What are Superfoods?

"Superfoods" is a term used to describe a variety of foods, founds in nature, which contain high phytonutrient content. As a result, these foods result in many different types of health benefits, from lowered cholesterol to prevention of heart disease and various cancers.

Superfoods and Medifast

I will be following the guidelines of the Superfoods suggested at the official Superfoods Rx website. Unfortunately, because Medifast eliminates certain foods while on plan, a good amount of the Superfoods suggested will need to be ignored until transition and maintenance. However, I have come up with a plan to follow that will work alongside Medifast so that each month I am on plan I will focus on a different Superfood group that targets a certain health benefit. I will begin transitioning the first week of August, two weeks early, to incorporate other various Superfood groups not allowed while on plan. By the time I reach maintenance I hope to have successfully sampled each Superfood group suggested.
