– An excerpt from Rick Schaff’s Fitness Model Plus Diet System:

Supplementing With Nutrient-Dense Foods

There are several food-supplements (foods so dense in nutrition that I refer to them as supplements) and even a few man-made supplements I recommend. It is important to note that by including the following foods as a regular part of our diet there is virtually no need for any additional vitamin or mineral supplementation:

Cod liver oil (fermented if possible) – great source for all the fat-soluble vitamins, especially vitamins A & D. I recommend a good cod liver oil supplement over any other fish oil product.

Raw & organic wheat germ - It is the best food source for obtaining all forms of vitamin E. It’s also very easy to add to shakes or oatmeal, etc.

Raw & organic dairy products (milk, butter, cream) - invaluable sources of vitamins A, D, CLA, saturated fat, and omega 3s

Organically raised cage free eggs - they are a good source of protein, omega 3’s, rich in vitamins A, D & E, minerals and other helpful compounds.

Kim Chi (korean style fermented cabbage) or sauerkraut – A smart, easy and delicious way to create good bacteria in the intestinal tract.

Fresh vegetable juices – They are packed with live enzymes and biologically available vitamins & minerals. Drinking fresh juices is the next best thing to having a blood transfusion

Super Food product – This dynamic product will covers all vitamin and mineral needs.

Fresh, raw garlic – Garlic is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-microbrial. It builds healthy blood and should be incorporated into the diet whenever possible (preferably raw).

Berries – Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are all generally low in sugar and high in anti-oxidants.

Sardines – Typically low in mercury and a good source of omega 3s and other helpful nutrients. Consume the whole sardine for maximum nutritional benefits.

Additional Supplements that may be necessary for added benefits:

Whey protein - non-denatured whey from concentrate - not isolate or hydrolized  (ask me about this)

Alpha Lipoic Acid - great for liver optimization - should be cycled 2 weeks on 1-2 weeks off

Coenzyme Q10 - may be helpful to people over 40 to help re-establish more energy
