Description
This book provides a conceptual model and evidence-based school interventions for understanding obesity and eating disordered behaviors. It advocates for body acceptance and intuitive eating based on awareness of the body’s hunger and satiety cues.
This helpful book provides ideas on healthy eating for school personnel to implement in their schools. It introduces the "Healthy Student Approach," which is a holistic way of addressing obesity. Given the poor eating habits of many students, the book helps school personnel guide these young people in making better choices.
School personnel at every level would be wise to read this book in order to create a truly informed and evidence-based program of healthy eating and food awareness. Similarly, the many recommendations found in the book are relevant at elementary, middle and secondary school grades.
