Dietician FAQs

What happens during my first visit with a dietitian?: Your first visit is like a Get To Know Me visit. Your dietitian will ask you questions about your diet and/or past dieting experiences, work/home schedule, previous medical conditions, and much more. We learn about you so we can give more personalized recommendations that suit your needs and lifestyle.
How long will my appointment with the dietitian take?: Most appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes. The length of the appointment depends on your needs and questions that come up during your session. If you don’t take the full 30 minutes, that fine. If you and your dietitian have the time to talk for more than 30 minutes, that’s fine too! You can also request to schedule more time with your dietitian while you are planning your appointment.
How often should I meet with my dietitian?: This varies for everyone. If you feel you do better with more support- your dietitian can meet with you more often. On the other hand, you may only want to meet once every 3 months to follow-up on your goals. You and your dietitian can decide on your meeting frequency during your appointment.
Can I get a meal plan?: As helpful as meal plans are, they can feel a little restrictive. Your dietitian will work with you on understanding how to balance your nutrients, so you have flexibility with your diet and can still reach your goals.
What fruits can I eat and what fruits do I need to avoid?: All fruits offer different vitamins and minerals that can benefit our bodies.
