Dr Michelle Harvie, PhD, UK Research Dietitian

Intermittent fasting: case study

17 Jul, 2018

The case:

Michelle’s client is a 57yr old woman at high risk of breast cancer. She has a strong family history of breast cancer with three sisters who have been diagnosed. Her weight is 84 kg (BMI 29.3 and Body fat 44.6%). Michelle justifies her recommendation that her client lose weight by specifically examining her risk of developing breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes at her current weight. The clients’ motivations and health beliefs are explored. Michelle describes her clients’ current dietary intake and gives a detailed rationale for a suggested intermittent fasting dietary plan. The IF diet plan is described as well as her clients progress over the next 12 months.

Watching this presentation and completing the assessment can contribute towards assessable Continuing Professional Development hours.
