The Curriculum in Details:
A successful weight management strategy depends on several factors. We would be focusing on the 3 most important ones i.e. Nutrition, Exercise and Behavior. We will discuss how the so called ‘dieting’ is not a solution to the weight gain/loss problems. We will discuss and analyze different criteria for optimal and strategic weight management.
Module 1: Nutrition for weight management
A. The problem
Here we discuss about the causes and consequences of being over-weight and under-weight and the available solutions.

• Low Glycemic Load

C. Optimal Weight-Loss Diet
Lifelong weight control requires lifelong lifestyle changes. Apart from the above 17 effective criteria for ideal weight-loss diet, we need to also include these 4 criteria to make the diet optimal. We will discover how these are important for sustainable weight management.
• Sustainable
• Safe
• Nutritionally complete
• Life-extending
D. Weight-Loss Boosters
Here we will discuss the array of tools than can drive or boost further weight loss, for example, how to take the accountability, suppressing the appetite intelligently, managing the eating rate, tweaking the exercise, different fat blockers and burners, forming good habits, keeping up the hydration, quenching the inflammation, adopting intermittent fasting, managing the meal frequency, boosting the metabolism, effectively preloading negative calorie, enhancing the sleep and managing the stress hormone.
Module 2: Exercise for weight management
In this module, we will discuss the benefits of exercise for weight management and good health. For example, Exercise is helpful for weight management. Exercise can increase metabolism, or how many calories you burn in a day. It can also help you maintain and increase lean body mass, which also helps increase number of calories you burn each day.
Topics covered are:
• Body systems involved in physical activity
• Benefits of an active lifestyle
• Physical activity assessment
• Physical fitness assessment
• Role of physical activity in weight management
• Developing activity programs that work
• Keeping physical activity safe
• Adopting an active lifestyle
Module 3: Behaviours change for weight management
Nutrition is important, so is Exercise for weight management but without Behaviour or lifestyle changes the target might not be achieved. It is like Nutrition, Exercise and Behaviour are the legs of a 3-legged stool. If one of the legs is missing then the entire stool falls. This applies to weight management strategies also.
In this module we will discuss the benefits of Behaviour or lifestyle (the 3rd leg of the stool) changes for weight management.
