Appetite Awareness Training for Weight Concerns
Evening at Emory - Health and Natural Sciences
Are you tired of struggling with your weight and want to try a different approach? Appetite Awareness Training teaches you a new way to think about eating and weight. AAT is designed for people who want to lose weight, for people who have lost weight but could not keep it off, and for people who are in the normal weight range but feel like it takes way too much effort to maintain that weight. You can also use AAT to teach your children a healthy way to eat. Appetite awareness training is not a diet; it is a different way to make decisions about when to eat and when to stop eating. You don't have to follow a diet plan at all, but the approach is compatible with reasonably balanced diet plans so you can use a "diet" (a specific food plan) if you want to do so. AAT teaches you to "Eat with your stomach, not with your head." Using stomach cues helps protect you from the tempting, tasty food that is so easily available. Participants will learn to understand the biology of appetite and weight regulation so they can work with their body instead of fighting with it. Participants are encouraged to bring dinner each week to practice mindful eating with the class. The class will also involve active participation through appetite self-monitoring done outside of class. Textbook is not included.
