3 Achieving Permanent Weight Loss At any given time, 50% of women and 25% of men are trying to lose weight. A program for helping your patients achieve successful permanent weight loss must incorporate great nutrition, calorie reduction, adequate exercise, and positive mental attitude. In order for your patients to be successful in their efforts, they need to set focused goals. Focused goals are specific, realistic, measurable, and time-bound. For example, a focused goal may be jogging for 30 minutes five days a week, as opposed to a goal to exercise more. Patients should be encouraged to adopt lasting dietary changes, rather than dieting. A well balanced diet focuses on nutrient-dense foods that provide high levels of nutrients per calorie, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins. Exercise is key to long-term weight-loss and general health. Patients should find a form of exercise they enjoy, whether it be riding a bicycle or taking a dance class. Walking is an excellent form of moderate exercise. Studies show that daily walks increase fitness, decrease body fat, and reduce heart disease risk.* While there is no magic pill, dietary supplements can provide nutritional support for specific weight management challenges.* The Vital Nutrients products for weight management can help promote satiety, fill nutritional gaps in low-calorie or restrictive diets, and support healthy blood sugar levels.*

4 7-Keto DHEA 100mg 7-KETO, also known as 3-acetyl-7-oxo dehydroepiandrosterone or 7-oxo DHEA, is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA which cannot be converted back to DHEA in the body. Like DHEA, 7-Keto production declines with age. 7-Keto may enhance the activity of thermogenic enzymes which support the body s ability to utilize fat for energy.* Studies suggest that 7-Keto may provide non-stimulatory support in improving RMR (resting metabolic rate) and promoting weight loss when combined with exercise and a calorie restricted diet.* Vital Nutrients 7-Keto DHEA is derived from a plant source that has been purified to match the substance naturally produced in the body.* 7-Keto DHEA 100mg serving size: 1 capsule servings per container: veg capsules 7-Keto DHEA 100mg * Recommended Dosage: 1 capsule, 2 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
