    A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons

    Achieving & Maintaining a Healthy Weight Course

    This course offers an in-depth outline on ways to achieve and maintain a healthy bodyweight. An introduction to the modern-day diet is given, highlighting how our food choices, food availability and our lifestyles have led to unwanted weight gain. Physiological mechanisms associated with fluctuations in bodyweight are approached in detail, including the mind-gut connection, weight-regulating hormones, sleep patterns and the complex interaction between mood and food intake beyond simple hunger cues.

    Lessons presented in this course look at evidence surrounding low fat, low carbohydrate, and high protein diets, their impact on weight-loss and their sustainability. Topics also discussed within the lessons making up this course include metabolism, blood sugars, satiety, insulin and the glycaemic index. Vitamin and mineral intake and the importance of meeting micronutrient needs as well as dietary fibre is stressed.

    This course thus highlights the challenging but crucially important role behavioural and lifestyle changes are in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Guidance is given on the importance of meal timing in addition to estimating portion sizes. Nutritional and weight loss supplements and their pros and cons are discussed, and a detailed outline of key healthy habits for weight loss and keeping the weight off are given. Tips for eating out, the importance of physical exercise and dealing with setbacks are also key topics.
