This is not as daunting as it sounds, nor do you have to live nearby or know a dietitian.  One of My New Body's services is to offer the genearl public affordable on-line and telephone access to fully qualified Dietitians.  We will get you to take a food diary for 3 days, review the food diary providing you recommendations and advice and will also hold a 30 minute telephone consultation with you to explain their written advice and answer any questions you might have.

This is what our dietitians say about their service:

 What is eaten affects a person's day, their ability to cope with a busy lifestyle and their work and sporting performance. A dietitian works to make eating more suited to individual needs, to help people develop healthy lifestyles and to understand and enjoy food better.

Our dietitians can suggest ways for you to modify your usual dietary intake. This may be needed to help control weight (gain or loss), blood fats levels or diabetes. Others, who experience indigestion, constipation or other digestive discomfort, may benefit from a change in eating patterns.

This is a great service that makes dietitians very accesible and affordable.

One of the useful methods of dietary assessment is to have a look at how much fat you eat on a regular basis.  The amount of fat in foods is not always obvious (hidden fats), it is not only deep fried foods that have a lot of fat.  Foods like cheese, pastries, cake, chocolates although may not appear fatty often have between 20 and 40% fat.  If you are not sure how much fat you eat, use our free online dietary fat intake assessment and get a snap shot of your current fat intake.  Click here to go to our assessments:  http://nutrition.mynewbody.com.au/assessment/SurveyStart/

The food frequency questionnaire is one of the most simple, yet effective tools in reviewing your diet.  It look at the total number of foods you eat during the week and provides you with a snapshot if you are getting the general variety of foods you need to achieve a well balanced diet.  You can use mynewbody.com.au food frequency questionnaire free of charge by visting the following page:  http://nutrition.mynewbody.com.au/assessment/   and follow the links to the food frequency assessment to perform your free assessment.
