How COVID-19 Has Changed Eating Habits

Welcome to the latest episode of the IDEA Listen & Learn CEC Podcast—the fitness industry’s first audible CEC program. In order to claim your CEC you will need to pass a short quiz which is available for purchase in the IDEA store. The quiz comes with the written version of the CEC articles on this podcast, so you also can read them and refer back to the research presented. This episode contains information that has been approved for 1 CEC hour by more than 25 approval agencies including ACE, NASM, AFAA, ACSM and NFPT.

If we could use one word to sum up our approach to eating habits once the pandemic was underway, it might be “improvisation.”

Though uncertainty remains, we can now begin to reclaim greater control of our nutrition, and the key to doing so is not improvisation but mindfulness and careful planning. Please enjoy this examination of how eating habits have changed, what we can expect moving forward, and how we can support our clients and ourselves in health.
