Course Description:

With body dissatisfaction at an all-time high and rates of obesity and chronic disease
rising, consumers are overwhelmed, confused, and desperate to try diets and
supplements that promise weight loss. However, many of the fad diets which
encourage elimination without justification may have short- and long-term health
consequences. Nutrition recommendations for losing weight must also preserve lean
mass, decrease fat mass, and optimize health. To resonate and educate, strategies
must be sustainable, inclusive, realistic, and affordable.
