The Center for Integrated Nutrition and Performance, which is located in the Daskalakis Athletic Center, offers a weight management program for Drexel University faculty and staff that taps into the expertise of the University community to teach healthy lifestyle choices. The program includes boxed lunches, nutrition and fitness assessments, weekly classes and weight checks, and sample meal plans with visual food models. Sessions cover such topics as behavioral modification, tops on how to meet the National Physical Activity Guidelines every week, how to avoid drinking your calories, snacking smart, feeling full on fewer calories, and portion distortion. The total cost for the course, Weight Management for a Healthier U, is $100 and the deadline for registration is Monday, January 7, 2013. Space in the class is limited, so interested faculty and staff should register in-person at the Athletic Center welcome desk as soon as possible.
