Nutrition plans consist of meal plans designed to achieve a specific result depending on the patient’s needs, for example reducing excess body weight or supporting pharmacological treatment in various conditions. Our specialist prepares an individual nutrition plan for each patient. It is based on an interview conducted with the patient, which makes it possible to identify not only the current concern, but also the overall state of health. When developing the diet, the patient’s culinary skills and taste preferences are also taken into account.
We do not want patients to treat a diet as a punishment that forces them to give up all of their favourite foods. Whenever possible, the specialist takes individual taste preferences into account so that the diet becomes not an obligation, but a positive and sustainable experience. If a patient mentions during the consultation that their favourite snack is fries, it does not mean that they will appear in the daily meal plan, but it may be possible to develop a healthier and less calorie-dense alternative.
Nutrition programmes are also tailored to the patient’s lifestyle and work pattern. Depending on whether the patient works fixed hours or in shifts, meal times and the number of meals may differ. Diet plans are balanced according to energy requirements. Protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals are also taken into consideration. The diet is additionally adapted to the patient’s lifestyle and level of physical activity. Meal plans are designed to support a healthy rate of weight loss of 0.5 kg to 1 kg per week.
We recommend an individual nutrition plan for people who have difficulty maintaining a healthy body weight, want to improve their body shape, have health concerns, practise sport intensively, or struggle with eating disorders. They are also recommended for individuals with food intolerances or allergies, such as gluten allergy. A properly designed diet is also very important for growing children and expectant mothers.
Thanks to a healthy, balanced diet, patients may notice an improvement both in their physical appearance and in their overall well-being, including physical and mental health. The nutritional advice and meal plans prepared by the dietitian work in harmony with other treatment methods and contribute to an improvement in the patient’s health.
