Nutrition for fat loss

When it comes to fat loss, nutrition measures and training measures take on an equally important function. In this module you get to know the process of fat loss as well as the conditions that have to be met for the body to break down fat efficiently. Different training and nutrition measures are covered – and so is the use of supplements that are well researched scientifically.

What you learn

• The aspects of fat loss in two detailed chapters
• Which conditions have to be met for the body to break down fat mass efficiently
• How nutrition measures and training measures work together in fat loss
• Supplements at a glance: Sinetrol
• Supplements at a glance: L-carnitine
• Supplements at a glance: green tea extracts
• Placing claims about fat loss products in context instead of adopting advertising promises

Who the workshop suits

The workshop suits fitness and personal trainers, group fitness instructors and advisers whose clients come with the goal of losing weight. It delivers the professional basis for telling effective measures apart from marketing – particularly on the topic of supplements, where an unusual number of promises circulate in the gym. As one module of the Sports Nutrition Coach training programme it can also be taken on its own.

How the workshop runs

You complete the workshop online at your own learning pace. After registration you receive the login details for the learning platform, which guides you through the content step by step. There are no fixed dates and no set course start.

• Self-study with the course script Fat Loss – for the knowledge test its content alone is relevant
• The script also in audio format, including chapter summaries
• Learning videos and flashcards on fat loss
• Knowledge test directly on the learning platform, to be taken at any time, passed with at least 80 per cent correct answers

For the knowledge test the content of the script alone is relevant. Once you have passed the knowledge test, the course confirmation reaches you by e-mail within 14 days. The content on the learning platform stays available to you afterwards as well.

Where things go from here

Fat loss can only be understood if the energy balance adds up – a good fit for that is the Energy Balance workshop, which covers energy supply and energy requirement. The opposite direction is examined by the Nutrition for Muscle Building workshop. Both are modules of the Sports Nutrition Coach training programme. The complete list of individual courses is available under Nutrition Workshops.
