Roadside Dietitian
The trucking lifestyle throws a lot of curves your way. Long hours behind
the wheel…days or weeks away from home…add stress in an already
difficult world. Your health may also be compromised by poor food
options and lack of exercise. All of these can combine into a weight
problem that can lead to Type II Diabetes, Hypertension and Heart
Disease.
You want to take action, but don’t how. You need a professional on your
team.
The Roadside Dietitian
Pam Whitfield is a Registered Dietitian who works with drivers as they
address their diet and nutrition concerns. You’ve read about her in the
pages of Overdrive and Trucker’s News. You’ve heard her on Sirius
talking with drivers about their needs. Now you can team up with Pam as
you get started on your road toward a healthier life.
As a Roadside Dietitian private client, you will have the resources and
guidance of this seasoned health care professional at your side. In one-
on-one phone calls, Pam will work directly with you to build your program
and help you start changing your lifestyle.
There’s no ‘magic bullet’ in this program. As your personal RD, Pam will
use information supplied by you and your doctor to build a common sense
course to help you reach your weight goal. You will follow a customized
meal plan using everyday foods that is based upon your nutritional needs
and your food preferences. The objective? A healthy weight loss that will
contribute to an overall improvement in your general well being.
The Roadside Dietitian Program (RDP):
When you become a private client, Pam Whitfield, MS, RD, LDN will be
your personal dietitian. She will build a customized meal plan for you to
follow as you work toward your weight loss goal. But, The Roadside
Dietitian is more than that.
Here’s how the RDP works:
- Using a form provided, you will prepare and submit a two-day food
diary.
- At your request, your doctor will provide (fax or mail) your latest
medical report and lab results to The Roadside Dietitian. No meal
plan can be prepared without this information.
- Using that information as well as the food diary as background, Pam
will conduct a 30-minute to one-hour telephone interview with you.
This will give her greater insight into your needs and wants, lifestyle
and concerns. Among the topics covered: your weight history, food
preferences, typical eating pattern.
- A nutritional analysis will be performed to determine areas of
specific nutritional concern.
- An analysis of your current diet, a customized meal plan and a
sample daily menu will be prepared and sent to you (via e-mail and
hard copy).
- Pam will then call you and, in the course of a 30-minute to one-hour
telephone conversation, review your meal plan with you to ensure
that you are clear on the recommended course of action. A copy of
your meal plan will also be sent to your doctor.
- Seven to ten days after that conversation, Pam will contact you
again to review your progress during the course of a 15-30 minute
follow-up telephone call.
