July 24, 2008 – Boca Raton, FL - Smart For Life™, the all natural weight management program, announced today the opening of a new office next to the family practice office of Dr. Howard Shapiro, author and medical professional for over thirty years. The office will be located on next to Madison Avenue.

Dr. Howard Shapiro is the author of NY Times bestseller “Dr. Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss: The Visual Program for Permanent Weight Loss” as well as “Dr. Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss 20 Day Plan” and “Dr. Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss Cookbook” and “Dr. Shapiro’s Picture Perfect Weight Loss Shopper’s Guide: Supermarket Choices for Permanent Weight Loss.” In 1998, he created a weight-loss program for the New York City Police Department. Following the success of the program, Dr. Shapiro was asked to develop an additional program for the New York City Fire Department in which participants lost between 22-45 pounds.

“Smart For Life is an easy and convenient way of eating the foods I recommend,” stated Dr. Shapiro. “The fact that the program is 60 percent organic is an added benefit to the weight loss results.”

Smart For Life has two programs for individuals to choose from: a Medically Supervised Program and a Home Program. Each program features the use of unique Smart Products. The hunger-controlling foods work as a natural appetite suppressant and include Smart Cookie Squares, muffins, shakes, soups and desserts. The Smart Cookie Squares, available in six flavors, are made with all natural, 60 percent organic ingredients which are scientifically formulated to be a perfect balance of fiber, protein and amino acids - absolutely no drugs or toxic preservatives are included. Eaten six times a day with a sensible dinner, participants lose approximately 10-15 pounds a month. Regardless of what program consumers choose, they receive ongoing support and information from either the center or online/phone sessions.

Dr. Sasson Moulavi, Medical Director of Smart for Life™ Weight Management Centers, stated, “I have always found Dr. Shapiro’s books to be excellent and a great resource for people aiming to lose weight.”
