3. "REGISTERED DIETITIAN DAY IS MARCH 14, 2012"THANK A NUTRITIONAL EXPERT The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly known as the American Dietetic Association) proudly announces the fifth annual Registered Dietitian Day. As the nation's food and nutrition experts, registered dietitians are committed to improving the health of their patients and community. Registered Dietitian Day commemorates the dedication of RDs as advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world. The WIC and Nutrition Administration would like to recognize and thank all the Registered and Licensed Dietitians and Registered Dietetic Technicians. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication! From the WIC and Nutrition Administration.
4. March Wellness Tips 2012 March Wellness Tip #1 – 3/5/12 March is National Nutrition Month. We encourage you to “Get Your Plate in Shape” by making simple changes to your daily eating habit that will benefit you for a lifetime. Check out the following link for simple tips from Registered Dietitians on how to “Get Your Plate in Shape” this National Nutrition Month:
5. March Wellness Tip #2 - 3/8/12 Be mindful of your daily caloric needs. Using a smaller plate helps to avoid oversized portions. Watch your liquid calories too. (Could be an underlying message—hmm?) Log in to the USDA's Super Tracker which helps plan, analyze and track your diet and physical activity. Savor your food more and you may find that you will eat less!
6. March Wellness Tip #3 – 3/19/12 “Color Your Plate with Salad” is a great way to increase your veggie intake.  March is National Nutrition Month and a great time to try new veggies.       Arugula?  Radicchio?  Bok Choy?  Artichoke Hearts? Be adventurous and try a new vegetable this week while you work on “Getting Your Plate in Shape!” For more ideas on healthy and colorful salad options, click on the link for more information: Color Your Plate with Salad.
7. March Wellness Tip #4 – 3/26/12 Americans love to snack. Plan for “smart snacks” that give you a boost of energy and provide a good supply of vitamins and minerals… And are tasty too!  As National Nutrition Month comes to a close, remember to keep healthy snacks in mind.  For more information on “smart snacks” click on the following:    Smart Snacking for Adults and Teens

Presentation went well. Staff were interested and asked questions.
9. Lunch and Learn held in the 2nd floor conference room on March 15 at noon Target audience: West Palm Beach Center staff Total number of attendees: 2 Media coverage: None Sponsors and estimated cost: None Brief description of the event – include photos, promo materials, and any other supporting documents: Showed DVD “Eat Less! The Upside of Downsizing” and discussion. Lessons learned from the event - would you do it again, and if so what would you do differently? Very few attended the lunch & learn. At the staff meeting presentation on March 1, staff were asked if they wanted a lunch & learn and staff responded that they were interested and that the best time was the 3rd Thursday at noon (because of no afternoon clinic). But--that day is often used for luncheons (staff leaving the center, staff retiring, etc). The day of the lunch & learn, there was a going away party/lunch for a staff member—many staff attended the luncheon. Emails had been sent out and notices posted for the lunch & learn before I found out about the goodbye luncheon. The 3rd Thursday is probably not a good time to have a lunch and learn. On other days, staff are working and lunches are staggered.

Each participant received a bag of groceries which included fresh fruits and vegetables, brown rice, whole grain bread, beans and Greek yogurt. Participants learned how to purchase healthy non processed foods on a budget. Lessons learned from the event; Yes, I would like to facilitate another supermarket tour. I would recruit more clients to participate since only 4 out of 6 invited clients participated in the tour. Since 2 clients missed the bus to arrive on time, I would allot more time for clients to arrive at the Delray Square Publix. Prior to the tour, review store directions including bus times with clients. I recommend providing the tour in the early morning when the store is less populated.

29. Title of the event: Shopping Matters Tour of the Publix in Riviera Beach Target audience: Overweight and obese clients in the “On the Weigh to a Better You” weight loss support group from the IDC clinic at the West Palm Beach health Center.  Total number of attendees: 8  Media coverage: N/A  Sponsors and estimated cost: Shopping Matters. Estimated cost - $200  Brief description of the event – include photos, promo materials, and any other supporting documents:  The nutritionist Marie Allsopp and therapist Michael Amberg hosted a Shopping Matters Tour at the Publix Supermarket in Riviera Beach on Thursday, March 22, 2012, with the “On the Weigh to a Better You” weight loss support group. Eight clients attended this tour and they provided positive feedback. The $10 Challenge which took place at the conclusion of the tour was a success as all the clients who took part in it were able to purchase items which were consisted mainly of fresh fruits and vegetables on sale. The tour took approximately two hours and was an excellent way for the clients to put into practice the lessons learned from the group. Another factor in making the tour a success was that the supermarket was fairly dead at that time so we ended up being the life of Publix at that time.  Lessons learned from the event - would you do it again, and if so what would you do differently? The primary lesson learned was that the large group of eight clients should have been split up into two to facilitate better learning and improved group interaction. This was a great event as the clients really enjoyed meeting outside of the clinic setting. Therefore this event is definitely worth repeating in the future.  For more information about this event, please contact:  Marie Allsopp, MS, MPH, RD, LDN Senior Public Health Nutritionist West Palm Beach Health Center 1150 45th Street IDC, P-114 West Palm Beach, FL 33407 Tel: (561) 514-5433 Email: marie_allsopp@doh.state.fl.us
