“Lose a pound of body fat every three days.” Wow, that sounds great, but can it really be possible?

The answer is YES! Not only is it possible, but some of the patients Dr. Vetere has treated in more than twenty-five years of full-time practice have actually lost more, and they lost it even faster. The concept that Dr. Vetere has taught to thousands of patients is based on a group of factors that coincide with the habits that govern your overall wellness. The loss of body fat pounds or the drop in body fat percentage are markers that are used to track wellness progress and direct fitness habits. Ideal body fat percentage is achieved primarily through correct eating habits, including appropriate nutrition, and a proper balance of aerobic, strength, power, and endurance exercises. Dr. Vetere also highlights the need to drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, eliminate stress, and keep your nervous system functioning properly.

The goal of this book is get you to your ideal body fat by means of improving your overall wellness by implementing principles that are scientifically sound and align with the timeless biblical covenants that govern health. The purpose, though, will not be for personal vanity but to give glory to God your Creator.

The final chapter of the book is a forty-nine-day journal to track your progress as you take Dr. Vetere’s seven-week weight-loss challenge.

Dr. Joseph Vetere was born and still lives in the New York metropolitan area with his wife and family. In 1986, he graduated with honors from the New York Chiropractic College. In 2003, Dr. Vetere saw the need to educate church leadership on the necessity of attaining personal wellness as a key component to the Christian walk. This developed into health conferences across the region and eventually across the country. The “Pastors Health Conferences” and the “7 Steps to Wellness Evangelistic Health Conferences” are the only programs that are faith based and use natural health and wellness education as a tool for community outreach and evangelism. Dr. Vetere is the founder and director of the New York “7 Weeks to Wellness” center that serves hundreds of people. He has professional affiliation with City Covenant Coalition and many other faith-based community groups. Dr. Vetere also holds a diploma in charismatic ministry from Oral Roberts University.
