Healthy Weight Loss — Without DietingWeek 2 of the Healthy Weight Loss Eating Plan provides you with
100% or more of the Daily Value for 19 health-promoting nutrients
and their health benefits for maintaining good health. The Plan will
help you avoid nutrient deficiencies because, as you can see, it is
built around nutrient-rich foods—rich in vitamins, minerals, hard-
to-find protein, fiber, antioxidants, and many other nutrients. The
nutrient-rich foods in the Plan can provide nutrients in forms that are
more available to you than most nutritional capsules. It is also an
anti-inflammatory and immunity plan because it helps protect
against inflammation, reduces free radicals, and bolsters the immune
system.
