Whenever possible, buy organic, pesticide free whole foods and regularly detoxify your body. Once your body is free of toxins, it can then devote more energy to burning fat and protecting you from disease. The Environmental Working Group website ewg.org rates over 80,000 products on nutrition, ingredient concerns and processing, and for a nominal donation, provides excellent shoppers’ guides. In Pray’s autobiographical book, "I Don’t Go With Fat Boys—Weight Loss for People Who Love to Eat", he tells of his discovery of Dr. Joel Fuhrman's life-changing book "Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss". In "Eat to Live", Fuhrman introduces his Nutrient Density Chart. Considering 1000 calories of a particular food, he calculates all nutritional components and ranks it from 1 to 1000, according to the ratio of nutrients to calories, with 1000 being the highest nutrient density per calorie. Following is a partial list of Fuhrman’s nutrient density scores. For a complete list, visit his website, drjoelfuhrman.com. Revised October 2015
