<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:16px;color:#008000;"><strong>Health at Every Size Workshop</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 26px; "><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3">®</font></span><br><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"><em>Hosted by the OPHA Health Education and Promotion Section</em></span></strong></span><br>
<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Despite findings that diets don’t work, health professionals are still promoting weight loss. New and exciting research is available on both the physiologic and psychological benefits of non-diet approaches. The evidence suggests that implementing health programming from the weight-neutral Health at Every Size (HAES</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 26px; font-size: 12pt; ">®</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; ">) perspective may be more effective at promoting permanent dietary and physical activity behavior change than traditional approaches.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Dawn Clifford, PhD, RD and Michelle Neyman Morris, PhD, RD will highlight the benefits of non-diet approaches and the potentially negative health outcomes of weight-centered approaches. Participants will learn useful strategies and resources for implementing non-diet concepts into health promotion programming through engaging and interactive activities.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Following the presentation, participants will be able to:</span><br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Describe the differences between health programs that follow a weight-focused (diet) paradigm verses a weight-neutral (non-diet) paradigm. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Define common non-diet approach terms.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Describe five advantages of incorporating non-diet approaches into health programming. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Define weight bias and size discrimination and describe their negative effects on health.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Identify strategies and resources for developing evidence-based health interventions grounded in non-diet concepts such as intuitive eating, body acceptance, and enjoyable physical activity.</span></li>
