The examination lasts about 60 minutes and is conducted by the doctor and nutritionist. During the examination the following will be carried out

• Personal and family medical history for possible findings of nutrition-related diseases.
• History of weight and previous dietary attempts made
• Reading of blood tests of interest or possible prescription of the same
• Dietary survey to assess the patient’s eating habits and estimate calorie intake
• Anthropometry (weight, height, body circumference, plicometry)
• Calculation of basal metabolism and desirable weight

A personalised diet plan will then be drawn up which is best suited to the patient’s needs in order to achieve the set goals.

The first free check-up is usually scheduled at 15 days to assess adherence to the diet and to make any necessary adjustments to encourage patient compliance.
