Blueberries have an ANDI Score of 130, which is a measurement of nutrients per calorie. The ANDI scoring system (that you see in every Whole Foods store in the US) is a way of measuring the micronutrients phytochemicals in food. It is an attempt to measure all the "good stuff" that is not captured on a standard nutritional label.

An Important Warning About Blueberries!

Despite the super stellar nutritional reputation, cultivated blueberries can be very high in pesticides, which have been shown to have some very negative effects on your health. In particular, pesticides can mimic estrogen, throwing your hormones off balance, which can lead to chronic fatigue and an array of other negative health outcomes.

Frozen organic blueberries are your best bet. Frozen anything is cheaper than fresh.

The tastiest blueberries (in our view) are Wild Maine Blueberries. They are a smaller and sweeter berry. Increasingly, growers in Maine and also Quebec are opting to go organic.

This is the reason that we specify that only "organic" blueberries are unlimited on the PEERtrainer Cheat System.

The objective of our system is not just weight loss. Although it is excellent for that. We are probably unique in the industry in the way we seek to help people avoid additional toxins in their diet, and find ways to actually help people naturally detoxify, over time.

This isn't a "health nut" approach. Rather, our view is that people are bombarded with all sorts of things that didn't exist before the advent of modern chemistry. And our bodies simply need every edge they can to keep an upper hand.

Grapefruit for example is an excellent detoxifier. It contain a substance called "limonoids" which have been scientifically shown to help the liver more quickly shed the body of toxic substances.

When you help your liver detoxify, you'll find yourself in much greater balance. Additionally, you'll give your body the nutrients it needs to feel less hungry.

One thing we have realized at PEERtrainer is that all this stuff is connected. When you eat the right foods your health and weight improves simultaneously.
