  • The food groups, including hands-on measuring of appropriate portions, taste-testing and cooking tips
  • Grocery shopping, and eating out
  • Exercise goals and realistic expectations
  • Tools for monitoring long-term success        
The $40 registration fee, due by Feb. 14, includes a light breakfast and tastings.
