Nutrition and Weight Control Course

From science to diet plan

Deviations by default or from the excess of body weight are risk factors and often result in physical and/or psychosocial illness.

The good news is that diet, in all its scientific, semantic, know-how and taste extension, is an effective and safe determinant for weight and health balance. In Aesop’s fable as well as in the strength of the facts that Nutrition Sciences and others have gathered to date, a set of knowledge and skills is interpreted and transforms, when adapted and served the context and purposes of people. Metamorphosis – meaning weight management and control – through the prescription of food plans by nutritionists, contributes decisively to a healthy and fuller life.

Throughout this course, tips will be presented to convey about nutritional plans [diets] and strategies to improve adherence and compliance, which, in fact, will play a decisive role in the success or failure of the nutritional intervention.

In this way, it is intended to optimize the nutritionist’s performance to prescribe food plans for weight management and control, through the development of technical-scientific knowledge and qualifications framed in the object of the course.

Additionally, other health professionals might benefit to the extent that the content of this course will allow them to work in harmony with nutritionists, while contributing to the management of the health process.

Welcome to Academia Clínica Espregueira!
