Adherence
Structured, ongoing nutritional counseling and education significantly increase weight management nutrition knowledge scores compared to baseline or no counseling.
If you are trying to manage your weight, seek out professional nutritional counseling rather than relying solely on self-education. The study shows that ongoing interaction with a dietitian significantly improves your understanding of weight management principles, which is a key component of long-term success.
The mean scores of former patients were significantly higher than those of new patients... These findings suggest that knowledge is strengthened over time through experience.
Why this rating
Cross-sectional observational study with convenience sampling; establishes correlation, not causation.
