Background
- Midlife Facilitator Package
Leave
dieting out of the midlife equation
Aging
baby boomers can take advantage of a new resource for this time
of transition. A three to four hour workshop called Celebrating
Midlife Madness offers practical guidance on how to maintain
health while embracing this normal progression of life.
The
workshop is based on the new chapter in a revised version of
the best selling how-to book, You Count, Calories Don' t (first
published in 1992), by registered dietitian and entrepreneur,
Linda Omichinski. Linda was inspired to add the new chapter to
her book through her extensive experience with helping people
get off the diet roller coaster through a lifestyle program that
eliminates the scales and calorie counting. Midlife weight
gain is a big issue with women, Linda says. It made
sense to apply our expertise with the tools that enable people
to get off the diet roller coaster to the unique challenges of
the mid-life transition.
You
Count, Calories Dont has enjoyed an international reach
through the network of more than 200 lifestyle professionals
who use You Count, Calories Dont as the core material in
Lindas nondiet program called Hugs. Thousands of people
seeking a lifestyle without diets from Alaska to New Zealand
and from Great Britain to California have benefited from the
earlier versions.
The
HUGS network is inviting interested professionals from related
fields such as social workers, nurses, and educators and other
dietitians to join the current network for delivery of this new
service. |
