Dietary advice in Balatonfüred

Body composition analysis with the InBody 770

As part of dietary advice or as a stand-alone test, body composition analysis can also be carried out with our state-of-the-art InBody 770 device. Body composition analysis gives a more detailed picture of the body’s make-up than body weight alone. The InBody 770 can assess body fat, skeletal muscle mass and total body water, among other parameters.

Knowing your body composition can be particularly useful during weight loss, lifestyle change, muscle building or regular sport, and for objectively tracking changes. The measurement takes only a few minutes, the result is available immediately and can be evaluated during the dietary consultation. For a more accurate measurement, if possible, do not eat and avoid drinking large amounts of fluids, alcohol or caffeinated drinks for 2 to 3 hours before the test.

Weight management and lifestyle change

Weight management may mean losing weight, maintaining the result achieved or, where indicated, gaining weight. Recommendations are based on your health, physical activity and individual goals. It is important that changes are made step by step and remain achievable in the long term. Besides body weight, we also pay attention to adequate nutrient intake and everyday eating habits. Where needed, we also use body composition results to assess your baseline more accurately and to track changes.

Endocrine problems and glucose metabolism disorders

In diabetes, prediabetes and insulin resistance, as well as underactive or overactive thyroid and PCOS, diet is an important part of treatment. The amount, quality and daily distribution of carbohydrates should be planned together with your treatment, activity and individual needs. As part of dietary advice, we help with practical questions about portion sizes, meal timing and food choices. Nutritional recommendations are coordinated with those of your diabetologist, endocrinologist or obesity specialist. Changing your diet does not replace prescribed medication or insulin.

Digestive complaints and special diets

In digestive diseases, food allergy or intolerance, the diet must be adapted to the established diagnosis and your individual tolerance. Advice helps you find suitable substitutes for foods that cause symptoms and ensure adequate nutrient intake. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease, and its dietary treatment differs from that of lactose intolerance, for example. Persistent complaints may also require medical investigation; if coeliac disease is suspected, starting a gluten-free diet before testing should be discussed with your doctor, as it can affect the results.

Preparing for pregnancy and pregnancy

A dietitian can help you establish a balanced diet and ensure adequate nutrient intake as early as when you are planning a pregnancy. During pregnancy, dietary recommendations are adapted to changing needs, taking into account the mother’s health and the baby’s development. In gestational diabetes, the dietitian also supports you in planning and putting into practice a personalised diet coordinated with your diabetes treatment.
