Purpose: The target of my invention was to regulate my diet and increase my exercise. The behavior I was trying to change is to stop being inactive and instead being more active and eating healthier. The outcome I was expecting from this intervention is to decrease in weight and increase in energy and become more active. For diet, the target of my invention was to decrease the amount of carbohydrates (e.g. bread, pasta, rice) I consume and increase my consumption of healthy fat and protein such as fish, meat, eggs, peanuts etc. I also wanted to increase the amount of vegetables I consumed such as salad, broccoli, tomatoes, etc. For exercise, the target of my interventions was to increase the amount of exercise I do per day (with the exception of Sundays) with at least 20 minutes of walking. My main goal overall is to increase my energy, lose weight, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The benefits this will make to my lifestyle is it will help me have more willpower and reduce the chances of me obtaining severe illness in the future. Intervention: After doing some research online on different diet plans, I decided to do a low carb high fat (LCHF) diet plan. I made a list of options on what to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks according (that was on the LCHF) to the diet plan on my phone which was as followed: Breakfast: boiled egg, egg whites, or strawberry smoothie. Lunch: Salad with tuna or grilled chicken (prepared the night before) Dinner: Boiled broccoli,

My goal for this project was to strictly reduce the number of soft drinks I was in-taking. I chose this as my goal because I considered myself to drink too many sodas, even my family members pointed it out. My target behavior was to reduce the consumption of soft drinks each week. I was going to change my diet and I needed the support of my friends and family to successfully reach my goal. I told my friends and family about the upcoming project and asked for their help. My friends and family were very supportive of me during the period of this project. Every time we went out to eat they always reminded me that I set a goal to stop drinking soft drinks. Even if I was just at home and opened the fridge, my siblings or parents would jump right on me about drinking sodas. The biggest suggestion they gave me was that every time I craved soda, to choose an alternative. Through my journey in accomplishing this goal, I expected many changes. The way I felt about my body changed, I experienced less gas, burping, and lost weight.
In this assignment, I will be making realistic recommendations for decreasing negative impacts on the health of one individual.

In everyday life many people develop habits, but it is never too late to attempt to change that bad habit to live a healthier life. For this behavioral change project, I was asked to choose a health behavior that I would like to change for the better. So, I decided that I wanted to increase the amount of water I was consuming each day. The standard recommendation on how much water an individual should consume is about 64 ounces daily. However how much a person should drink is more individualized then one might assume. Therefore, for this particular project my goal was to at least consume 64 ounces of water daily as a baseline starting point. I also had to consider days when I worked out. So, I decided that I would attempt to increase that amount
I believe that the objective was not met due to the fact that we did not present specific information of long term and short term effects within the PowerPoint to give to the participants, instead we just gave them information on the general effects of smoking. The knowledge present was not shared successfully enough for the participants to memorize the information given. If I was to repeat this health promotion again I would not change the objective itself but I would ensure that the PowerPoint specified the information exactly, such as having a slide dedicated to long term effects and short term effects separately. This would ensure that this objective was met

My analysis of the NutritionCalc Plus is that I’m actually happy with the breakdown. I’m close to where I want to be with my goals of limiting my carbs, though I think I could do better. I don’t necessarily believe MyPlate.com is how I should manage my food intake. In generally, the only fruits I really like are more berries: strawberry and blueberries, oranges to an extent, but other than that, don’t care much for fruit. Veggies, I prefer raw.

I was raised in an Italian family so macaroni and pizza are my two worst enemies. I figured that if I used this project to get rid of my bad eating habits, I would have an easier time eating healthy after this class ends. Before starting the project I realized that there will be challenges, but this project was not meant to be simple. If behavior change was simple, then anyone would be able to change behavior whenever they wanted to.
