If you have been following the Kansas City Dietitian from the midwest then you know that our long awaited spring is here, and we earned it one snow day at a time. But if those snow days have left you with a few extra numbers on the scale then it’s time to retrain your brain with the Kansas City Dietitians’ Spring Clean Eating 2-Week Challenge. Join the Kansas City Dietitians as we shake off our winter bluejeans and slide into our spring skinny jeans. Below is an interactive worksheet that you will use to decide which disciplines need work in your life.
