The first visit to the dietitian includes a detailed (lasting an hour) interview about eating habits, culinary preferences, lifestyle, medical history, and current health problems.
What should you take for the first visit:
- A 3-day nutrition register, i.e.:
- The amount and composition of meals in-home measurements (e.g. a glass, a spoon, a slice, etc.)
- Amount and type of beverages drunk
- Times of meals
- If you have digestive problems, it is worth recording in the diary when they occurred and how long they lasted
- Available results of laboratory tests, hospital discharge cards, descriptions of visits to a physician, etc.
- List of drugs and supplements taken with dosage
Based on the interview, together with our specialist, you will determine the goals and course of cooperation, plan further visits and discuss the basic nutritional recommendations needed immediately.
Within a week of your first visit, you will receive comprehensive, personalized nutritional recommendations that will include:
- Guidelines for the qualitative selection of products (taking into account the natural course of the disease - e.g. periods of worsening and remission, if any)
- The proposed time frame for meals
- Proposed supplementation
- Suggestions for physical activity and helpful lifestyle modifications
- Tips for self-composing a menu (proportions of individual products on a plate, examples of well-balanced meals)
- List of products indicated and not recommended in the daily diet
- Additional information/materials/guidelines that turned out to be necessary during the interview in order to meet all nutritional needs
