Checking in: Monitoring
What are you noticing about your eating?
Hunger


Why you eat
Stomach hunger




you should eat when you are hungry
skipping meals increases hunger
too much hunger leads to overeating
Head hunger

= the great unknown…or not...
Emotional Eating



What are the typical emotions that trigger
eating for you?
This is serving a purpose (not hunger)
The scenario:

you get emotional, then you eat
The In-Depth Scenario

more behavior oriented
must be measurable to work
Goal Attributes

Positive
Specific
Under your control
Achievable
Important to YOU
Sample Goals



I will walk at least 10 minutes 3 times/week
for 2 weeks
I will eat 1/2 cup ice cream at least 3
times/week for 2 weeks
When I get a craving at night and want to
eat, I will wait 5 minutes before deciding
what to eat - using the microwave timer to
keep track
“Goal Ladder”

I will purchase a swim suit that week
I will start by taking classes at least once/week for 2
weeks by June 28
Vitamins/Minerals




Basic vitamin/mineral information.
Vitamins and energy.
Do you need to take a vitamin pill?
What about phytonutrients (plant substances)?
40+ vitamins and
minerals are known.
New substances are
being researched.
Metabolize your food.
Make energy
Build muscle and bone.
Use your brain.
Vitamins



Regulators:
Partner with enzymes that
make reactions happen in
your body
Water Soluble:
B complex and C are
carried in blood stream,
excreted in urine
Need to be regularly
replenished through intake
Fat Soluble
A, D, E, K dissolve in fat
and the body stores them
Minerals


Part of many cells like
calcium in bones
Also a part of enzymes
RDA-DRI-AI-UL-DV-HUH?

Dietary Reference Intake (DRI)
RDA or AI

Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs)
Scientifically confirmed recommendation

Adequate Intakes (AIs)
No RDA – not enough scientific information

Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
Maximum intake that likely won’t pose health risks

Daily Values (DVs)
Based on old RDAs; used for food labeling
