1) Most importantly, this training focuses on improving the quality of life and health of our consumers. Practicing these methods of shopping
and cooking can reduce their risk for a huge number of diseases and medical complications. At the same time, they can be involved in their own health and contribute to their own sense of wellbeing.

)If we are encouraging them to eat better, it helps staff to eat better. If we keep mainly healthy things in our environment, we as staff will also not be tempted to make unhealthy choices 5) We can feel good about our job because it makes a huge difference to our consumer’s lives. Slide4
SHOPPING TIPS!
Stick with whole foods and the least processed.Tips on how to identify whole foods:
1) foods that are on the FDA’s food guide pyramid2) check the ingredients—fewer ingredients generally means it is less processed. 3) Shop the perimeter for foods such as produce, meats, dairy, bread/grains¾ of your cart should include “perimeter foods”Slide5
Healthier options
Lean meats like pork, chicken, turkey, lowfat ground beef
Lowfat dairy, 1% or 2% milk (NOT whole milk)Get olive oil instead of vegetable oilWhole wheat bread and pastaBrown rice, couscous, or quinoa instead of white riceTry substituting soda and sugary juices for club soda and lemonFor things not in the perimeter opt for low sugar, low fat, high fiber and portioned containers or bags.

Include the Consumers!
Take a consumer or 2 grocery shopping with you and try to teach them the skill.
Not only is it a great learning experience, but they enjoy the interactionIt gives the consumers a chance to learn something that they may not have had a chance to do before Slide15
Cooking!
Include the consumers!
Ways to have consumers help: 1) Washing produce or meat 2) Opening cans 3) Cutting/peeling food 4) Adding spices 5) Stirring
6) Preparing cooking materials
7) Following a recipe
8) Measuring
9) Set the table
10) Have them help portion bulk items for storageSlide16
Community Dinners
Cooking in bulk for multiple consumers. We always try to have one or more consumers help in the whole cooking process.
The way that this generally looks: -One consumer chooses to host the dinner at their apartment -That consumer chooses how many people and
who
they would like to
invite
over to eat.
-
The hosting consumer helps prepare
the
meal, as
well
as any guests that
would
like to help.
-For
those not invited, we offer to bring
them
a
plate
of the foodSlide17
These community meals accomplish several things at once:
1)Consumers interact with staff during cooking
process 2)Consumers interact with one another at dinner table 3)We as staff have piece of mind that everyone who chose to eat that meal is eating a well-balanced, nutritious meal.

Eating Out
Have them request a to-go container while they are ordering their meal. Immediately package half the meal to eat at a later time. Choose places that offer healthier options: Sweet Tomatoes,
Souper Salad, Mad Greens, Sub Shops, Boston Market, etc. Set a good example!Slide25
Success Story
In the last 3 years this consumer has increased activities such as softball, swimming, walking, bowling, bocce ball, and DDRC triathlons.
She has changed her eating habits drastically. She loves to snack on carrots, apples, grapes, oranges, etc. She helps cook community meals and enjoys healthy dinners regularly. Staff assisted her with these changes by creating a healthier environment and promoting a lot of physical activity. Slide26

Help our folks become competent eaters!
Create an environment that promotes healthRemind them to eat mindfully—eat when hungry, stop when full.
Food should be seen as neither a punishment nor a reward. It is for nourishment. That’s it. Help consumers try to understand that. Be creative, be positive, be willing to try new things!
