    WHY DO IT?

    The goal o the Fit Plan is to generate measurable improvements

    in students eating habits, ftness levels, goal-setting abilities and

    positive attitudes toward personal health. The program guides

    youth through the process o how to lead a healthy liestyle and

    inspires them to share their knowledge o good health with others.

    WHO CAN USE IT?

    mentors, youth organization leaders, a parent or anyone else

    who may be taking students through the program. Background

    inormation, teacher tips, and web resources are available so the

    program can be conducted with ease and confdence.

    WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE?

    The program is organized into six units designed to be exible.

    INTRODUCTIONTO THE PROGRAM:

    There are a number o tools in place throughout the curriculum

    to make program delivery simple and user-riendly. Teaching

    students how to lead a healthy liestyle requires the teacher

    to have a oundational knowledge o health concepts. Those

    oundational concepts are provided throughout the curriculumso the program can be delivered without any additional research.

    However, health inormation is constantly evolving and access

    to new inormation continues to become available, so program

    material may change over time. Internet resources can always

    oer up-to-date inormation.

    FIT PLAN: LIVING HEALTHY HEALTH BASICS

    FIT PLAN: LIVING HEALTHY

    HEALTH BASICS

    TRENDS IN HEALTH:

    Over the past several years researchers have noticed an alarming

    increase in childhood obesity related to dietary habits and a lack

    o physical activity. Overweight children and adolescents are at an

    increased risk or developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular

    related diseases such as heart disease, high cholesterol and high

    blood pressure. Approximately nine million U.S. children over theage o six are considered obese (Institute o Medicine, 2005).

    SIMPLE NUTRITION(MYPYRAMID.GOV):

    Eat rom all FIVE ood groups

    Make hal your grains WHOLE

    Vary your veggies

    Focus on ruits

    Get your calcium rich oods

    Go lean with protein Eat as close to nature as possible. Look or

    oods that have a short list o ingredients.

    FAT FOCUS:

    Hard Fats:

    Animal origin

    Linked to heart disease and cancer

    Liquid Fats:

    Plant or fsh origin

    Healthy ats

    CALORIES AND FOOD:

    When we consume ood and drinks our bodies are taking in

    calories. Calories rom ood give us the energy we need to

    perorm normal body unctions and daily activities. The more

    active a person is, the more calories (or energy) they need.

    I a person regularly takes in more calories than they expend,

    it is likely weight gain will occur and the person will be at anincreased risk or health problems. Young people should not be

    overly concerned with calorie numbers, instead the ocus should

    be on choosing healthy ood sources, appropriate portion sizes

    and getting enough physical activity.

    NUTRITION LABEL:

    The nutrition label includes inormation about the serving size,

    nutrients and ingredients. Read the label to help make inormed

    decisions about ood and drink choices.

    PORTION CONTROL:

    Portion sizes continue to grow! Read the nutrition label to fnd

    out the recommended serving size o oods or drinks. You can

    also use the visual cues or portion sizes ound in the activity

    Whats on Your Plate?

    MODERATION IS KEY:

    Making healthy choices is a ull-time job, but it is important or

    kids to understand they can still eat their avorite oods. Foods

    and drinks that are considered unhealthy can still be consumed

    in moderation.

    FITNESS GUIDELINES:

    The Centers or Disease Control recommends children get

    60 minutes o physical activity every day.

    FIT PLAN: LIVING HEALTHY HELPFUL TIPS

    FIT PLAN: LIVING HEALTHY

    HELPFUL TIPS

    HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO MAKE THE FIT PLANEVEN MORE EXCITING FOR THE KIDS YOU WORK WITH!

    1. Have un with this program. Take risks and try new ideas.

    2. Start the class with an activity that gets kids up and moving. This is a great way to learn about one another and is always motivating.

    3. Maintain a sae space where students are respectul o each other and can express ideas reely without ear o being judged.

    4. Give students the opportunity to show their own leadership styles. Invite individuals to write on the chalk/white board, set up the

    room, lead a discussion, read aloud or call on other students.

    5. Share your story. Be willing to share who you are. Modeling openness will help the students open up to you and to each other. For

    example, i they are having a difcult time with something, share a difcult experience you have had.

    6. Personally check in with each student. Greet them individually, ask them how they are doing today or i you remember something

    specifc about a student, make a reerence to it. This helps the student eel welcome and special since you have gone out o your way

    to connect with him/her.

    7. Connect the dots and always show the kids how the subject matter applies to their lives.

    8. Show them the way. Help your students see their utures and develop a plan to get there.

    9. Dont be araid to challenge them. Most kids are ready to be stimulated. Thats why they are in your classroom.

    The more problem solving they complete on their own, the more they value themselves.

    10. Use humor this takes the pressure o, creates bonding, builds relationship; and students love to laugh!

    MATERIALS:Copies o Student Sheet 1.1a and 1.1b

    Folders to be used as portolios

    Paper

    WHOLE GROUP:

    1. Ask students to complete Student Sheet 1.1a. When students

    are done, collect the assessment and fle away until the end

    o the program. It is not necessary to discuss student answers.The students will take this same assessment at the end o the

    program to see i they have changed their views and opinions.

    2. Pass out a portolio to each student to be used throughout the

    program. Students should save their completed Student Sheets

    and their notes in their portolios. You may want students to

    personalize their portolios with stickers, images, words and

    phrases that describe their personal qualities.

    3. Give each student 5 10 sheets o lined or plain paper or their

    portolios to be used or activities and notes.

    the class 10 15 minutes to complete the activity.

    5. Share the health acts below with the group and engage in group

    discussion about the current health crisis in the United States by

    asking what has led to these circumstances:

    a. The prevalence o obesity in the U.S. more than doubled (rom 15% to 34%) among adults and more than tripled

    (rom 5% to 17%) among children and adolescents rom 1980 to 2008 (Ofce o the Surgeon General, 2010).

    b. Overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions and are the biggest health concern to the public

    (C.S Mott Childrens Hospital National Poll on Childrens Health, 2008).

    c. I the obesity epidemic continues there is evidence that this will be the frst generation o youth who will have a shorter lie

    expectancy than their parents (A Potential Decline in Lie Expectancy in the United States in the 21st Century, New England

    Journal o Medicine, 2005).

    d. Two-thirds o all adults and nearly one in three children are overweight or obese (Ofce o the Surgeon General, 2010)

    NOTE TO TEACHER:

    This activity is an icebreaker and is geared toward

    helping students get to know each other andpreview upcoming nutrition and ftness topics. I

    time permits, discuss some or all o the boxes and

    ask or volunteers to elaborate on their experience

    with each topic.

    EXTENSION ACTIVITIES:

    1. Break the class into fve small groups. Assign each group a ood group. Ask the groups to create a poster that explains their ood

    group and includes the ollowing inormation: how to measure a serving size, the health benefts and nutrients and example oods.

    Posters can be drawn by hand or made on the computer. I computers and internet are available, the groups may want to use the

    Inside the Pyramid section o www.mypyramid.gov. When the groups are fnished they should teach the rest o the class about their

    ood group. Hang the posters around the classroom or the remainder o the session.

    2. Play a ood group guessing game with the students. Place fve examples o oods rom each ood group into separate brown bags. Break

    students into teams and give each group one bag. No one else, besides members o each group, should see what is in their bag. Teams

    must ask each other questions in order to guess the ood and which group the ood item belongs in. I possible, let students taste the

    oods ater the exercise. The more exposure the students have to new oods, the more likely they are to eat those oods.

    3. Create a class graph o the ood groups. Set class goals or eating a certain number o ood groups by a certain date. When the students

    come to class each day have them record the number o servings o each ood group they ate since they last attended class. Students

    may need to keep a log with them to write down their ood groups so they dont orget the oods they are eating. I possible, keep it as

    an ongoing graph throughout the program and analyze i the servings increase or decrease as they learn healthy eating habits.

    1. START HERE:

    Check the serving size and

    the number o servings in the

    package. I you double the

    servings you eat, you need

    to double the calories and

    nutrient amounts.2. CHECK THE TOTAL

    CALORIES PER SERVING:

    A calorie is a unit o

    measurement that measures

    how much energy a ood

    provides the body.

    3. LIMIT THESE

    NUTRIENTS:

    Limit your intake o at,

    cholesterol and sodium.

    Choose oods that have

    5% or less per serving

    o these nutrients.

    4. GET ENOUGH OF

    THESE NUTRIENTS:

    Aim or 100% o fber,

    vitamins and minerals every

    day. Choose oods that have

    20% or more per serving.

    OR MORE IS HIGH:

    The Percent Daily Value tells

    the percent o each nutrient in

    a single serving, based on the

    INGREDIENTS READ THEM!

    Ingredients are listed in order

    o concentration. Foods with

    sugar, oil or salt as one o the

    frst three ingredients should be

    avoided since that means the

    ood is mostly made up o one

    o those ingredients. Foods that

    have a long list o ingredients

    are oten processed and loaded

    with artifcial ingredients. Eat as

    close to nature as possible by

    choosing oods with a short list o

    ingredients. Watch out or disguised

    orms o sugar like high ructose

    corn syrup, ructose, malt syrup,

    malt extract, corn syrup, glucose,

    maltodextrin, lactose, honey and

    molasses.

    TRANS FAT DONT BEFOOLED!

    When the nutrition label says a ood

    contains 0g o trans at, it means

    the ood could actually contain upto 0.5g o trans at per serving.

    I you see the words partially

    hydrogenated in the ingredient list,

    then trans at is present. Trans at

    could add up quickly i you eat

    more than one serving.

    UNIT 2: DISCOVERING GOOD HEALTH ACTIVITY 2.3: WHATS ON YOUR PLATE?

    PURPOSE:Discover recommended portion

    sizes and what a balanced meal

    looks like

    MATERIALS:White/chalk board, chart or paper

    Markers

    Paper plates

    Tape

    Copies o Student Sheet 2.3

    Resource Sheet 2.3

    WHOLE GROUP/INDIVIDUAL:

    PART I: BALANCED PLATE

    1. On the board, chart or paper write Breakast, Lunch, Dinner,

    Snack (space the categories out and leave room underneath to

    write). Ask or volunteers to come to the board and write down

    what they ate or one o the above meals or snack. You should

    gather at least two examples or each snack and meal.

    2. Explain the inormation in the Balanced Plate section o Fast Facts.

    3. Ask the students to take a look back at the example menus on the

    board, chart or paper. Engage the class in a balancing activity in

    which students come to the board and balance the listed meals

    by adding and/or removing oods. Balanced meals should reect

    variety (ood groups), color, and limited at, cholesterol and sodium.

    Work as a group i that better suits your audience.

    PART II: PORTION CONTROL

    1. Ask students to name some out-o-control ood or drink

    portions they have seen at restaurants, in stores, on TV, etc.

    Record on the board, chart or paper. Compare portion sizes

    in the 1970s to current portion sizes. I possible, bring in real

    examples o both portion sizes or a more dramatic appeal.

    (Sizer and Whitney p. 46)

    FAST FACTS:

    BALANCED PLATE:The USDA recommendsthat Americans eat a balanced diet which includes

    ood rom each o the fve ood groups and limits the

    intake o at, cholesterol and sodium. Meals should

    be colorul and ocused around vegetables, whole

    grains and ruits. Try to plan each snack to include

    at least two ood groups and meals to include at

    least three ood groups.

    PORTION CONTROL: Most Americans

    eat portion sizes that are much larger than the

    recommended amount, which can lead to weight gain

    and health problems. Reer to Student Sheet 2.3 and

    mypyramid.gov to fnd inormation on recommended

    portion sizes. Heres a tip: eat slower and drink plenty

    o water beore and during meals.

    2. Ask students i the typical portion sizes in the 1970s seem

    ridiculous? Explain that those portion sizes were normal back

    then and todays portion sizes would have seemed ridiculous

    in the 1970s.

    3. Ask students to explain the types o issues increased portion

    sizes have led to (answer: increases in diet-related disease

    and weight gain).

    4. Cut out the visual cue squares and the corresponding

    ood squares on Resource Sheet 2.3 (take note o the answers

    beore you cut). Tape the visual cues to the board, chart or paper. Show the ood squares to the class and ask or volunteers to come up

    and match a ood square with the visual cue that represents the recommended portion size or that ood. Repeat until all squares are

    matched and all answers are correct. Discuss reactions to these recommended portion sizes.

    5. Pass out Student Sheet 2.3 and explain the inormation in the Portion Control section o Fast Facts. You may also want to reerence

    the My Pyramid website or more details about serving size - www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid.

    6. Students should recall their My Pyramid Plan rom Activity 1.2 (i they completed this tool) to see their recommended daily serving

    size or each o the ood groups.

    7. Pass out a paper plate and ask the students to draw a balanced meal using appropriate portion sizes and color. They may also use the

    computer or magazines to gather images. They should include at least three ood groups in their meal and draw the ood items to scale.

    FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS:

    1. Why is it important to measure serving sizes o ood?

    2. What can you do i you are still hungry ater a balanced meal?

    EXTENSION ACTIVITIES:

    1. Have the students get into small groups and brainstorm ways to eat smaller portion sizes at home and when eating out.

    Display the tips in the classroom or distribute them.

    2. Bring in menus rom popular restaurants in your community. Break the class up into groups and give each group a menu.

    The groups should examine the menu to fnd the healthiest meals and provide suggestions or altering unhealthy dishes.

    Have the group share their fndings with the class. Many restaurants oer their menus online.

    3. Ask students to use a digital camera or their cell phone to take pictures o the various portion sizes they come across when eating.

    Upload the pictures to a computer and analyze the sizes. Provide suggestions or how to alter portions to bring them closer to the

    recommended portion sizes.

    NOTE TO TEACHER:

    I real examples o visual cues are available to you,

    use them, so students can get a better visual. Pass

    the items around so students get a closer look and

    eel o each o the visual cues.

    WHAT CAN VITAMINSDO FOR YOU?

    UNIT 2: DISCOVERING GOOD HEALTH ACTIVITY 2.4: WHAT CAN VITAMINS DO FOR YOU?

    PURPOSE:Determine the unctions o

    vitamins and minerals

    MATERIALS:White/chalk board, chart or paper

    Art supplies

    Computer with internet (optional)

    Copies o Student Sheet 2.4a and 2.4b

    WHOLE GROUP:

    1. Discuss the importance o vitamins, minerals and water

    using the inormation provided in Fast Facts.

    2. Pass out Student Sheet 2.4a and Student Sheet 2.4b. Remind

    the students that every vitamin and mineral helps the body in

    several dierent ways. Ask the students to read the inormation

    on Student Sheet 2.4a and use the body outline on Student

    Sheet 2.4b to label where and how a vitamin/mineral can help

    the body. Students should draw arrows or lines that point out

    specifc parts o the body and explain how that body part is

    aided by a specifc vitamin. For example, students might draw

    eyes, include an arrow near the location o the eye, and above

    or next to the arrow write that Vitamin A improves eyesight.

    Students should continue to add detail to the body outline

    such as hair, bones, muscles, etc., and indicate the vitamin that

    helps that part o the body.FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS:

    1. What i someone doesnt eat or drink a ood like milk or meat

    products that supply key vitamins and minerals? How can they

    be sure to get those important nutrients?

    2. Since vegetables have a lot o vitamins and minerals, what are

    some appealing ways to include vegetables in our diets?

    FAST FACTS:

    Vitamins and minerals are ound in oods we

    eat. They are necessary because they help the

    body unction and develop properly. Vitamins and

    minerals are chemical substances that help the

    body use energy, build proteins, make cells and

    repair injuries. Young people should eat a balanced

    diet ull o a variety o oods to get the vitamins and

    minerals their body needs.

    Water is also essential or lie and is the largest

    component o the body. Water is needed to

    metabolize ood, reduce heat through sweat and

    remove toxins through urination. Without the right

    amount o water, the body cannot maintain the right

    temperature, blood pressure or kidney unction.

    Young people should aim to drink plenty o water

    throughout the day to stay hydrated.

    NOTE TO TEACHER:

    I possible, bring in ruits and vegetables and

    talk about the vitamins they supply as you

    discuss the lesson.

    EXTENSION ACTIVITIES:

    1. Place several unusual ruits and vegetables in separate brown

    paper bags. Ask or volunteers to reach into the bag without

    peeking (students should wash their hands beore doing

    this activity). Give them a minute or so to touch the ruit or

    vegetable and try to identiy it. I a guess is incorrect, ask

    another student to try. Once an item has been named correctly,remove it rom the bag and show it to the class. Repeat until all

    ruits and vegetables have been identifed. Wash the ruits and

    vegetables thoroughly, cut them up into small pieces and allow

    the students to taste the dierent oods. Have the students do

    some internet research to identiy what vitamins and minerals

    the individual ruits and vegetables provide.

    SUGGESTED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES:

    Bell Pepper
