Can you lose weight with the Feeling Great Menu?
Yes you can. Virtually all weight loss plans endorsed by public health organizations across the country adhere to the same basic principle that we established for ourselves in the creation of the World's Healthiest Foods. That principle is that of nutrient density. The term nutrient density refers to the concept of getting the most nutrition for the least number of calories. In other words, nutrient dense foods give you the "biggest bang for the buck." You get lots of nutrients, and it doesn't cost you much in the terms of calories. Nutrient density is one critical component of long term weight management regardless of who you are, how much weight you have to lose, or what foods you like to eat.
