fad diets-and yet are still unclear as to what constitutes a healthy diet that promotes sustainable weight loss. The reason for this is due to the fact that nutrition education often does not focus on strategies that you can use in your everyday life.
The Wellspring Nutrition Curriculum, on the other hand, focuses on skill development and hands-on learning experiences. Campers not only learn valuable skills such as how to identify pertinent information on a food label and to order a healthy dish off a restaurant menu, they actually visit a grocery store and a restaurant in order to put those skills to the test in real-life.
Other topics covered in Wellspring’s nutrition education program include:
- The role of carbohydrate (fiber), fat, and protein in a healthy diet.
- How to keep an accurate food diary and utilize the information it contains to make informed food decisions.
- Scientific research regarding successful long-term weight control.
- Dissecting fad diets and identifying how the Wellspring Plan differs.
- Identifying situations that make weight control difficult and brainstorming solutions.
- Creating a meal plan and grocery shopping list.
