Description
When you need to look your very best now...
Learning objectives & benefits:
Feel Full on Fewer Calories will empower every one of your attendees to take control of their eating plan
The fun stop light teaches GO foods - these are foods that are nutrient dense and low in calorie density - if you fill up on these you feel much fuller on fewer calories - fruits, salads, cooked whole grains, legumes and lean protein - who can complain about a diet rich in those foods as the base of any diet and good for long term weight control and better health!
The stop light also teaches CAUTION foods - these are fast foods and items with sugar and fat like cheeseburgers, French fries, apple pie, cheesecake, pizza, potato chips, crackers, etc. They have little fiber and little moisture.
The STOP foods are the foods that are very laden with fat and very high in calorie density - these must be limited so you don't accidentally eat too many calories! Research shows that these foods are less satiating - so you really want to eat a lot of calories with these foods. Lard, butter, olive oil and chocolate is on this list - portion control is a must!
