Dietitian visit

A dietitian looks at how you eat and helps build a diet that suits your health. It is a conversation and some calculations, with no procedures.
For overweight or underweight, diabetes, stomach, kidney, or heart conditions, pregnancy, or just to improve your diet.
⏱ Duration: the first visit usually takes 30 to 60 minutes; follow-ups are shorter
Be sure to tell your doctor

Common questions
How is a dietitian different from a nutritionist?
Here, a dietitian is a doctor with medical training. They can work with medical conditions and order tests.
Will I get a ready-made menu?
Often you get a sample menu or rules. It works better when the diet fits your habits.
Do I need to fast before the visit?
No. If fasting blood tests are ordered, you will be told separately.
