March Materials and Equipment

February went by SO fast and not it is all of a sudden March! Can you believe it? This month, I am going to be talking about yet another aspect of food an nutrition: Fad Dieting. I will be discussing the different kinds of diets out there, what they base their theories off of, and about the benefits of the diets as well as what the diets are missing.

In order to follow along with the topic and discussions for this month, you will need to get the following materials and equipment:

Book: "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes


The book will be broken down into five sections, one section for each week. I will continue to do book discussions on Wednesdays. The first section will cover the introduction through chapter 3; the second section will cover chapters 4 through 9; the third will cover chapters 10 through 15 ; the fourth will cover chapters 16 and 17; and the final section will cover chapters 18 and 19.

Movies: We will be watching "Foodmatters" on  Friday, March 11th and "The Beautiful Truth" on Friday, March 25th.


Magazines: I will be talking about magazine articles that come out of the monthly editions of Health Magazine, Women's Health Magazine, Natural Health Magazine, and Experience Life. I may also read other magazines as the months progress, but I will notify you if I do.
