National Nutrition Month 2017

National Nutrition Month 2017 kicks off on March 1st with the theme “Put Your Best Fork Forward”. 

March is National Nutrition Month. A month that Registered Dietitian’s dedicate towards helping spread nutrition and health knowledge.

This year’s theme is “Put Your Best Fork Forward”. A guide to remind us that each bite counts and that making small shifts in our food choices can set us up for a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Changing your eating habits can be very daunting and overwhelming. Especially if you think of it in the terms of “dieting”. My food philosophy is that eating healthy should be a lifestyle and that making small changes over time can really bring out your best self. Nothing is forbidden and eating should be fun, social, delicious and overall healthy at the same time.

I also live in the real world and know that eating healthy can be hard.

This entire month, I’ll be focusing on a different topic each week.

National Nutrition Month Weekly Topics on The Domestic Dietitian
