Replacing a bad habit with a good habit takes time and patience. It requires several steps, from setting goals to asking for support when you need it. One of the important steps is figuring out what’s stopping you from making a healthy change in your diet.

In this course you will learn about the most common barriers people come across when switching to a healthy eating lifestyle. You will learn how to identify the real problems from the excuses and how you can overcome these problems once and for all. You will also learn how to build new habits and discover how to create a back-up plan to help you to succeed into the future.

What you will learn

  • Learn to identify barriers to healthy eating ahead of time.

  • Understand your own barriers to healthy eating.

  • Develop skills to overcome the barriers to healthy eating through SMART goals.

  • Understand roles in supporting healthy eating patterns.
