WHAT HAPPENS DURING A DIETETICS CONSULTATION?

Your dietician will use this time to ask you questions about your eating habits, previous medical conditions and food allergies you have. This will allow her the opportunity to gather information about you and use this data to construct a specific eating plan that will suit your needs and lifestyle.

By being more informed about a healthy diet, you will be more equipped to identify good eating patterns and choose lifestyle choices most conducive to your health. In addition, you will be more aware of what is safe to consume, particularly if you develop a chronic illness such as heart disease, diabetes, digestive problems or a food allergy.

Your first appointment usually occurs face-to-face, over the phone or online and lasts for an hour depending on your needs. This is an opportune time to raise questions about exercise, diet, a food budget, medical supplements you take and nutrients suited to your age, weight and height.
