Eating On the Run
Learn the best meal options and snack suggestions when you are in a hurry and have no time to prepare meals at home. Leave this one hour session with strategies as to how you can make healthy decisions when you need to make good food choices fast.

Food for Thought: A Review of the Current Dietary Guidelines
In these times of fad diets and misleading information, turn to the latest research-based guidelines that outline nutrition basics for a healthier you. Take the challenge and test your knowledge of carbohydrates, alcohol, saturated fats, and discretionary calories. Follow food-safety guidelines to keep your family free from food-borne illness.

Goodbye, Diet! Hello, Health!
Re-think your weight management game plan! Explore the psychosocial determinants of weight gain and examine factors that have contributed to our nation's struggle with weight. Journey outside the confines of weight loss and discover the joys of gaining health through practicing healthy behaviors. Determine what influences your current eating and exercise habits, and learn to develop new behaviors while feeling good about your choices!

Healthy Eating Island Style
Here in Hawaii, we love our food. Is our way of eating contributing to the ever-increasing rates of obesity we always hear about, or can local favorites "fit" into a healthy diet? This workshop will provide the essential tools and strategies that can help make healthier food choices easier. Topics include understanding the risk of unhealthy food choices, a basic understanding of the Food Guide Pyramid, and how to identify healthier local food choices.

Meatless Alternatives
Whether investigating the vegetarian diet, exploring your "veg curious" side, or simply looking for ways to add healthful variety to your regular fare, this workshop covers the basic principles of healthy eating without using meat. You'll explore the common elements of all foods and see ways to obtain the necessary nutrients for a healthy lifestyle exclusively from plant sources. The information is especially geared for beginners.

Season's Eatings
The Holidays are full of temptations: buffets, parties, desserts, drinking, etc. In this workshop "moderation" is the way to go as we discuss strategies to maintain your weight (and health) while still enjoying yourself. Also covered are food safety, calorie awareness, and the effects of container size, design, and proximity on eating habits.
