Did you have your seven?
Hi everyone! I'm not sure if I can start a new thread but I thought to make us all accountable for the seven superfoods we are trying to include in our diet daily this would be a good start1
.
I am really trying to follow the seven foods and get healthy(my cholesterol is through the roof), so who's in.
We'll try to keep this thread going all month and see how it goes. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here.
I'll post later on today(haven't eaten yet)
OK, lets get to it

Ummm I would love to participate in this thread. Does somebody want to actually state what the seven superfoods are? And I could be wrong (yet again) but I thought there were 12 of them.

I was going on the superfoods list that's stickied at the top of the forum....
And I just thought the advisable amount was 7 - after all if you ate the same 7 things every day you'd be a bit bored...

There are 12 superfoods. Actually more if you count what is in the 2nd book. I think what we're trying to accomplish here is to EAT 7 different ones each day. There is a sticky on this forum that lists all the superfoods and their "cousins."
I'm not posing today--not a good superfood day....

Close, there are 14 from the first book but oats and whole grains are the same group. The one you are missing is yogurt
