  • Create and design your (the student) own diet with explanations as to why this diet would work best for you. Remember to also study the My Plate food group recommendations for each day. Keep a journal for two weeks documenting how you did with the diet choices and where you ate, times you ate, how hungry you felt when you ate, and details about your physical activity
  • After watching the video ask students to answer the following questions: 1. What new information did you learn from the video? 2. What information surprised you? Why? 3. What was the most important or interesting information that you heard? Explain your thinking. 4. How can you relate this information to your own life?
