Brattleboro Memorial Hospital’s Community Health Team will present a free 4-part workshop series focused on the role of mindful eating for those seeking to lose weight.
Presented by Peg Canal MS, RD, CDE Nutritionist/ Registered Dietitian/Certified Diabetes Educator, Carrie Quimby MS, RD Nutritionist/ Registered Dietitian and Nancy Schaefer, BS Health Coach, the workshop series will help participants identify triggers that contribute to unhealthy eating and learn to develop mindful eating practices.
“Many people have a difficult time changing their eating habits even though they know they are not good for them,” says nutritionist and dietician Peg Canal, one of the series’ presenters. “Mindful eating can be an effective strategy for eating less, enjoying food more and losing weight.”
All series events will be held in BMH’s Brew Barry Conference Room #1 on the following dates:
Tuesday, January 19 • 6:00 – 7:00 PM (Part I)
Tuesday, January 26 • 6:00 – 7:00 PM (Part II)
Tuesday, February 2 • 6:00 – 7:00 PM (Part III)
Tuesday, February 9 • 6:00 – 7:00 PM (Part IV)
Participants will also gain knowledge on food preparation for optimal nutrition and have the opportunity to prepare and taste delicious healthy food. The workshop is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is strongly suggested. Those with questions or wishing to register should call 802-257-8877.
