Type of Work: Indy Product: Guided Questions/Snip Class Time: 1 Period EOC: Place inside lesson 4 Due:1 Period
Concept: So weve spent the better part of the week discussing what you shouldnt eat, how our diet has changed and why our brains tell us to eat those food we know we shouldnt. Lets start to explore how you should eat. As we stated at the beginning of the year its safe to assume we do know how to eat (for the most part). There are a lot of recommendations out there but they are for the most part very similar and commonsensical. Goals: (1) Define Moderation in healthy eating and apply it to food selection. (2)Identify USDA guidelines/ recommendations for a healthy diet (and discuss the critique of these recommendations by the Harvard School of Public Health, among others). (3) Define portion distortion (identify recommended portion sizes) and discuss the impact it has on weight gain.

Today Target 1: USDA Recommendations and Critique Briefly look over the new food plate: Go to: (You will be expected have an understanding of its basic concepts) Go to: Harvard School of Public Health (HSoPH) criticizes the USDAs guidelines. Explain why (in your own words). Harvard says that USDA has all of their things based on statics which they claim is not always the best way to judge on nutrition. What are the 3 recommendations in the new plate that the HSoPH agrees with? 1Half of your plate should be vegetables and fruits. 2About one-quarter of your plate should be grains and one-quarter protein. 3Drink fat-free or
low-fat (1%) milk and water instead of soda, sports drinks, and other sugary drinks.

What are the 3 they (HSoPH) feel do not reflect the latest nutrition science? Explain why in the ( ) -own words! 1 (The guidelines recommendation to increase the intake of low -fat milk and dairy products seems to reflect the interests of the powerful dairy industry more so than the latest science. ) 2 (The guidelines also dont give adequate warning about the hazards of processed meats, such as bacon and hot dogs, which are e ven more strongly linked to heart disease and diabetes. )

3 (Over time, eating too much of these refined grain foods can make it harder to control weight, and can raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes.) Look over the HSoPH Pyramid: Explain 3 Major Differences and 3 Similarities to Plate Similarities Differences 1 Eat sweets sparingly. 1. Drink alcohol in moderation. 2 Eat 2 servings of dairy a day. 2. Exercise daily.

3Eat lots of protein. 3. Eat healthy oils. Pick 3 of the following and Explain the Rationale behind the Major Changes Below Whole Grains Whole Grains: 1.oatmeal 2.whole wheat bread 3.brown rice Refined Carbs (below): 1.causes blood sugar to rise 2.causes insulin levels to rise 3.heart diseases Fat to Avoid: Avoid saturated fat and any foods that are processed from machinery Avoid Starchy Foods Like this: potatoes Why Whole Grains: Better control of blood sugar and insulin can keep hunger at bay and prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Protects against: Over time, eating too much of these refined grain foods can make it harder to control weight, and can raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Average American Gets What % of Calories from Fat? The average American gets one-third or more of his or her daily calories from fats Protects which Organ? Protect the heart from sudden and potentially deadly rhythm problems. Protects against (4 items): 1) cancer 2) heart attack 3) blood pressure 4) diverticulitis Why dont starchy foods count?
