The Abundant Food List

I'm really loving this book that I can't seem to put down...

You Are What You Eat by Dr. Gillian McKeith

Dr. McKeith talks about what you should and shouldn't eat.  I am going to share with you something she calls the "Abundant Food List"  Dr. McKeith states that "If you truly start to eat all of these different foods on a regular basis, I can assure you that you will be doing a grand service to your body, mood and general overall health."

I'm excited to try a few of these that I've never even heard of.  Anyone else ready to try some of these new foods from the "Abundant Food List".
