Proposal

Registered dietitians in America and Australia have recently launched twitter forums #rdchat  and #eatkit respectively. It is proposed that UK dietitians have a similar virtual venue.  As with any social network other subscribers may access as and when, which is considered an advantage in helping to raise the profile of the BDA, its members and registered dietitians within the UK.

Dietary Advice for Crohn's Disease -

The new Dietary Advice for Crohn's Disease pack should be published and ready to order in early May 2012. Publication has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances.

The leaflets are:

Dietary Advice for Crohn’s Disease (HP) – this is a general leaflet covering key themes of symptoms and things to eat and avoid during active or remission stages of Crohn's disease.

Liquid Diet (HP) and Liquid Diet (D) – these leaflets are designed to be issued by specialist IBD teams to patients considering moving onto a liquid diet (HP), and then the comprehensive dietetic leaflet (D) is designed to support patients who have chosen to go onto a liquid diet.  The resources explain the different types of liquid diet and the steps involved in making the change.

Strictures (D) – this brief, specialist dietitians’ leaflet that provides dietary guidance for people with stricture(s).

D – should be given to patients/clients with the support of a dietitian;

Weight Loss You Can See!

Last Updated (Monday, 19 December 2011 10:43)

Are you helping people to lose weight? Do you struggle to find clear, visual, easy-to-read and accurate resources? NDR-UK is delighted to announce the publication of Weight Loss You Can See! A food portion picture guide for a calorie-controlled diet.

Replacing Weight Loss On a Plate (Ref No: 9189, 9190, 9191), this resource has been developed by expert dietitians for those working in the area of obesity, is based on evidence and has been tested with peers and patients.

The resource has 3 components:

• Weight Loss You Can See! - explains what an energy deficit diet is and how to follow this diet together with photographs of food portions and handy measures.

• Pictorial Meal Plans – visually describes, using photos of real foods, what a specific calorie daily diet (meals and snacks) looks like in terms of food portions.

• Blank Food Diary - allows the individual to record their intake in a similar layout to that of the pictorial meal plans.

What peer-reviewers said…:
‘I think the pictorial pack provides excellent added value as portion control is what people seem to struggle with most. It is a very comprehensive set of pictures which will help people to visualise their daily intake for all food groups.’
Dietitian, Wales

‘Really impressed with this resource. Looking forward to using them in practice.’
Dietitian, England

During testing, patients commented that the resource was……’Clear, helpful, informative and great for getting the balance right’ and ‘Very helpful to actually visual portion sizes, full-fat and reduced-fat varieties and cooked and uncooked information.’

How much does it cost?
Only £1 per patient, demonstrating excellent value for money. This includes the main leaflet, a daily meal plan example and a 2 day blank diary. Click here for ordering information.
