Dietary Advice on Prescription: A novel approach to dietary counseling

Gunnar Johansson

Abstract


This article describes a novel approach to giving dietary advice, which is called ‘‘Dietary Advice on Prescription’’ (DAP; Matordning på Recept [MoR] in Swedish). It is the same principle as prescription on medicine and ‘‘Physical Activity on Prescription’’ (PAP; Fysisk aktivitet på Recept [FaR] in Swedish). The main idea is that a written prescription will strengthen the oral advice and emphasize certain aspects of the dietary recommendation. The DAP is on the brink of being tested in a planned study.

Key words: Diet, counseling, behavior
