serving size of a specific food.
Nutrition information helpful forYour own nutritional requirements
Serving sizesSpecial dietslow sodiumlow fatlow potassiumhigh fiber
The viewer will describe how portion sizes have changed over the last 20 years
and the increased caloric intake resulting from that change.
Recommended Daily Allowances(RDA’s) for a 2000 calorie diet
Grains – 6 ouncesFruits - 2 cupsvegetables – 2 ½ cupsDairy products- 3 cups Meats/beans – 5 ½ ounces
Morbidity and mortality are linked to a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle

Abstract
Obesity is a health problem that the United States has struggled with for
decades, and there are many health problems associated with obesity. The
obesity epidemic is decreasing quality of life for millions and driving up the cost
of healthcare .
Obesity is a modifiable risk factor, and when people adopt healthy lifestyles
and lose weight, they can reverse many detrimental health problems.
By improving access to health maintenance activities and providing nutrition
counseling on portion sizes and food label reading, clients will have improved
knowledge to increase healthy behaviors and promote weight loss with an
eventual decrease in risk factors related to obesity
