Learn the difference between urges and cravings to eat versus true hunger in this three-week series. Participants will learn how to use the hunger scale to prevent overeating. Participants will also learn how to manage food cravings to reach health or weight loss goals; how to have a future-focus; and how to enjoy treats and special foods while still making progress toward goals. Session 1 will focus on the two main challenges of overeating; Session 2 addresses the hunger scale and managing urges. Session 3 features transforming “learning moments.” Registration includes replay access. Attend one session or sign up for all to get the greatest benefit. Students must have an audio- and video-enabled laptop, desktop, or tablet with reliable internet to participate in class. We do not recommend using a smartphone.
