This document outlines a plan to influence employees to adopt healthy eating habits using the Theory of Planned Behaviour. It analyzes employees' current beliefs and attitudes related to eating healthy versus desired beliefs and attitudes. It then provides concepts and tools to help make the transition, targeting behavioral beliefs and attitudes, normative beliefs and subjective norms, and control beliefs and perceived behavioral control. Progress will be tracked using individual and group assessments of knowledge, attitudes, and eating habits over time to measure the effectiveness of the initiative.

10 rules to live a healthy lifestyle for kidsYasser Shaikh
Health and nutrition are not the same thing but they are interrelated! Nutrition is the sum of all-things-health that we consume daily to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The Transitions Lifestyle System Instructor's Guide was developed to provide training, and to serve as an ongoing reference for new instructors in conducting Transitions Weight Management group programs. Numerous materials, both existing and newly created, were pulled together to develop one comprehensive reference. The following portions excerpted here include those portions that I personally developed, wrote and/or reformatted. For instance, the data sheets were based on publicly available information taken from the website and reformatted accordingly. All other portions of the excerpted document are original pieces developed by myself, including the cover.
This program explores the mind-body connection of food, hunger, craving, taste and the feeling of being full or satiated. We explore the why's and how's of eating and look at how you can take small steps to get back on the road and on the scale. Bring your stomach and your desire for a leaner, more mindful you.
During our Entrepreneurial Europe 2015, Dr. David Vollmer, Chief Scientific Officer, shared tips to a better lifestyle with healthier habits on nutrition, physical activity and using 4Life products.
During my training, I studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and innovative coaching methods with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts. My teachers included Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine; Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine; Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center; Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University; Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating; and many other leading researchers and nutrition authorities.
