Learning objectives & benefits:

This Shopping Smart for Weight Loss PowerPoint, Shopping Tour Program and Handouts lesson plan teaches individuals how to choose lower calorie foods in the grocery store. It can be used in a classroom, for individual counseling or in a grocery store tour. Take them on a tour of the grocery store in the PowerPoint show and explain what they should consider in every aisle. Tour tips, product example and comparison idea and more help illustrate your point so they see and learn.

Use this program before a tour or as a virtual tour. Use the tips and handouts on a real tour.

The PowerPoint program is a virtual store tour - you can see pictures of two carts with the same amount of food. One cart has a lot more calories and costs a lot more money - yet it has fewer meals. Filling up with healthy foods is the answer. This tour will help them make better choices for their pocket book, waist line and health.

Shopping and cooking are two essential skills for everyone to learn to have better body weight and health.

Here are the lesson plans given for the show and the leader guide with handouts:

• • Grains, breads, pasta, cereals , packaged foods - which are the best choices for weight loss?
  • Produce and canned foods - build many meals and meal ideas here
  • Dairy foods - wow the choices are plenty - how do you sort through them quickly? What should you beware of?
