LOW CARB, LOW FAT... NORMAL EATING - WHAT IS THAT?

To say that nutritional recommendations for wellness are constantly changing would certainly not be an overstatement of the truth. Contradictory epidemiological and scientific findings over the past decade have resulted in a plethora of confusing and conflicting information for practitioners and the general public alike and a seemingly endless deluge of fad diets with little scientific foundation or documented efficacy. This workshop will focus on the concept of “Normal Eating” and how this approach can cut through the confusion and misinformation that abounds in nutrition to help people develop a more peaceful and healthful relationship with food. The science supporting the use of internal regulation of food intake by humans will be examined and applications for wellness professionals in a wide variety of fields will be explored.
