Diet Counseling Online
Diet counseling, online or in person, isn’t just about weight loss. Dietitians work with people of all shapes and sizes to improve their health and well-being through dietary lifestyle changes. Doctors may also refer you to a dietitian for certain medical conditions like diabetes or kidney disease.
Meeting with a Dietitian for Weight Gain, Loss, or Maintenance
Meeting with a dietitian for weight gain, loss, or maintenance can provide support, accountability, and personalized advice on your health journey. Virtual dietetics counseling can provide these benefits from the convenience of your home or work.
A dietitian will discuss your current diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits with you. From there, a dietitian can help you make small, sustainable changes over time that lead to big results that can last.
Be aware that some reasons for weight gain or loss may also need a doctor and/or mental health counselor to address. Don’t be afraid to work with multiple professionals for the best outcomes.
Meeting with a Dietitian for Medical Conditions
Dietitians work with clients or patients to help address dietary needs related to medical conditions. People with congestive heart failure, kidney disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, or other conditions are frequently referred to a dietitian.
Dietitians receive unique training, so doctors do not replace dietitians and vice versa. Some medical conditions may require assistance from a specialized dietitian. A general dietitian can consult with you to find out if you need a referral to a more specialized dietetics counselor.
General dietitians can consult for many conditions and needs, and they have access to resources to help many others. Don’t hesitate to counsel with a general dietitian to see if that dietitian can support you.
What to Expect with Virtual Dietitian Appointments
Even though your appointment is online, you still need to be on time and free of distractions to get the most out of your virtual dietitian appointment. You can expect your dietitian to listen and ask questions to get to know you, your goals, and your current habits at your first appointment.
Keep in mind that changes happen over time. A dietitian may not always reveal unheard of information to you about healthy eating, but your dietitian can help you set reasonable goals and provide supportive accountability.
It’s possible that your dietitian may ask you to keep a food log to help you discover subconscious habits and patterns or to get a better picture of your current habits. This information can help tailor their advice specifically to you and your situation.
