For example Vitamin D levels, B12, and proper omega-3 intake are important for optimal long-term health as well as avoidance of sodium and other toxic excesses.

Imagine a cup of broth at night, or a soup or a seasoning, for a salad or any one of a myriad of dishes, and knowing that you weren't getting a dose of increase-your-blood-pressure sodium that will put you at further risk of disease. Yet, it tasted like you were getting that hit of salt you've likely gotten used to while your body was getting a nutrient rich superfood that you loved!

As I listened to this presentation, I was surrounded by the same group of people I remember seeing at Atkins events years ago (I used to attend for insight into that trend). Overweight people who are being misled by other overweight people who have good intentions but, need to open their minds and understand more than weight management and observational science, and the nutrient poor model of nutrition.
