Dale is a 48 year old male coming to you for weight management. He is 5’10” tall and weighs 230#. He was a “normal” weight as a teen and younger adult, but has struggled with his weight since his mid-20’s. He has tried many diets and his weight has cycled up and down for some time. He is very frustrated and is considering talking to a physician about weight loss surgery or medication. He is coming to you to see what you think his options may be. Discuss how you would approach your appointment with Dale. In your discussion include other assessment information you would want to gather, potential treatment options (include which treatment options he is considering may or may not be appropriate for him based on standard criteria), and what type of outcomes you could expect (rate of weight loss, etc.) from those potential interventions. What is your most likely course of action for a nutritional care plan?
