Program offers nutritional class, realistic goals The 2006 edition of Lose to Win, the healthy lifestyle and weight loss program sponsored by the MUSC Dietetic Interns, is proving to be a rewarding and educational experience.   Nearly 100 people have chosen to participate and make efforts toward building healthy habits into their busy days. Through informative classes and resources made available during the Lose to Win program, participants are experiencing success.   Classes have focused on learning how to set realistic and attainable goals, how to use the new MyPyramid.gov Web site, the importance of exercise, portion control and good food habits for successful weight management and how to make healthy substitutions when cooking.   For the first time, class handouts and presentations are available for access on the nutrition services Web site at http://www.nutrition.musc.edu.   At the conclusion of the program, drawings will determine winners from two categories: those having lost at least 6 pounds and those having attended all six classes. Winners will be announced March 2.     Friday, Feb. 10, 2006 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
