Step 2: Measure body composition using DXA method (the modern and unique method in Vietnam), or perform other tests.
Step 3: Explain and discuss about the nutrition-related parameters (Ex.: muscle and fat mass, bone density, blood glucose level, cholesterol in blood, etc.). The explanation is done based on reliable recommendation with attractive brochures to enhance your understanding and engagement. These documents are sent to you after the consultation to help you review and easily remember.
Step 4: Review and give advices on the daily eating habits and physical activities. This step is supported with the food models and pictures to stimulate your memory and enhance the communication.
Step 5: Discuss with you to set the realistic goal, which takes into consideration both your physical goals and your lifestyles.
Step 6: Create the personal nutrition plan that is tailored specifically to you. It is based on the above goal and evidence-based guidelines, meaning that your nutritional plan will be based on solid, proven research – not fads or fashions. The nutrition plan includes:
