A wide range of medical, nursing, paramedical personnel involved in nutrition, and dietitians find the Mayo Clinic Diet Manual an invaluable reference in their day-to-day work.
Abstract: Normal diets, therapeutic diets, and the conditions for which they are prescribed are presented in a manual for physicians and dietitians. Nutritional principles and rationales for each diet are discussed, thereby providing more appropriate application and control of dietary components. Food exchanges, nutrient sources, diet ordering, menu patterns, and nutrient values are covered comprehensively. A discussion of normal nutrition includes general hospital diets, consistency modifications, and diets for special groups (e.g., vegetarians, Jews). Therapeutic diets are given for management of diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, gastrointestinal disorders, allergies, anorexia nervosa, urolithiasis, and hypoglycemia. Dietary control of sodium, potassium, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, copper, and fat is explained. Separate sections address: dietary needs during pregnancy and lactation, normal and therapeutic nutrition for infants and children, parenteral feeding and supplementation, and other dietary programs (test diets, etc.).
