Are you ready to empower your clients to achieve sustainable weight management goals? The PFS WEIGHT MANAGEMENT® course is designed to provide you with in-depth knowledge and practical tools for helping clients make smarter, healthier choices around their diet and lifestyle.
In this course, you’ll learn the science behind energy requirements and how to manipulate calories to support various weight goals. We’ll walk you through the effective use of calorie tracking and the importance of understanding how food impacts weight, metabolism, and overall health.
One of the highlights of this course is our focus on food labels—an essential skill for any trainer or nutritionist. You’ll learn how to read labels accurately, what to look for when making food choices, and how to guide clients in making more informed, health-conscious decisions.
Additionally, we’ll take a sensitive yet important look at eating disorders like binge eating, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and orthorexia. Understanding these disorders is crucial in helping clients maintain a balanced, healthy relationship with food and exercise. We’ll also explore their effects on the body and how to support clients who may be struggling with these conditions.
Throughout the course, we will evaluate the most common diets—from keto to intermittent fasting and everything in between. You’ll gain insights into their effectiveness, limitations, and how to adapt these approaches for different clients based on their needs and health status. You'll also discover what these diets all have in common when it comes to weight management, helping you make more strategic recommendations for your clients.
