Nutrition Treatment

A treatment regimen will reflect an individual's goals and plans for how best achieve them. It will be developed by the treatment team and the client. The nutrition treatment regimen may include a food plan, supplements, self-monitoring, and education. Treatment may also include assistance from family and friends. Decisions regarding activities that involve food may have to be addressed. Consideration regarding activities that don't involve food may also need to be taken into account.

Monitoring an individual's progress in reaching his/her goals and whether they are having the desired effect is important. Regularly spaced appointments with the nutritionist will be important until the treatment regime is going smoothly. During these appointments, acknowledgment of successes is motivating. They also provide an opportunity to make any necessary changes. Over time, the treatment regimen will most likely change as goals are met, new factors emerge, insight and knowledge acquired, and new goals are set. It is hoped that treatment will evolve to where it is no longer treatment but is in fact a new way of life.
