Therapeutic diets - Qualitative methods

Qualitative methods: This  is where  you  give  the individual choices,  clear guidelines, menu guidance and supporting  information  such as advice on suitable manufactured products. You should encourage the patient to understand the key relationship between  a food and  a  diet. The value of  a food depends on  the amount of nutrient in the  food and the  frequency with which the  food  is consumed.

The various qualitative methods include:

Guidelines issued for healthy eating

The Food Guide Pyramid
