from cheese and yogurt, which contain less lactose Take lactase (the enzyme needed to digest lactose) in
liquid or tablet form when they eat dairy products
CELIAC DISEASE

My Healthy Eating & Physical Activity Goals
You will now work on creating a goal for eating healthy and exercising
This goal sheet will be kept in your personal folders
In 3 weeks you will look back on your goals to see what you have accomplished (March 15th) Were you successful or unsuccessful?
Let’s look at how to write an achievable goal…
Writing a Goal
A well-written goal should have these characteristics:
Doable Something you can realistically accomplish in the next
3 weeks.Specific
It gives clear details of what you want to do.Measurable
It allows you to determine or measure if you have accomplished your goal at the end of 3 weeks.
What’s Wrong with These Goals?
Poorly Written: I want to exercise more.Well-written: I will jog 3 days each week for at least 20
minutes each time.
Poorly Written: I will eat less junk food.Well-written: I will only eat 1 serving of fats, oils, or sweets
each day.
Poorly Written: I will eat more fruit and lift weights more often.
Well-written: (Choose one) I will eat 3 servings of fruit each day. OR I will lift weights for 30 minutes 3 times each week.
