Conclusion
Individualized dietary interventions provided by a registered dietitian result in a reduction of total dietary fat, saturated fat and serum cholesterol. For changes to occur, a minimum of 2-4 encounters with a registered dietitian are needed. Studies demonstrate that greater reduction in cardiac risk factors is achieved with more encounters that are provided by a registered dietitian.
