Overweight and obesity are at epidemic proportions in the USA. Americans are eating more and moving less than in any other generation in our history.

In this course the student will learn statistics that confirm these statements and dietary intake patterns that have led our nation to this demise and what will need to happen to change the future.

Meal patterns, portion sizes, psychosocial changes, activity interventions, motivational techniques, and technology can and will all play a role in changing the trajectory. Individualization is the key to success in weight loss programs. Students will learn simple ways to tailor weight loss programs to each client instead of promoting a "cookie-cutter" approach.
