Kiwi PE Teacher to Embark on an Anti-Diet Program That Addresses His Poor Lifestyle

A physical education teacher in New Zealand revealed that he will be going on a 40-week nutrition and exercise regime whose main aim is not to lose weight through dieting but to instead address the underlying causes behind his poor lifestyle.

According to physical education lecturer Jeremy Hapeta, Palmerston North Boys' High School teacher Justin Doolan's anti-diet approach is aiming to improve physiological health measures, like blood pressure and fitness, and psychological aspects rather than simply to lose weight, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Diet and Nutrition for Healthy Weight Loss
Correct diet and a planned exercise regime is the mantra of healthy and sustainable weight loss.

45-year-old Doolan spent the first half of his life as an athlete, which included nine years as a professional rugby player in Japan, but coming home for teachers' college in 1999 resulted in his abs turning to flab.

And before he knew an extra 50kg crept on to his body.

The "anti-diet" programme developed by physical education lecturer Jeremy Hapeta, management lecturer Andrew Dickson, human nutrition lecturer Jasmine Thomson and human development lecturer Cat Pause, addresses nutrition, exercise, attitudes about health and acceptance of fatness.

The Lesser Known Fruits with High Nutrition Value
Some fruits that are less known to the common man today have hundred times more vitamin C, carotenoids, and antioxidants as compared with those in the well known fruits. These underutilized fruits are highly inexpensive too.

Thomson said that Doolan would be encouraged to change his relationship with exercise and food, including retraining himself to realise when he was hungry or full. (ANI)
