Superfoods are plant-based foods with extraordinary properties. We're not talking blueberries here--we're talking goji berries, raw cacao (chocolate), maca, spirulina, bee pollen, medicinal mushrooms...these are all foods that have 14+ tricks up their sleeve as opposed to two or three. These foods have therapeutic medicinal components to them as well as food/caloric components to them. Gary Null, Ph.D., international expert in nutrition and health sciences, has said that superfoods are critic …

Every year brings the hottest diet and latest exercise craze.  Are they the best or just the most popular?

Over the past 2 years, I have lost 150 pounds. I did it by myself: no pills, no crazy diets, no reality shows... I still have about 60 pounds to go, so I thought it might be a good idea to start a (free) diet club. This would be a chance for us to guide and support one another. We meet every two weeks to share our struggles and successes. There is nothing in this for me except the opportunity to help others and, in doing so, continue on my own path to fitness. Best wishes to you on yours.
