About Seller

Students will be surprised as they complete this informative activity and they learn just how unhealthy many diets are. The students in my Aerobic class really liked this lesson!

THIS LESSON IS INCLUDED IN THE BEST HEALTH CURRICULUM: A COMPLETE SEMESTER OF HEALTH LESSON PLANS AND IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE 3-WEEK NUTRITION UNIT. (See links below)

In this 2-day lesson, students learn how to recognize the common traits of fad diets (plans that: promise quick weight loss, offer an easy plan, use famous testimonials, are full of scientific jargon, and often taut their use as critical.)

Each student will research an assigned or selected diet from a list of over 50 different diets. 16 different diets are included for you to print and use.

Next they will answer 10 questions on a worksheet about how healthy their diet is and they will score their diet from 0-10 and give it a grade: A through F.

Diet Types listed for students to research include:

Low Carbohydrate Diets: Such as Atkins, Sugar Busters, The Zone
Moderate Calorie Restriction Diets: Such as Weight Watchers, Dieting For Dummies
Very Low Calorie Diets (Under a Dr.'s Supervision): Such as Optifast
Low Fat Diets: Such as The Rice Diet, Fit or Fat
Novelty Diets: Such as The Beverly Hills Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet

A follow-up discussion will help students understand why medically and nutritionally some diets are not healthy, and why some diets are healthy and beneficial for you. Students will come away with the ability to judge a weight loss plan and be able to answer with conviction the question, Is this diet healthy?

Finally, students will fill out a "Eating Healthy for Life Survey" and a "Eating Healthy for Life Goal Sheet."

This product includes:

-"Is This Diet Healthy?" PowerPoint - 77 slides

-Obestiy in the United States PowerPoint - 27 slides

-Portion Distortion PowerPoint - 14 slides

-35 pages of easy step-by-step teacher directions

-"Is This Diet Healthy" Worksheet

I am not able to open any files from this download. The folder that downloads is empty? Do you think you could email me an attachment of the files?

Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)

I am so sorry you're having trouble downloading. Unfortunately, you'll need to email TeachersPayTeachers and have them help you on their end. I don't have anything to do with the downloading process and they're really helpful and will straighten it out for you. It's too many docs and too big to email. (I did just try to download it myself and it was slow, but it worked...maybe it's there now???) Sorry! let me know if you get it taken care of.

I unzipped the file and it is blank and in a mac format. I had our tech person at school try it also and he had the same problem. Please resend it to me.

Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)

I can't resend-TPT does the downloading, not the sellers so can you contact them? They are usually really quick at getting back to you. I downloaded it myself and everything on my end looks correct. Thanks.

I have purchased this but the download is in a mac format, I have a PC. Can you please email it to me in a format I can open?

March 7, 2012

Mrs. S. (TpT Seller)

Everything is in Word and PDF, so it should work on a PC. If it won't open at all, it is zipped since it's many files zipped into one folder, so you need an unzip program. For a PC you can download WinZip for free from:

I hope that solves the problem. Mrs. S.
