Participant Success Story
Jen, aged 34, has an acquired brain injury, she likes to be social is very independent although appreciates the assistance she has from her 3 regular carers on a daily basis. Jen initially came to see a dietitian as she wanted to lose weight, she was more reluctant to be social as she did not feel confident within herself. Her weight was 106kg in January 2020, once COVID lockdown started Jen was determined to take to opportunity to focus on her health and chose to see a dietitian via Video conference. Our dietitian worked with Jen and her carers on how she can practically meet her nutrition requirement’s keeping in mind her disability impacts. They discussed mental effects on food choices, methods of cooking healthy food without support and on a budget, offered healthy meal and snack ideas, food label reading and shopping guides etc. Jen found that working with one for two specific suggestions at a time was most helpful and recording a food diary kept her on track. Over 2.5years Jen managed to lose 32kg which now puts her in a healthy BMI range and she is feeling more confident than ever.
