As Registered Dietitians, we can all appreciate the need for “evidence-based” information and strong educational materials.  Enter the Florida Diet Manual.  It is the “one size fits all” solution.  This manual is where you can go for the latest research, a great list of references, and educational materials ready to hand to your clients to lead them down the right, not the most advertised, path.  Our mission is to get our manual into the hands of all dietitians, physicians, chiropractors, etc.
