Nutritional care in Barranquilla, Colombia

What is nutrition care?

It is a consultation with a registered dietitian who assesses diet, weight, body composition, lab results and lifestyle to design an eating plan tailored to each person and their health goals.

When is it useful?

For managing overweight and obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol or triglycerides, high blood pressure, kidney or liver disease, digestive conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome or celiac disease, food allergies and intolerances, pregnancy and breastfeeding, sports, child nutrition, and before and after bariatric surgery.

What should you expect from the visit?

Questions about your habits, schedule and preferences, body measurements and realistic goals. The plan should be practical and sustainable, not a temporary very restrictive diet. Follow-up visits allow adjustments based on results.

How do you choose a good professional?

Make sure they are a licensed dietitian. Be wary of plans promising very fast weight loss, cutting out whole food groups without a medical reason or selling supplements as the main solution. If you have a difficult relationship with food, look for a professional experienced in eating disorders.
