Vitamin and minerals

Vitamins and minerals are calorie free, they are essential for optimal health. Given the body’s demand for vitamins and minerals and the relative caloric restriction many clients may follow in an effort to lose weight, it is especially important for clients to adopt a nutrient dense low calorie eating plan. Not only should clients limit empty calories from nutrient poor foods, but they should also pay special care to eat a balanced diet that includes all the major food groups so as to ensure sufficient vitamin and mineral intake.
