4. Instruct the patient to avoid
saturated fats and trans fats.
Encourage an increased
intake of vegetable oils.

(Rationale: According to
many studies, a reduced
consumption of trans fats
reduces the risk of
cardiovascular disease.)

5. Encourage the patient to

increase the amount of fiber
in the diet.

(Rationale: Fiber plays an

essential role in gut motility
and digestion. It also makes
the person feel full for a
longer time.)

6. Encourage the client to

decrease the number of
added sugars, including soft
drinks.

(Rationale: Added sugar

usually adds calories but no
valuable nutrients.)

7. Teach the patient how to

identify healthy food from
food packages.
Yjah Cheimira D. Asebo

(Rationale: Food labels
provide information about
the amount of certain
nutrients and the serving size
of a specific food. For
example, the amount of
trans-fat, cholesterol,
sodium, and whole grains can
be found on a food label and
help patients make better
food choices.)

8. Encourage the client to eat

from the different food
groups and explain the
benefits of each food group.

9. Teach the patient healthy

tips for food preparation at
home.

Ex: Use salt sparingly and

substitute with herbs for
seasoning.
Use low-fat milk and low-fat
yogurt.
Replace cooking oil with
vegetable oil or olive oil.
Include fruits and vegetables
in every meal.
Fill have of your plate with
fruits and vegetables.
Yjah Cheimira D. Asebo
G2B
(Rationale: Preparing food at
home with these tips will give
the patient more control over
what goes into the food than
eating out. Cooking at home
usually leads to less calorie
consumption than when
eating out.)
