Study Notes

Dietetics-I (HND-206)

Course taught by Ms. Rohma Anwar
Offered at SFAS, UMT

Therapeutic Nutrition

Focuses on nutritional management of individuals/groups with diagnosed diseases
Therapeutic diets are specialized diets designed for specific medical conditions
Used to address health problems by adjusting nutrient intake

Therapeutic Diets

Meal plans controlling food/nutrient intake for medical conditions
Part of a treatment plan, typically prescribed by a physician and made by a dietician
Modifications of regular diets, tailored to meet the specific needs of an individual for improving health or treating disease conditions

Therapeutic Diets - Continued...

Designed to supplement medical/surgical treatments
"Normal diet" refers to a balanced diet fulfilling individual needs
Modified for nutrients, texture, and allergies/intolerances

Significance of Therapeutic Diets

Useful in managing diseases
Promotes resistance to or prevents diseases
May increase/decrease appetite sometimes; influencing food consumption
Dietary modifications are essential to therapeutic needs

Why Therapeutic Diets

Essential or life-saving treatments, like gluten-free diets in celiac disease, or nutrient replenishment for diseases like cancer/intestinal problems.
Correcting deficiencies and restoring nutritional status
Providing rest or relieving affected organs, such as with gastritis
Adjusting to digestive function (e.g., low-fat diet for fat malabsorption).
Adjusting to food tolerance or allergies
Balancing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for controlling diabetes or other conditions
Adjusting body weight/composition (e.g., obesity/underweight)
Assisting individuals with mechanical difficulties (e.g., elderly patients with denture problems)

Dietary Adaptations for Therapeutic Needs

Varying food consistencies (liquid, soft, low/high fiber)
Adjusting caloric value (low/high calorie for weight control or recovery)
Modifying specific nutrient intake (e.g., sodium-restricted, lactose-restricted, high potassium)
Restricting/eliminating specific foods (e.g., bland diets to avoid irritants)

Dietary Adaptations - Continued...

Omitting specific foods for allergies (gluten-free)
Adjusting protein, fat, and carbohydrate ratios (e.g., diabetic, renal, cholesterol-lowering diets)

Test Diets (Therapeutic Diets)

Short-term meal plans to determine specific processes, such as fat absorption
Provide single or multiple meals for testing conditions like steatorrhea.

Common Therapeutic Nutrient Modifications

No concentrated sweets
Diabetic diets
No added salt
Low sodium
Low-fat and/or low-cholesterol
High fiber
Renal diets

Diets with Altered Consistence

Therapeutic diets modified for consistency/texture for nutritional needs
Clear liquid, full liquid, soft diets, and mechanically altered diets, for varying medical needs
Individualized depending on specific medical conditions (e.g., clear or full liquid)

Consumed as liquids at room temperature
Used to provide fluids and electrolytes for febrile stages, postoperative periods, digestive issues
Clear liquid, full liquid

Clear Liquid Diet

Includes translucent liquids like broth, clear juices, tea, coffee (no cream/milk)
Minimal residue and high transparency
Short-period use (3-5 days, with justification for extension)
Provides 600-900 Kcal, ~120-200g carbohydrate, ~5-10g protein (small amounts sodium/potassium).

Full Liquid Diet

Includes creamy liquids like soups (without chunks), puddings, and juices (with pulp).
Step between clear liquid and regular diets
Longer-term use (up to 8 weeks)
Provides 1000–1800 calories and 50-65 g of protein.
May be used as a supplemental nutrition diet with other food types.

Mechanically Altered/Soft Diet

Soft, easily chewed, and lightly seasoned foods.
Suitable when chewing is challenging
Chopped meats, fruits, vegetables

Dental, Medical, or surgical purposes.

Bland Diet

Soft, not spicy, and low-fiber foods
Avoids irritants for gastrointestinal conditions (ulcers, gastritis, etc.)

Pureed Diet

Modified diet via pureeing to smooth/semi-solid consistencies
Suitable for difficulty chewing (e.g., dental problems).

Modification in Quantity (Therapeutic Diets)

Restriction diets (e.g., sodium, purine, low residue diets) to reduce/manage conditions like high blood pressure or gout)
Eliminations/Complete diet restriction (e.g., gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free diets) in cases of food intolerances.
Used for weight management purposes (e.g., low in fat and calories).

Modification in Cooking Methods (Therapeutic Diets)

Modification in Nutrient Content (Therapeutic Diets)

Modifying protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake for specific conditions (High blood sugar, heart disease, renal, kidney issues, etc.)
