A Simple Way to Make Smart Food Choices
GO! Foods
Eat Anytime and Most Often!
Lowest in Fat
Lowest in added Sugar
Lowest in Calories
SLOW! Foods
• Eat Sometimes and Less Often!• Higher in Fat• Higher in added Sugar• Higher in Calories• More processed than GO! Foods
WHOA! Foods
• Eat once in a while and Least Often!• Very High in Fat• Very High in added Sugar• Very High in Calories• The most processed foods
• Categorizing foods in to GO SLOW WHOA helps us maintain healthy eating habits.
• We need food to give us energy. Similar to how a car needs gas to run.
• BUT… if we eat too MUCH food (energy) it is then stored in our body as fat.
• So… How do we balance it all out??? How do we get rid of extra energy???

Everyone stand up by their desk
For every picture of food you see, you must do the following:
• GO! = 5 squats• SLOW! = 10 squats• WHOA! = 15 squats
GO? SLOW? or WHOA?
GO! = 5 squats
GO? SLOW? or WHOA?
WHOA! = 15 squats
GO? SLOW? or WHOA?
SLOW! = 10 squats
GO? SLOW? or WHOA?
GO! = 5 squats
GO? SLOW? or WHOA?
WHOA! = 15 squats
GO? SLOW? or WHOA?
