How people stay healthy and what foods are required in what amounts is discussed.
Lessons on this online diet and nutrition course will be learned through practical activities which can easily be done at home.
Course Key Topics
the Diet + Nutrition (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: The Digestive system
We start by studying how our body processes the food and water using the digestive system, some foods like cellulose are not digested and what happens to this is as important to know as making use of food groups. This module concentrates on exploring the digestive systems, so that, before we look at the specifics of diet and nutrition, we have an understanding of how the different areas of our digestive system work. Why is the mouth as important as the intestine? It is important to know more about how food gets from our plates into our tissues and cells, and what foods are beneficial to our body. When looking at the subject of diet and nutrition, it is important for us to consider what nutrition actually is, why we feel hunger and why we need food.
Module 2: Dietary Nutrients
This module introduces the basics of good nutrition and the nutrients our body need. The important dietary nutrients of carbohydrate, protein and fats and oils, vitamins, minerals and water are explained in more detail, so that we can understand the function of these nutrients in our body. It helps us understand how to introduce good nutrition into our daily lives and teaches us concepts such as “Energy Balance”, “Body Mass Index” and “The Harris Benedict Equation”. How can people stay healthy and what foods and in what amounts are needed to achieve this is discussed. Food can also be a problem and this needs to be investigated to raise the problems people face.
Module 3: Supplementary Nutrients
As well as the usual foods we also need vitamins and minerals in our diet from citric acid (vitamin C) to zinc. There is a trend also to take herbs and natural supplements such as garlic or cod liver oil directly or as capsules. A lot of people believe that vitamins and minerals are health enhancers and that consuming plenty of them will lead to a long and healthy life. In fact, as we will discover in this module, vitamins and minerals do not directly provide us with energy nor does consuming a lot of them automatically guarantee optimal health. So what do they do, why are they especially important for babies, children, the elderly or if we are ill or run down. What happens if you take too much (our body simply gets rid of them). It is important to know where they come from and what exactly they do in our body.
Module 4: The Role of Fluids
Humans will die quickly without air and survive just a few days without water. In this module, we will look at why we need to drink water, liquids or food containing them and the best way of obtaining sufficient quantities. 60-70% of our body weight is made of water. Water is essential to life, e.g. it helps to maintains our body temperature and it helps get rid of waste, cushions our joints, and all of the internal body functions need water. We will also examine the role of electrolytes (mineral salts), and learn how to recognize and prevent dehydration. Alcohol is a common fluid consumed as a drug and having little other benefits than providing the body energy (high calorific value). We also explore some facts about alcohol and how our bodies metabolise it, as well as the effects of alcohol on our health.
Modul 5: Weight Loss and Dieting
The main reason people want to control their weight is for better health, as well as wanting to improve appearance and confidence. Generally dieting does not work, unless it involves healthy eating with regular exercise. This module looks at the effects of weight loss on health, and highlights the risks of rapid weight loss methods. We examine the reasons why many people find it so difficult to lose weight and then maintain this loss. We also look at appetite control and metabolism and the effects of different diets, culminating in simple effective strategies we can use to lose weight and maintain this weight loss. We also consider simply strategies for gaining weight, without it turning into fat.
Module 6: Vegetarianism
Surveys suggest that about one in twenty people in the United Kingdom are vegetarian; many people choose to eat meat rarely or occasionally. A vegetarian diet is followed for a variety of reasons, from religious to moral and ethical reasons. This module looks at the whole topic of vegetarianism, including some of the reasons people choose a vegetarian lifestyle. Are there any health benefits of a vegetarian diet, or, indeed, are vegetarian diets always healthy? The different variations of the vegetarian diet and what essential elements are limited is discussed, and some ideas for meals to suit needs and provide a fully balanced meal are therefore included.
Module 7: Young People
Children and young people’s nutritional needs depend on their life-style and the amount of energy they use. This depends on age, gender and the amount of activity, so their particular nutritional requirements must be assessed on an individual basis. This module will be of particular interest to all those involved in caring for young people and young people themselves, to help them maintain health. The energy needs of young people, especially if they are very active, as well as their protein, carbohydrate and fluid needs is explored, specifically looking at how these may differ from the needs of adults. The needs and diets of women planning to conceive or pregnant women is also studied to start this topic discussing the needs of the child from their earliest point of life.
Module 8: Groups with Special Dietary Needs
The diet and nutrition of groups with special dietary needs, including women at different stages of their lives, including during pregnancy and the menopause, will have special focus here. So, for example, girls who exercise vigorously may be late menstruating (amenorrhoea). Other groups with special dietary needs include those diagnosed as having diabetes, heart disease, allergies and asthma. The signs and symptoms associated with these diseases and what can be done to prevent or delay their onset will be considered. The importance of all essential minerals and vitamins will be explored in this particular context. Our body cannot make Iron so how to provide sufficient amount and prevent anaemia will also be explored.
Module 9: Eating Disorders
The three main categories of eating disorder are anorexia, bulimia and compulsive eating (some consider obesity to be a fourth type). What they are is explored, and according to most experts on the subject of eating disorders, rather than just being a problem with food and body image, it is believed they are an outward expression of psychological conflict. It may not be easy to label a sufferer as being one or the other of these, as quite often, anorexics might later become bulimic and compulsive eaters might also become bulimic from time to time. It is more useful to know and explore the distinct differences between the eating disorders (often termed disordered eating) and their effects. Strategies to help counter these illnesses and improve body image will be discussed.
Module 10: Personal Dietary Plans
There is evidence that most people do not understand how to maintain a healthy state. As for children, our needs depend on age, gender and the level of activity. Having a health plan is not just about maintaining body weight, but more about leading a healthy lifestyle. This depends on individual needs and needs to be devised methodically. Designing a personal dietary plan needs to take into account all the personal details of the person the plan is for. It may be for yourself or for someone you are advising about diet and nutrition. A plan includes suggestions and ideas for healthy, balanced meals, treats and advice on keeping food (calorie intake) and exercise (calorie expenditure) diaries, so that any goals and targets set may be successfully achieved within a given time frame.

Career Profile - Nutritional Therapist
Career Profile
Nutritional therapists provide personalised nutrition, dietary and lifestyle recommendations to help enhance an individual’s health and wellbeing
As a nutritional therapist, you’ll work with the understanding that there are nutritional and biochemical imbalances in the body that lead to ill health. Taking a holistic approach to your clients’ nutritional therapy, you’ll devise a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan to help maintain their wellbeing.
This will include recommendations to restore nutritional balance, which may include guidance on avoiding certain toxins and allergens, detoxification and the use of supplementary nutrients such as high-dose vitamins.
Nutritional therapy is classed as a complementary medicine and is intended for people who want to improve their general health and lifestyle through diet and nutrition, as well as those with chronic health conditions who may wish to see a nutritional therapist alongside other healthcare professionals.
Responsibilities
As a Nutritional Therapist, you’ll need to:
* carry out initial consultations on a one-to-one basis with patients to assess their health and get a detailed case history from them
* recommend and analyse laboratory tests to check for nutritional imbalances, the functioning of the liver and the digestive system
* explain the physiological impact of complex biochemical imbalances and nutritional deficiencies to clients and answer any questions they may have
* agree on a personalised nutrition and lifestyle plan, which will include dietary recommendations, and may also include a nutritional-supplement plan and changes to lifestyle
* conduct follow-up review meetings to monitor and evaluate patient progress
* help clients to understand the link between their diet and their health
* refer clients to other health practitioners, as appropriate
* keep confidential and comprehensive notes and records for each client
* provide advice and promote nutritional therapy to community groups and charities
* carry out administrative tasks related to running a business if you’re self-employed.
Salary
* Most nutritional therapists are self-employed so your income will depend on factors such as the price you charge per hour, the number of hours you work, the number of patients you attract and your running costs and overheads.
* You’re likely to charge between £120 and £200 for first consultations and then £40 to £180 per follow-up consultation. You may offer a range of consultation packages or programmes with varying prices.
* Fees charged will vary depending on a range of factors, including the length of the consultation (with initial consultations typically lasting longer) and your location. If you’re based in London, for example, your earnings will be higher than nutritional therapists elsewhere.
Your income on starting out may be very low due to the initial costs of setting up a business and the limited number of patients readily available. Not all therapists manage to make a living solely from client consultations. It may take several years to build up a client base and you may experience peaks and troughs in demand.
Income figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
Being self-employed means you can set your own working hours to a certain extent, although you may have to be flexible to suit your clients’ needs. For example, you may choose to work some evenings or weekends.
Initial consultations will usually take 60 to 90 minutes, to properly assess the client’s current health problems, medical and family history, diet and lifestyle. Follow-up consultations typically last between 30 and 60 minutes. Appointments are typically four to six weeks apart, depending on the case.
What to expect
* You may need an additional job in the early stages of setting up a practice until your client base becomes large enough to sustain a regular income. The time taken to build up a practice varies as you’ll need to assess the local market and raise awareness of your services.
* You’ll work primarily with clients in a private practice. You could either work within a team of health practitioners in a practice or work on your own, renting a room.
* Opportunities are available in most areas of the UK. It’s possible to set up a practice virtually anywhere.
* You’re not likely to spend much time travelling or staying away overnight, although you may travel locally, for example if you’re working from several locations. You may set up a practice to complement another service such as a health food outlet, or alongside other holistic therapists in a healing centre.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* the ability to communicate with a range of clients and build rapport
* listening skills and the ability to empathise without becoming emotionally involved
* a confident and professional approach to work
* time management skills
* problem-solving and analytical skills
* a logical approach to work
* report-writing skills
* self-motivation and the ability to work on your own and develop new skills
* business skills such as administration, marketing and finance.
Many therapists enter nutritional therapy as a second or third career. Life experience and interpersonal skills can be helpful as the ability to empathise and gain a client’s confidence is crucial to a therapist’s success.
Career prospects
Opportunities for progression vary depending on your own interests, expertise and willingness to undertake different activities.
In the first five years after qualification, you’re likely to concentrate on building up a solid client base and will develop your experience of dealing with different people. Geographical mobility can be important for career development, especially in more rural areas.
As you gain expertise you may specialise in an area of nutritional therapy, such as:
* arthritis
* asthma
* chronic fatigue
* dementia
* eating disorders
* gynaecological disorders
* hyperactivity
* pre-conception care
* thyroid rebalancing.
You may also network with GP practices and midwifery services to take referrals for complementary therapy.
With experience, you may want to consider lecturing in training colleges and universities and possibly on the international conference circuit.
In areas where local authorities actively support innovative approaches to public health, opportunities may exist in partnership with sports development workers or health promotion officers.
There may be the chance to work on a consultancy basis for healthcare charities or commercial organisations. Media-related activities may be available, such as specialist journalism (food writing or radio/television appearances), public relations or marketing.
A few successful therapists will become directors of thriving enterprises, employing other qualified therapists and administration staff.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
