Living a Healthy Lifestyle: managing your weight
One-day workshop
This course focuses on how to work towards a healthier lifestyle and particularly about how to manage your weight. Many of us struggle to understand the reasons why it is so hard to eat a healthy diet and to manage our weight. This course will explore what is effective healthy eating to support your physical and mental wellbeing. We will discuss the environmental and personal issues that affect our lifestyle and our diet. Using a range of food and drink items students will discuss how we make decisions about our diet. By the end of the day we will help each student to develop a personal action plan to suit their own requirements for managing their weight.
Topics covered in the course will include knowledge of what is effective healthy eating; what helps and hinders people to manage their weight; building confidence to take the first steps to managing weight; and the support available to help people to lose weight.
The course facilitators will be the Trust Head of Nutrition & Dietetic Services, a peer recovery trainer and a senior practitioner trainer from the Recovery College.
As this is a pilot we will be asking people to complete a short questionnaire before and after the course and we will be asking evaluation questions during the course to learn whether the exercise is effective.
