This customer tested program, by Food and Health Communications, is great for a 3 to 12-month worksite wellness/weight management incentive program and contest. Teach a new, timely weight management lesson and skill each month (or week). You can also use topics individually for wellness programs, health fairs, classes, counseling and more. All topics support the messages given in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid. Topics chosen are meant to support today�s consumer so they can make better choices in their fast-paced lifestyles. Many do not take the time to eat breakfast or cook and they eat on the run. 

Many are overwhelmed with large portions, refined carbohydrates and no education about the calorie density of foods. Still more do not exercise or realize the benefits of being more active. These lessons will instruct and motivate in a positive manner for better health and weight. 

Learning objectives and goals for all 12 lessons:

1. Do I need to lose weight?
2. How to lose weight over the long term and keep it off?
3. Why I want to cook more at home? What should I make?
4. Why I need to make better choices when eating out and how to do that?
5. Beverages have calories, too?
6. Why is moving better than sitting?
7. What is calorie density, how to categorize foods by calorie density using a go, caution and stop approach
8. Preferred carbohydrates versus refined carbohydrates 
9. Fat is calorie dense, where is it hiding?
10. I can snack better - what is a healthy snack?
11. Eating breakfast and making healthful breakfast choices is a good idea!
12. Why is portion control important? What are things I must know and remember?

Review Title: 12 Lessons of Wellness and Weight Management
The presentation gives a great general overview of what healhy ideas need to be followed. We have added a show-and-tell portion to demonsrate what the lesson details. What might be nice to include in the presentation is more case studies as we went through each of those with our group and also look at more comparisons - people learn more when they can see the data in thier own life. Including more numbers and comparing food products (and then we can bring in the example products) would assist in digesting the material better. Overall a great product for us with little extra input needed. Nice to have the framework done!
