What do you mean by "nutritional counseling"?Diet programs are recommended based on the client's current dietary intake. First adjustment will be to taper the client's portions to achieve a pre-goal caloric intake. Then certain foods are either removed or the timing of consumption is adjusted. Next, additional or alternate foods may be suggested based on the client's preferences. Finally, nutritional supplements are recommended to enhance the achievement of the client's goals or to simply complement their new diet.
