- What is...
The 5th Food Group?The 5th
Food Group meets at 9:00 AM on the first Saturday of every month in the World
of Fitness private studio room (13673-B Coral Way). The 5th Food Group is open
to anyone interested in improving their relationship with food. We open with a
brief discussion, the topic of the month, geared toward identifying obstacles
to healthy food relationships. We then explore motivators and develop
strategies to overcome these obstacles. The best way
to understand The 5th Food Group is to experience it!

each other without judgment or our own individual agendas. We meet here to
develop and reinforce our foundation, commitment, motivation, and discipline
for improving and maintaining wellness; and we encourage each other to hold
realistic expectations and create achievable goals. We accomplish this by
sharing our experiences in, strategies for, and optimism about improving our
relationship with food.
