This program was created by Colorado’s Team Nutrition to help educate educators about healthy lifestyle choices for their own lives so they can lead their students by example. Calorie control, portion control, and physical activity are all examined as well as a deeper look into whole grains and low fat dairy products. Many helpful hints for making simple lifestyle changes are given as well as activities to help encourage creativity and learning about healthy living.

  *Reviewer's note: This script lists couscous, posole, and popcorn as whole grains. Couscous can be purchased as a whole grain but must be labeled as such. Posole is actually a soup, despite the common misconception that it is a hominy (also not a whole grain). And while popcorn does contain fiber, it is not a whole grain.
