1-Action Steps for Weight Loss describe details of WHAT to eat (nutrition plan) for each given step.
2-Nutrition Education explains HOW to practice each step of the nutrition plan.
3-Body Biology Explained has 2 functions. First, it explains WHY it is important to practice each action step – explaining what happens in the body when a person DOES or DOESN’T practice that action step. Second, it explains different health issues that cause weight loss resistance and lists natural interventions that can be used to resolve each health issue.
4-Power Tools provides the PATH for this habit change journey – helping participants leave old unhealthy habits behind and adopt new healthy habits needed to produce successful weight loss and reach peak health.
