3 frequently asked questions that your patients will ask you
Despite these particularities, there are always questions that concern patients and they mostly have to do with the aesthetics of the body.
There is no established formula to care for a health consultant’s patients, each one is unique with different characteristics and these must be taken into account in order to provide the care you need for your case. Despite these particularities, there are always questions that concern patients and they mostly have to do with the aesthetics of the body and diet. These two concerns are undoubtedly the reason why they approach a consultant. The reason why they want to lose weight is not bad, because later they will realize that this not only means looking good, but it is also a matter of health… looking healthy. So that you can be prepared for these questions, we bring you the 3 that are asked most frequently, so you will have your answers ready, without hesitation.
How should I eat to tone my abs?
This question, as they say, is a classic. And it will not stop being so, because they will always want to have the abdomen of a certain actor/actress or any public image with an athletic body. The first thing you should let them know is that not all bodies are the same, therefore it is possible that they will be able to define their abdomen, but not that it will look the same way. The patient should keep in mind that genetics greatly influences this. On the other hand, although it is possible, it is still a difficult goal to achieve, since there are foods and drinks such as alcohol, processed foods, desserts, among others. They will not allow you to obtain the desired abdomen if you do not limit yourself. It is important to eat protein and vegetables, healthy fats and only a small portion of carbohydrates after exercising.
Should I start my diet with a detox?
The ideal is not to start a diet with these types of treatments. But if this could help your patient prepare and make some necessary changes, then go ahead. Supervise this process, so that there are no problems.
What and when should I eat for my training?
For those who take into account that nutrition has a lot to do with how the body transforms and turns, let them know that a normal portion 1 or 2 hours before and after training is more than enough. This will provide you with the protein and carbohydrates needed to recover your body. With these three questions you will have a large part of the field covered and you will be prepared to answer depending on the case of each patient. Educating them regarding these types of questions is very necessary, so the patient will have an idea of what happens in their body if they eat certain foods, or if they stop doing something in their diet. Help them achieve their goal of a healthier life.
