It is the Ochsner Eat Fit, Dine Out Day. A day in which you and some local eateries can team up and up the ante in terms of healthy eating.
"Eat Fit Acadiana is a community partnership where we work with local restaurants to bring healthy menu items to the community,â says Ochsner dietician Yvette Quantz. âIt's completely free for restaurants, markets, grocery stores, to participate in."
The key ingredients are partnerships and education and then meeting with owners and chefs to put those healthy elements together into one âEat Fitâ meal. "We don't want to interfere with the integrity of the restaurant. So we want to work with the restaurant to help keep with what they offer, but modify if needed."
