Q

How clients can lose fat and preserve or gain some muscle simultaneously

A

To do so simply requires adequate protein intake, resistance training, and a moderate calorie deficit. But it is important to note, the rate of muscle gain while in a negative energy balance will be slower than if the client was in a calorie surplus.

A

Individualizing the approach and translating the calorie and macronutrient numbers into foods and habits

A

Evaluate

65
Q

The last step in the process of programming

A

Monitor and evaluate

66
Q

Monitoring involves:

A

Collecting data from the Nutrition Coach as well as the client
-The focus should be on the process; identify the areas of the process that are working and which ones are not.

67
Q

There are some aspects of nutrition behaviors to be monitored that are more difficult to measure objectively and require a discussion with clients.

A

Food beliefs, moods, feelings, and quality of life. Thus, the Nutrition Coach should take a holistic view of monitoring nutrition habits with a client to better understand the factors that can either support or get in the way of being consistent.

68
Q

Evaluation is:

A

a combination of assessing the process and specific outcomes

69
Q

Monitoring and evaluating a client can be broken down into the following steps:

A
  1. Conduct a baseline readiness assessment.
  2. Develop a set of data to monitor and outcomes to evaluate.
  3. Set guidelines for collecting data and monitoring.
  4. Set intervals for check-ins and evaluations.
  5. Gather data and analyze results.
  6. Evaluate the results with the client.
  7. Work together to form a plan for the next iteration.
70
Q

All progress should be measured relative to an individual’s starting point. Can define a client’s starting point and provide valuable information regarding next steps.

A

Conduct a Baseline Readiness Assessment

71
Q

Motivational interviewing can also help the Nutrition Coach understand

A

A client’s food beliefs, identify their current level of readiness and motivation to change, and identify the barriers that might get in the way of adhering to the nutrition plan.

72
Q

After completing a baseline assessment, the next step is to identify the scope for the:

A

First round of monitoring and evaluation
- Create a simple list of goals and behaviors to track. The scope should be appropriate for the client’s starting point.

73
Q

Soft data

A

Can be based on food habits such as how quickly one eats or how full they feel when they stop eating.

74
Q

Example Habit-Based Goals

A

Eat more slowly – put the fork down in between bites. Focus on the food: its taste, texture, and smells.

Eat until you’re approximately 80% full. Once you are about 80% full, stop your meal and allow your body time to adjust to feeling satiated.

Drink at least 8 cups of water per day and aim to stay hydrated throughout the whole day.

Set a new sleeping schedule. Aim for 8 hours each night.

Substitute saturated or trans fats (whole cream, butter, or lard) for unsaturated fats (avocado or olive oil).

Eat at least one serving of lean protein with each meal (e.g., seafood, white-meat poultry, eggs, lean beef, or soy).

Fill half your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables each meal.

Drink primarily calorie-free drinks (e.g., water, black coffee, unflavored iced tea, etc.). Minimize calorie-dense drinks (e.g., soda, juice, or energy drinks).

Take a 5-minute break; avoid sitting for more than 3 hours at a time.

Aim for 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week such as walking or brisk jogging.

Practice destressing techniques (e.g., meditate, unplug from technology for an hour, go for a walk, listen to music, or focus on a fun hobby).

Celebrate your wins and revisit any of these habits you are still having trouble maintaining.

Anticipate high-risk situations, identify triggers, and develop coping/problem-solving strategies for lapses.

Develop a social support network.

Replace negative self-talk (especially during weight-loss plateaus) with constructive and positive outlets (e.g., write down and acknowledge your own accomplishments).

75
Q

Once the general scope is set, the client and the Nutrition Coach should work together to determine what data will be monitored and what outcomes will be evaluated

A

This step is important as it is critical that the client and the Nutrition Coach are aligned with the responsibilities of both parties. This serves as the foundation for the next step: setting guidelines for collecting data and monitoring

76
Q

These guidelines include what data is to be recorded, how often it is to be recorded, which party is responsible for collecting what, and how it is to be recorded

A

Set Guidelines for Collecting Data and Monitoring

77
Q

Can serve as positive reinforcement for the guidelines and expectations set and can be referred to in later sessions when reviewing client progress.

A

. A behavioral contract that is created and signed by both the Nutrition Coach and client

78
Q

Important for keeping continuity and holding the client and the nutrition coach accountable for maintaining a monitoring and evaluation process.

A

Set Intervals for Check-Ins and Evaluations

79
Q

Important for keeping continuity and holding the client and the nutrition coach accountable for maintaining a monitoring and evaluation process

A

Set Intervals for Check-Ins and Evaluations

80
Q

The length of these intervals should be determined:

A

Through a conversation between the client and the Nutrition Coach based on how much support is needed to stay on track

81
Q

Measures understanding by asking clients to explain in their own words what they need to know or do regarding their nutrition, exercise, or health plan.

A

Teach-Back Method

82
Q

Gather, Organize, and Analyze Data

A

At each interval, the Nutrition Coach should gather all the available data that is being monitored, organize that data, and analyze it. The data analysis should be simple and focus on the most important aspects such as average daily and weekly calorie intake, average daily and weekly calorie surpluses and deficits, and adherence (or lack thereof) to habit-based goals.

83
Q

Nutrition Coach should also take the analyzed data and package it together in a format that the client can easily understand

A

Form of pictures, graphs, charts, or written reviews

84
Q

Conveying data to a client is a critical step in the _________________ process

A

Communication

85
Q

Conveying data to a client is a critical step in the communication process

A

Keep numbers simple. Round to the nearest whole number (e.g., round 156.7 grams to 157 grams or even 160 grams).
Use familiar metrics (e.g., metric versus imperial).
Use verbal qualifiers (e.g., small or great).
Place numbers in context so they are relevant, relatable, and understandable.
Order matters: the first and last numbers presented are most likely to be remembered.

86
Q

Evaluate the Results With the Client

A

An excellent opportunity to go over key findings, ask questions to understand how the findings relate to the client’s overall goals, receive questions from the client, highlight areas of success as well as areas that can be improved, assess the feasibility of the current plan, and identify changes that can be made in the next iteration.

A

Plan for the next iteration in the monitoring and evaluation process. At this point, the client and the Nutrition Coach should repeat this process beginning at Step 1; perform another assessment (it may be abbreviated this time) and then the process begins again.
