| If you're lucky enough to have fresh blueberries available in your market or blueberry sidekicks such as strawberries, purple grapes, raspberries, or cherries then you should stock up on these treats. You'll be enjoying them for breakfast and in various recipes. Remember that frozen berries—be sure they have no added sugar—are excellent substitutes for fresh.
"The foods are easy to find and easy to prepare. I like preparing the snacks ahead of time, that way I take the time to measure (portion control has been one of the reasons I have gained weight) and I fix several at a time. | C. W. Randolph, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Serve the following:
Marinated vegetable potpourri
Simple Cheese Toast*
Spinach dip and raw vegetables
Sparkling water with a splash of cranberry or orange juice served in champagne glasses; drop in a few raspberries for color and zing. (Make sure the cranberry juice is 100% fruit juice and not the kind that is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup.)
Dinner
6 ounces grilled Salmon with Dill and Lemon* A cup spinach salad
A cup brown rice; may cook in organic chicken, beef, or vegetable broth for flavor Water with lemon
Breakfast
1 egg, scrambled in olive oil. | David W. Grotto, RD, LDN See book keywords and concepts | Blackberries are high in antioxidants: An in vitro study found that blackberries had the highest antioxidant capacity when compared with blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, and raspberries. They are also rich in vitamin C, fiber, and in the phytochemicals tannin, flavonoid, and cyani-din, which have anticarcinogenic properties. Blackberries also contain catechins, such as quercetin, which is an antioxidant that can reduce the risk of heart disease and stop the action of histamine for people with allergies. | Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Enjoy two to three servings of high-fiber fruits such as raspberries, apples, oranges, and blueberries. (Note: If you limit fruits to one serving per day or totally remove them for the first three weeks, you could lose weight more quickly.)
¦ Consume modest amounts of healthy fats such as flaxseed oil, olive oil, macadamia nut oil, avocado, and raw nuts.
¦ Stay away completely from all refined carbs. That includes cookies, most crackers, and candies (even low-calorie ones); breads and pasta; and alcohol and fruit juices. | David W.

Sinatra, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Later, you can introduce fruits (preferably lower-glycemic ones like honeydew, cantaloupe, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries) in small portions, but if your cravings increase or your weight loss slows, you may be sensitive to them. (Symptoms of food sensitivities or allergies include fatigue, bloating, gas, skin disturbances such as rashes and acne, water retention, memory troubles, cravings, stalled weight loss, shortness of breath, and stuffy/runny nose. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | The night before, place a small amount of frozen blueberries and raspberries in a small plastic container and keep it in the fridge to thaw out. To make the omelet, heat a small nonstick frying pan over medium heat, then add the olive oil and melt the butter. Beat the eggs and pour them into the pan. Allow the eggs to cook until they're set, probably a couple of minutes. When the eggs are firm enough, flip the omelet. Place the berries on one side of the omelet, fold over the other side, and serve. | | Examples: Fresh raspberries and blueberries are at the top of my list of healthy fruits. You can use frozen but unsweetened berries if they are out of season or if cost is a limitation. Don't buy canned fruits because they almost always have added sugars. I also like fresh apples, kiwifruit, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, and the occasional banana or pear. (Bananas and pears have been cultivated for high sugar content.) The same is true of citrus. Occasional citrus fruit is fine, but avoid drinking orange juice, which provides a lot of sugars without any fiber.
Guideline 4. | | A cup frozen raspberries, defrosted lA cup frozen blueberries, defrosted
2 tablespoons pecan or walnut pieces yogurt, preferably sugar- and fat-free Fage brand of Greek yogurt V2-I teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix the fruit and nuts together with a spoon, add the yogurt, then the cinnamon. You can vary the ingredients with whatever happens to be in season.

LAURIE'S STORY
Personal Boundaries Protect against Stress and Prediabetes
Stress is often overlooked as a contributing factor to prediabetes and overweight. It disrupts eating habits and boosts levels of insulin and Cortisol, two hormones that promote belly fat. In Laurie's case, stress sabotaged her lifestyle, and it improved only when she enforced her personal boundaries to buffer stress. | Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Try freezing fruit such as strawberries, bananas, and raspberries, and blueberries. You could blend in milk or yogurt, and it comes out like ice cream. You can't tell the difference," recommends nutritionist Shari Lieberman, Ph.D., C.N.S., F.A.C.N., and author of Dare to Lose. b Involve your kids. Take your kids with you when you go food shopping and ask them to help you cook dinner or prepare their school lunches, recommends Dr. Appleton. "Their involvement is key," she explains. "They feel more in control this way. And remember to praise and reinforce their good behavior often. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | Fruit Salad (Serves 3-4)

What's the Story?
Rice is actually a grass and refers to two different species, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima, with the first being most predominant. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | These include such diverse food sources as almond blossoms, pumpkins, cucumbers, raspberries, avocados, and alfalfa. Unless something is done to protect the honeybee population soon, many fruits and vegetables may disappear from the food chain.
The results of a limited study at Landau University have been reported in newspapers around the world, stating that radiation coming from cell phones may be directly responsible for the disappearance of bee populations around the globe. | Gabriel Cousens See book keywords and concepts | All vegetables: carrots (raw), beets (raw), squash (raw)
Fruits: low-glycemic fruits-blueberries, raspberries, cherries, fresh and unsweetened cranberries, pomegranate, goji berries, grapefruit, lemons, limes

VITAMIN C
Vitamin C plays a very important role in the healing of diabetes and reversing complications. This antioxidant inhibits accumulation of sorbitol, reduces glycosylation of proteins, and preserves endothelial function. It inhibits aldose reductase, which creates a buildup of sorbitol, which is associated with many of the long-term complications of diabetes. | James Dowd and Diane Stafford See book keywords and concepts | Vi- to 1-inch-wide strips and mix with other greens or serve alone)

How to Eat Your Antioxidants
You can easily increase your daily intake of antioxidants and reap their rewards by following these suggestions:
?Eat at least five servings a day of fruits and vegetables. | Ben-Erik van Wyk See book keywords and concepts | They are considered to be one of the most delicious of all dessert fruits. raspberries are an important source of juice for the fruit juice industry and an equally important flavouring agent for a wide range of food products and beverages. Other uses include jams, jellies, purees, compotes, syrups, fermented drinks, liqueurs and brandies. Nutritional value raspberries have a low energy value (25 kcal per 100 g) but are rich in minerals (especially calcium, phosphorus and iron), dietary fibre and vitamin C (25 mg per 100 g). | Marion Nestle See book keywords and concepts | Guatemalan raspberries become ripe and are ready to ship in April and May, when there is no competing source. Spring rains, however, encourage the growth of Cydospora, a common cause of diarrhea among Guatemalan children and of illness among raspberry pickers. During the outbreak in the United States, investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found Cydospora in the feces of people who had eaten Guatemalan raspberries. They did not, however, find the bacteria in the raspberries. | Ben-Erik van Wyk See book keywords and concepts | Uses &: properties raspberries are eaten fresh and are used in fruit salads and desserts, often served with sugar and cream. They are considered to be one of the most delicious of all dessert fruits. raspberries are an important source of juice for the fruit juice industry and an equally important flavouring agent for a wide range of food products and beverages. Other uses include jams, jellies, purees, compotes, syrups, fermented drinks, liqueurs and brandies. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Superfruit antioxidants for protection of the brain, heart, skin, eyes and cellular DNA (these superfruits include acai, blueberries, raspberries, noni, mangosteen, goji and so on).
Nutrient-dense microalgae (like blue/green algae, chlorella and spirulina) for cleansing the body, protecting the liver, and greatly reducing the risk of digestive system cancers (including colon cancer). | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Food sources rich in polyphenols include onion, apple, tea, red wine, red grapes, grape juice, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and certain nuts. The average polyphenol / flavonoid intake in the U.S. has not been determined with precision, in large part, because there is presently no U.S. national food database for these compounds. (USDA scientists and their colleagues are in the process of developing a database for foods rich in polyphenols.) It has been estimated that in the Dutch diet a subset of flavonoids (flavonols and flavones) provide 23 mg per day. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | We made a berry version with all-organic, freeze-dried blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and cranberries called Living Fuel Super Berry. The ingredients are organic freeze-dried berries and chia, along with rice protein, pea protein, enzymes, and probiotics. It's also got multivitamins, herbs, antioxidants, and minerals. That is an all-in-one. You can live on that.
The primary difference between the Super Greens and the Super Berry is that one has vegetable greens and the other has berries. So they are slightly different. | Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN See book keywords and concepts | | Choose one of the following: blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries. If berries are not in season, replace them with apples or bananas.
