Setting Goals: Establish clear, achievable goals that address the patient’s nutritional needs. 3. Creating the Plan: Develop a detailed plan that includes specific dietary recommendations, meal plans, and any necessary supplements. 4. Implementing the Plan: Work with the patient to put the plan into action, providing education and support as needed. 5. Monitoring Progress: Regularly review the patient's progress and make adjustments to the plan as necessary.
