For dietitians

The RD Resource Shop

Everything here is something I built because I needed it and couldn’t find a version I trusted. The handouts are unbranded and editable — your practice name goes in the header and it goes straight to a client. The spreadsheets are the ones I actually use. Start with the free one; it’s the whole handout, not a teaser.

Client handouts

Unbranded and editable. Your practice name goes in the header, and there’s a practitioner page at the back — evidence grading, the places the popular version of the topic overstates the science, full sourcing — that you delete before the client copy goes out. That back page is the whole point: the client page gets to stay confident and readable because the hedging lives somewhere else.
Type 2 Diabetes Plate Method$11

Built for clients who aren’t on mealtime insulin, which is most of them, and it says plainly that they probably don’t need to count carbohydrates. That’s stronger than the usual teaching, but it’s where the evidence sits. Food sequencing is in there too, flagged as not guideline-endorsed.

Protein Needs & Food Sources$9

The 0.8 grams per kilogram figure everyone quotes is a floor, not a target, and the handout says so. The food table is built only from USDA values I could actually verify rather than numbers I half-remembered, and the renal caveat stays on the practitioner page where it belongs.

Adequate Fueling$11

This one deliberately does not make the starvation-mode argument, because it isn’t supported — adaptive thermogenesis runs about thirty to a hundred calories a day and fades once weight stabilizes. It argues from hormones, bone, sleep, immunity and lean mass instead, which is both true and more persuasive.

Intuitive Eating$12

Opens on why hunger cues are unreliable early in recovery, before it says anything about listening to your body — because the naive version of this hands a client a task they physically cannot do yet and then lets them blame themselves for it. States outright that it isn’t a weight loss method.

The Complete Handout Library

All five handouts in one download, including the free one. Check the set price against buying the paid four individually and take whichever is cheaper — I’m not going to tell you a bundle is a saving if it isn’t.

The whole shop

Everything above lives in one collection, alongside a few things that aren’t clinical at all. Downloads are instant and there’s nothing to ship.
