Dietetic consultation

Dietetics is an applied nutritional science. The scope of activities of a dietitian includes group health education and individual health-preserving, preventive lifestyle counseling for all age groups, as well as professional advice and the compilation of personalized therapeutic diets related to this. With their credible, up-to-date knowledge, the dietitian provides the patient with advice appropriate to their given condition, keeping in mind the current professional recommendations. They take into account lifestyle, dietary preferences, and comorbidities in therapeutic diets. In addition to general dietary advice, they help make the recommended diet realistic, and with the help of a food diary kept by the patient, they point out the points that need to be changed. They provide healthy alternatives for foods that should be avoided in the diet, and avoid extreme, unhealthy dietary restrictions. If necessary, they check and refine the patient's diet during weekly or monthly follow-up consultations. The goal of the consultation is to achieve lasting results in cooperation with the client, to cure patients or improve their condition by reforming their lifestyle.
