This session will break down the evidence for all, helping you to help others take the best from each approach, creating a realistic and successful eating style for life.

Learning Objectives

• Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two rigid eating styles.

• Advise clients how to avoid common pitfalls of both diets, to ensure they are a healthy “vegan” or “palean.”

• Teach a blended “pagen” eating style that captures the strengths of both, for a less restrictive and more realistic eating pattern that the entire family can enjoy.

ACSM's 2016 Health & Fitness Summit: Activity Trackers: Reaching the Non-Movers

By Carol Kennedy-Armbruster & Dixie Stanforth

Two prac-ademics explore the realities of the health/fitness industry shifting health behaviors of just 20% of the population. How do we “reach” the 80% who are not involved? Do they need “exercise” or is becoming less sedentary and moving more enough? Case studies and stories from the field provide insights about how to use behavior change theory to connect with those making daily activity choices that affect health. Attendees will learn how to integrate evidence-based practices into daily routines, targeting individuals who are in the contemplation/preparation stage of change.
