El programa Nacional DPP de cambio de estilo de vida no es un programa de nutrición individualizado. Tampoco pretende ser una dieta restrictiva o prescriptiva. Muchos entrenadores de estilo de vida luchan con este enfoque menos directivo para el cambio de estilo de vida y se preguntan si dar una orientación más específica daría resultados más rápidos o más ideales. En este seminario web se revisará y explicará el enfoque actual de la alimentación saludable presentado en el plan de estudios Prevent T2 de 2021. Entrenadores de estilo de vida experimentados con formación en ciencias de la nutrición compartirán sus conocimientos.

These factors can influence someone’s ability to effectively participate in programs like the National DPP. In this webinar, Lifestyle Coaches will explore the ways in which one’s culture can help or hinder their engagement and progress in the lifestyle change program.
