Dietitian Julie Feldman Gives National Nutrition Month a Grocery Makeover
March 1, 2013, Ann Arbor
March is National Nutrition Month, an annual education campaign
sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign is
intended to increase awareness of the importance of making healthy food
choices and establishing positive eating and physical activity habits.
Registered dietitian Julie Feldman and Spry Publishing today announced
the upcoming release of Grocery Makeover: Small Changes for Big Results,
a revolutionary diet and nutrition book that leads readers on an
aisle-by-aisle journey to better health (Publication Date: April 2,
2013). In the spirit of National Nutrition Month, Grocery Makeover
focuses on understanding basic nutritional concepts, learning how to
make smarter decisions at the grocery store, preparing healthy meals
that will appeal to adults and children alike, revamping negative eating
habits, and taking manageable steps that can lead to major improvements
in overall health and well-being.
In a recent interview, Feldman reflected the goals of National Nutrition
Month as she discussed the philosophy behind her new book. “It is
important to remember that you must be realistic with your health goals
and nutrition standards,” she said. “Not every family is able to pay the
$80–$150 per session it costs to meet with a professional dietitian. I
hope this book can provide some very useful information in a way that
can fit into anyone’s budget.”
Julie Feldman, MPH, RD, is an acclaimed public speaker and nutrition
educator and is currently available to comment on a wide range of
health-related topics, including National Nutrition Month, family
nutritional planning, obesity, vegetarian and vegan diets, eating
disorders, pre- and post-natal nutrition for infants and mothers, food
allergies, diabetes, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular
disease.

About Me
- Sarah Reid
- Holistic and allopathic nutritional consultant who loves to be in the kitchen dreaming up the next culinary caper! Food is my first love, so teaching the value of wholesome meal choices to families is close to my heart. I want to re-instil the desire for good quality, homemade, (mostly) healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of families so that the next generation will be less box-reliant than mine. I firmly believe that any “homemade” food, even when labelled as "naughty", is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.
These days, I'll bake anything and everything, so long as there's someone to eat it! A medical problem in my early adult life left me intolerant to caffeine, alcohol, meat, dairy, egg yolks, oils, nuts or anything high in oil or fat content – ironic since I used to be a carnivore weighing over 200 lbs in my teens! Now, the focus is on enjoying what I can eat – not just eating because I can!
