Editor's Notes
- Leader Guide for Healthy Habits for Life Thank you for choosing Healthy Habits for Life: Your 6 Week Guide to Food and Fitness. This Leader Guide is designed as a series of slides. Teaching tips and activity ideas for each week are listed on the “Notes” section of the title slide for each week. Each slide was taken directly from the text of the book. Participants will find it easy to understand the lecture by following in their books. The slides are divided into: an introduction a presentation for each of the six weeks a summary You may down load them for free from this web site, save them on your hard drive and add to them or change them to suit your individual needs. General Guidelines The classes are designed to be taught in 6 one hour sessions but experience has shown that there is a lot of information to cover and the classes may be better taught dividing them slightly differently than the book is divided. Week Two (Eat Well) can really take two weeks to teach and Weeks 5 & 6 (Shop Smart and Fit It In) can both be covered in one session. There is enough material that the entire program could be extended to 8-10 weeks. It is very important at the beginning of the program to set some ground rules. The nature of the material lends itself to much class discussion. Participants should be made aware of the amount of material to be covered in one short hour and the need to be respectful of the time. It may be necessary to meet separately with particularly outspoken persons out side of class time to address personal issues. Ideally, each participant would have a one hour consultation before the beginning of the program to help them through some of the personal information in Week Two and becoming familiar with their goals, concerns, etc.
- Instructors have found that this week contains a lot of information and is better covered in two sessions. Part One: Walk participants through the Eat Well piece. If they can complete some or all of it before class you will save a lot of time. When discussing portion sizes it is helpful to bring in actual food items and dishes or props like a tennis ball (1/2c serving), deck of cards (2-3 oz serving) or food models. Spend time discussing actual portion sizes eaten and how to calculate them. There tend to be a lot of questions on this information. It is valuable but time consuming. If Eat Well has not been completed before class, you may want to assign it to be done at home for the next week. Give them time to figure out calorie needs in class. There are many questions on this session and it is important to have class time to answer them. Stress that these numbers are only estimates and are providing them with a range not an exact number. Ending the first part of this session on page 26 is a good place to stop and gives participants an eating plan to follow for the next week. Part Two: Start this session by reviewing the first part of week two and go over the Daily Amount of Food From Each Group on page 23. Discuss which food groups they may be over or under consuming and how they could incorporate more or less of these foods into their diets. Start the new information on page 27, The News on Nutrients. Participants tend to be very interested in this information and will spend a lot of time asking questions and sharing information with each other.
- The plan your have developed is a set of general guidelines, not a rigid prescription.
