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?

Here is what other customers are saying about this product:

I have enjoyed your 12 Lessons of Weight Loss materials and have used the Portion Control DVD with my groups in our multidisplinary Bariatrics program. Randall Feezell. M.D. 

Attached are our overall stats for the 10 week program.  We had optional onsite weigh ins at about 14 locations (about ½ of participants did this)  but “Educational” materials (almost entirely your stuff) was provided online on our internal website for our locations spread far and wide around the Carolinas. 3102 employees lost 9530 pounds and now we are on our next set of 12 lessons. Thanks!  Lauren Hatcher, MS, RD, LDN, CWPC

The presentation gives a great general overview of what healthy ideas need to be followed. We have added a show-and-tell portion to demonstrate 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 their 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!

The handouts for your programs have been great. Thank you!

Materials have been very helpful and informative.

Thank you for such a thorough and concise product! We received an abundance of positive feedback from those we presented the material to, and we will continue to utilize the courses. Krista Bobo.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the wonderful added tidbits you are constantly sending us.  The information is always useful, current, and fun.  I recently purchased the wellness/weight management program from you and my boss (a nurse/educator) is still raving about how fantastic and versatile the program is.  I am so anxious to start using it come Sept.  So, thank you again, for the amazing job you do to keep us timely with our nutrition messages.
