What will you learn?

  1. Introduction – the foundations of sustainable weight management, the limitations of BMI and why short-term weight changes do not always reflect changes in body fat.
  2. Calorie balance – basal metabolic rate, total daily energy expenditure and calorie balance, with practice calculating example calorie deficits.
  3. Food choices – reading food labels, comparing serving sizes and spotting overlooked sources of energy; awareness of eating disorders and when specialist support is needed.
  4. Physical activity – how structured exercise and everyday movement contribute to weight management, resistance training and the limits of exercise calorie estimates.
  5. Appetite and satiety – hunger and fullness, the role of protein and fibre, and how emotions and habits influence eating behaviour.
  6. Specific diets – common dietary approaches, their benefits and limitations, and why long-term adherence matters.
  7. Stress and sleep – the link between stress, sleep and food choices, with practical habits that support a consistent routine.

Each lesson includes two questions for personal reflection and revision to help you prepare for the final online exam. You do not need to submit your answers.
