Become a Black Belt Healthy Eater!
Improving Your Nutrient Rich® “Healthy Eating” Score
When you subscribed to NutrientRich.com, you received a free guide
called “Wow, I Thought I Was Eating Healthy!” which came with the
Personal Diet Quality Assessment (PDQ).If you haven’t taken the Assessment and received your Nutrient Rich®
Healthy Eating Score, go to the members’ area and take the PDQ now. It’s
important, because this score is your benchmark for improvement.The sample Nutrient Rich® score in the graphic above (45) is very low on a scale that will take you
up to 180. A person is with this score is eating a nutrient-barren diet, and thus is known as a White
Belt. This person is significantly below average, and has four main levels of improvement ahead to
become a Black Belt with a Nutrient Rich® Healthy Eating Score that is significantly above average.
The good news is that no matter what you scored, the path for achieving all of the success results
everybody wants can progress from right where you are, right now.
Here are the levels, tied to possible scores. (More detailed descriptions are available online
in the NutrientRich® Member Center.
White Belt
Significantly Below Average [Nutrient Barren]: 36 - 64
It’s time to start changing the way you eat. Like right now. To use our martial
arts analogy, you are a White Belt—someone who walks into a martial arts dojo
and has no experience at all with higher levels of self-defense, even if you do have
a fighting spirit! You may know you need to protect yourself, but you don’t know
how. You may not even be convinced yet that you need to learn how.At this stage, you are just beginning your journey to new levels of healthy eating
and lifestyle proficiency. You are currently eating the Standard American Diet,
which is nutrient-poor. You may actually be eating predominantly nutrient-
barren foods—say, a diet of chicken subs, diet colas, and processed refined junk
foods, with only a periodic taste of food offering life-sustaining nutrients.
You may be exercising, but you are probably relying on good genetics, thinking that magically you
will not be affected by the way you eat. (You will and already are!)
