The Three Phases of Healthy Lifestyle
– Healthy Eating– Adequate exercise– Stress management
7
I must confess
8
Healthy Eating• Diets are temporary • If you want to lose weight and keep it off
you must change your lifestyle• “Healthy Eating Lifestyle”!
9
Healthy Eating…
• Eat more to lose weight!
You should be eating five to six small meals a day
• The six meals you will be having are:– breakfast
– mid-morning meal/snack
– lunch
– mid-afternoon meal/snack
– dinner
– evening meal/snack (Not after 9pm, if possible)
10
Take Your Portions• Each meal and snack should
consist of:– one low-fat/lean protein food– one good carbohydrate. – A green vegetable should be
included in at least the lunch and dinner meal, but can be included in more during the day.
11
Drink your WATER!!
Never drink your calories!!! – You should be getting ZERO calories and
ZERO sugar from your main beverage!
– Make sure it is unsweetened tea and then add a sugar substitute.
– If you absolutely have to have a soft drink, drink a diet soda instead of regular.

Find a Balance
• When organizations provide on-site daycare facilities, they are filling a needed role in parents’ lives, and making it easier for parents to attend to their job demands rather than worry about child-care arrangements.
• When employees expect organizations to provide child care, they are shifting their responsibilities to their employers, rather than keeping their family needs and concerns private. Moreover, it’s unfair to give child-care benefits when not all employees have children.
