Healthy Weight
What’s the key to a healthy weight loss?
Calories in vs. Calories Out
The benefits of achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight
Assessing Your Risk
Body Mass Index (BMI) shows how body weight related to height.
Hip-to-waist ratio is calculated by dividing your waist measurement by your hip measurement.
Body fat percentage calculates how much of your total body weight is made up of fat.
Safe and effective weight loss – 1-2 lbs./week.
Establish short and long term goals
Permanent lifestyle change
Talk to your doctor
Food and activity journal
Healthy Breakfast
Most important meal of the day
Eating breakfast is associated with better weight control
Skipping breakfast = slower metabolic rate, blood sugar drops,
energy level drops, hunger increases…..
Result: Impulsive snacking, larger portions at lunch and dinner
Fuel and nourish your body with foods high in nutrients, vitamins,
and minerals
Improves concentration, performance, strength and endurance!
Putting a Healthy Breakfast Together

whole grain or bran as
their first ingredients and
contain at least 2 grams
of dietary fiber per
serving
Cheerios, Wheaties,
Raisin Bran, Bran
Flakes, Kashi Cereal,
Trader Joe’s O’s, Total
Choose foods from at
least 2 food groups
Protein takes longer to
digest and keeps you
feeling full longer
