If you want to lose weight for good, this is the diet for you. The Vital Diet is a healthy diet full of delicious real foods that are vital to great health. This is a diet you can feel good about and follow for life. Most diets rob your body of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals and even lean muscle. They can deplete your energy and actually lower your metabolism which causes you to regain all of the weight you lose faster than it took to take it off. Most diets fail because they are based on incorrect principles. They are based on short term quick weight loss gimmicks and unhealthy diet habits that you could never sustain and wouldn’t want to because they’re just not healthy.

You’re not Alone
According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly two-thirds of U.S. Adults are overweight. The American waistline continues to expand, with 61% of U.S. adults now considered to be overweight. More than a third of adults, 35%, are slightly or moderately overweight and 26% of Americans are not just overweight, but obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What is the Vital Diet
The Vital Diet is a healthy way of eating real foods that provides all the vital nutrients, lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, healthy oils, vitamins and minerals that your body needs on a daily basis so that you can achieve optimal health and vitality. The Vital Diet teaches you how to eat and what to eat to burn fat, build lean muscle, optimize your body’s enzymes, replenish your hormones and fight oxidation, aging and cellular degeneration.
The Vital Diet includes specific meal plans, portions, and recipes that you can make from foods you buy at the grocery store. You don’t have to buy any pre-packaged foods, meal replacement powders, protein bars, or fad drinks. Instead you’ll learn how to simply and quickly prepare healthy and delicious meals that keep your vitality up and your weight down. The Weight Loss Phase of the Vital Diet is intended to last 16 weeks. During this time period you can expect to lose as much as 20-40 pounds.
The keys to the success of this program include an individual comprehensive metabolic evaluation by Dr. Clark Hansen, an initial 2-day Vital Detox, the correct combinations of Vital Foods, Metabolic Exercise, Specially Formulated Dietary Supplements and MesoDerm metabolic enhancer.
Assessing the Shape You’re In: Are You an Apple or a Pear?
Your inability to lose weight and keep it off may be partly due to genetics and hormonal imbalances. The Vital Diet program starts with a comprehensive medical evaluation by Dr. Clark Hansen who will personally assess your overall health status and your specific metabolic and hormonal deficiencies. If you are a Pear Shape (carry excess fat predominantly in your hips and thighs) you may be deficient in Growth Hormone, Thyroid, and/or Testosterone. If you are Apple shaped (carry excess fat in the abdomen) you may be overproducing Insulin, Cortisol and Estrogen and/or deficient in DHEA, Progesterone or Testosterone. Crave sweets? You could have a Chromium deficiency. Never feel satisfied? You could have a deficiency of Dopamine. Have an insatiable appetite? You may be deficient in Serotonin. Solving your metabolic imbalances can turn your world around and reshape a healthier you.
