Psychodietetics - online training

The World Health Organization reports that currently over 400 million adults suffer from obesity, and approximately 1.6 billion are overweight.

Are you interested in issues related to dietetics?
Are you interested in following new trends in nutrition and testing diets? Do you want to know how our mental attitude affects the effectiveness of a diet, and why so many diets fail?

Gdansk Medical Academy of Applied Sciences cordially invites you to an online training course in the field of PSYCHODIETETICS.

This training is designed to prepare clients who are considering changing their eating habits for health reasons, weight loss, or improved well-being, or to help them make changes to their own eating habits. Regardless of the reasons, the change process may require specialist assistance, not only in terms of diet but also psychological support, appropriate techniques and exercises, identifying sources of declining motivation, and guiding the client safely and consistently through the entire process.

During the training, the participant will learn, among others:

– psychological mechanisms of the motivation process,
– issues of emotions and emotional eating,
– eating disorder problems,
– techniques supporting the change process.

We recommend the course to people who professionally work with clients struggling with weight loss, such as trainers, psychologists, educators, and dietitians, as well as to anyone interested in the psychology of nutrition and who would like to deepen their knowledge for their own needs.
