Dietitian — what to know

A dietitian helps you build a way of eating that suits your health and goals. People see one for excess or low weight, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, digestive complaints or food intolerance, and during pregnancy or sport. The consultation often includes measuring weight and body composition and a meal plan.

What happens at the visit

The dietitian asks how you eat through the day, about your habits, activity and sleep, and about your illnesses and medicines. Together you set a goal you can reach. The plan fits your taste and daily life and is adjusted at later sessions.

Before the visit

Bring an identity document, the results of earlier tests and any discharge summaries, and a list of the medicines you take.

Write down what you eat and drink for three days before the consultation. Bring your latest blood tests if you have them.
