Although every nutrition practice is a little different, basic strategies among dietitians remain the same. A Registered Dietitian is a 'food and nutrition expert'. Making nutritional changes with a dietitian is more than just a 'diet'. It is a lifestyle change created specifically for you and your dietary needs. There are lots of things that influence what you eat, including your health, stress, family, work, budget, time, and psychological well-being. As an expert, a dietitian gathers information on all of these things for each patient by doing several assessments. We have the opportunity to learn your eating patterns (ex. a frequent grazer or a light eater with a heavy dinner). We listen to see which types of healthy foods you enjoy and which ones you have challenges fitting into your daily routine. Once we gather all of this information, we talk about your goals. Your diet is written specifically for you, taking into account your schedule, your budget, your family dynamics...
