Waist Control 8-Week Program
At the end of this program, employees will learn about the realities of basic nutrition and weight loss, and become more aware of their personal actions which help identify the causes that contribute to weight gain and feeling poorly. Each week participants are surveyed with 5 questions relating to the week's topic, their awareness level and what changes they are experiencing. An end-of-program survey is included to determine the effectiveness of the program.
Topics include:
The reality of the amount and type of food that we eat
Make the scale your friend; not your enemy
The impact our sedentary lifestyle has on our health and well-being
The difference between a lifestyle change and a dieting mindset
The reality of a portion size versus what we eat
How to be a mindful eater
How stress may be impacting your decisions, and how to overcome it
Understand the importance of taking care of YOU.
