Berries are definitely good for you (known to have nutrients that help prevent cancer). They are lower on the glycemic index than other fruits. They can and should be incorporated into this WOL. My first choice would be veggies because they have many nutrients and are lower on the glycemic index, nuts and fruit would be next but I would not forgo veggies for berries at every meal. Try using them before and after workouts (1 or 2 ozs of berries) when your body needs a quick "hit" of carbs and when they will be utilized most efficiently.
