Name: Kyle Moore

Family history of diabetes (father)

 Blood Pressure (121/81)

Physical Activity (PA): The level of PA was previously inadequate. Primarily activity is
based on incidental activity related to daily routine.

Dietary: Diet has been modified prior to visit. It primarily consists of rotisserie chicken,
salads and fries (high in added fats). The consistent uses of fast foods, could result in a
high intake added sodium and added fats. Breakfast options are also purchased away
from home. Recently breakfast options have consisted of bacon and eggs, which are high
in fat.

Dietary changes have also resulted in an increase in the intake of vegetables (primarily
salads). However, the intake of fruits and the variety of vegetables may be inadequate.
Other areas of concern include:

 Fluid intake seems to be inadequate, possibly intermittent dehydration.

 Intake of poly- and mono-unsaturated fats, such as omega-3-fatty acids, may be


inadequate.

Recommendations:

1) Reduce intake of staple (high carbohydrate foods) component of meal. Aim for 1/3 of a
cup.

2) Limit the intake of highly refined carbohydrates (parboiled rice and pasta), which are low
in fiber.

3) Avoid staples which are high in fat, like French fries or mashed potatoes with large
amounts of butter and cheese.

4) Use more ground provisions: Cassava, yam, eddoes, sweet potatoes, breadfruit, green
bananas. Also use brown rice, or basmati rice, whole wheat pasta.

5) Continue to restrict the intake of red meats and processed meats (high in saturated and
cholesterol).
6) Continue to restrict intake of added sugar and highly refined carbohydrates, associated
with sugar sweetened beverages and baked goods.

7) Increase the intake of water and other sugar free fluids.

8) Increase intake and variety of fruits and vegetables:

a. Two serving of fruit. Avoid overly ripe fruit and consume as snacks between
meals.

b. Three servings of vegetables (half the plate) a day.

9) Reduce intake of added sodium (primarily form condiments, salted meats and processed
meats). No processed/canned meats. It may be a challenge to restrict sodium intake from
meals prepared away from home, but limit the amount of sodium added to meals
prepared at home.

10) Avoid skipping meals or going for meals extended periods of time without a meal or
snack.

11) Oily fish (sardines, mackerel and salmon) at least 2 to 3 days per week.

12) Use more green and herbal teas in preference to coffee and other hot beverages. Green tea
is higher in antioxidants and other vitamins and minerals.

13) Red and purple grape juices may provide some of the same heart benefits of red wine
(and none of the deleterious effects of alcohol). Grapes are rich in health-protecting
antioxidants, including resveratrol and flavonoids. Including:

 Reducing the risk of blood clots

 Reducing LDL, or "bad" cholesterol

 Preventing damage to blood vessels in your heart

 Helping maintain a healthy blood pressure

1. Physical Activity:
a. A low impact and high intensity form of activity, such as swimming or cycling,
would be ideal.
b. Activity should be done 4-5 days a week, for 45-60 minutes.

fruit servings every day.

low-fat or nonfat dairy products.
