Eat Happy Teen Workshop Descriptions
Mindful Eating and how to eat with more intention
In our non-stop and on-the-go culture, our teens rarely take the time to really gauge their hunger or eat with intention. It is easy for them to eat too fast, too much, and when they aren't even hungry.
In this workshop, your teen will explore what mindful eating is and how to practice it daily. They will leave with useful tips on how to start eating with more intention so that they can develop a positive relationship with food from an early age as well as enhance their overall eating experience.
The Impact of Sugar on Mood, Energy, and Willpower
Your teen will explore the impact of sugar on their brain chemistry and start to understand how sugar can negatively impact their mood and energy levels. They will also learn why the concept of self-control and willpower is a total myth.
They will begin to build their awareness of how much sugar they consume by learning how to read a food label and quickly identify the various sources of sugar in a product as well as calculate the overall sugar content.
Your teen will leave with solid strategies to help them decrease their overall sugar consumption, rewire their brain to experience fewer cravings, and take control without deprivation.
