What most dietitians require would be a food journal so they would have a clear view of what the person in question is really eating so they know what needs to be changed. The types or kinds of food plus the amounts eaten are listed down in detail. Some dietitians even go to the extent of asking their clients to list down what they are feeling when they eat their food.
This will show that there can be triggers that make a person crave or overeat a certain type of food. For example, one woman consistently listed down eating about half a pint or more of ice cream when she was stressed from work. It became clear that she didn't really need the ice cream but needed a stress release more. When the ice cream was replaced with either frozen bananas or frozen low-fat yogurt in a reasonably sized serving, and twenty minutes of exercise was done before eating took place, she lost her craving for ice-cream.
Steps like these help the clients find workable and permanent solutions.
