow you get the energy you deserve, help you 1ose weight and get rid of those nagging creaks, cracks and strange pains you feel as you get a little older.

Some of the 14 experts include Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Sally Fallon, Dr. Robert Young, Donna Gates, David Wolfe, Jonny Bowden, Mike Adams, T. Colin Campbell and more.  Combined, this group has sold over 5 million books on diet, done tens of thousands of lectures and seen over 300,000 patients.

This once in a lifetime event is called "The Great Health Debate" and its purpose is to let the experts debate their experience with diet and share their knowledge with you.

To listen in to this online event is completely free.  You can read more or sign up now here:

By the way, there are also two or three special experts that are not in the line up yet, that will blow you away, so be sure to sign up and wait for that special announcement!

PS: My Prediction:

• There is going to be a basic meeting of the minds that vegetables are healthy.There is going to be a fundamental disagreement about the health promoting value of meat, saturated fat, raw milk etc. The plant based pro's are going to acknowledge that small amounts of animal products (10% or less) is doable without much measurable negative impact on health. The Paleo people will promote smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and hold true to either a predominantly animal based diet, or a diet that includes significant quantities of animal products. Those with a raw food orientation will either hold to that ideal, or talk about how they now includes raw animal products with the argument that they feel better. Hopefully, everyone will leave as friends.
• Here at Nutrient Rich, we will continue with the working definition of a Nutrient Rich diet, and avoid the diet traps!
  Listeners to the debate will have a better understanding of this great health debate.
