Introduction
What is the Healthy Weight Loss Eating Plan?
The Healthy Weight Loss Eating Plan was developed to provide you
with a meals composed of nutrient-rich foods that are delicious to
your taste buds, satisfying in terms of amount, and make weight loss
an attainable goal. The 4 week's worth of menus in the Plan were de-
veloped to give you a basic blueprint—a practical guideline for
weight loss. What I hope is that you will be able to use the 4-week
blueprint as a guideline for developing your own personalized strat-
egy for continued healthy weight loss.
Who can benefit from implementation of the Plan
The Plan was developed to improve the health of the average indi-
vidual who is overweight and wants to become healthier in a way
that includes healthy weight loss. The Plan is not a clinical plan, and
it is not designed to address clinical problems. You'll need to solicit
the help of your healthcare provider if you face any clinical issues
in your healthcare, including any issues that might impact your
choice of a weight loss plan. In general, since our weight loss plan
averages about 1,530 calories per day, we would expect it to pro-
vide the most weight loss benefit for individuals who are currently
consuming a substantially higher level of calories.
Who should consult a healthcare practitioner before
implementing the Plan
