Carb Counting in Restaurants Presentation Kit
From Joanne Lichten PhD, RD
Everything you need to present your own Carb Counting presentation to clients, classes, companies and conferences. This includes PowerPoint presentation for 60-90 minute program, script, and copy-ready handout. Covers how to estimate portion sizes and assess carb counts for commonly served foods at all types of restaurants. The program offers insightful questions to ask participants throughout the program as well as group exercises at the end of the program so participants can practice their skills.
"This presentation kit is ready to go! Although the focus is carb counting which is essential for individuals with diabetes, the informative presentation can benefit everyone dining out in restaurants."
