Three Target Behaviors

1. Translate movement into exercise calories per minute. Shape a clients activity to reach a minimum of 2000 calories a week in exercise. Help the client to maintain a healthy % body fat by increasing muscle mass and decreasing fat.

2. Reduce fat intake to 25% or less (most of the time) by building simple “pat” (routine) meals that include 5 - 6 cups of vegetables per day that lower overall fat intake.

3. Reduce total fat and calories in 4 basic living environments by teaching simple problem solving and a calorie language. The environments include:

• Supermarket = what goes into the cart goes into our bodies
• Food preparation. Pat meals that have more fiber and fewer calories
• How to order in restaurants to support health and calorie goals
• How to handle the work environment, traveling, friends homes, and any other environment they encounter
