Weight management seminar Dec. 11

We are smack in the middle of the biggest eating season of the year, excluding perhaps Valentine's Day and Easter which are soon to come. If you are in a panic about a few pounds gained here and there, now is the time (yes, even before Christmas and New Year's) to make a plan to keep your weight under control.

Carol Simontacchi of the Island Nutrition Center will facilitate a no-charge seminar and discussion group called "Menu Planning For Healthy Weight Management." The event will be held at the Island Nutrition Center, 1633 Periwinkle Way, on Dec. 11 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Discussion topics include a brief overview of how the body manages its calorie resources, how diet affects weight management and how to construct a weighthealthy menu program.

Space is limited. Call 472-4499 for reservations.

Ms. Simontacchi is hosting a series of health seminars through the winter. Upcoming topics include cardiovascular health, chronic pain and inflammation, fatigue, and bone health. Ms. Simontacchi is a certified lifestyle educator with FirstLine Therapy.
