Book excerpt: Abstract: Basic guidelines for diet planning and therapeutic diets are presented in this manual developed by the Iowa Dietetic Association. The nutritional adequacy of the diet is the major emphasis of this guide, but the importance of patients' physiological and emotional needs in successfully implementing a nutrition plan is recognized. Uses of the Daily Food Guide Basic Food Groups and the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans in diet planning are discussed. Diet modifications for pregnancy and lactating women, infants, children, and older adults are outlined. Types of therapeutic diets include 1) soft (e.g. pureed, bland, low residue), 2) full liquid and tube feedings, 3) diabetic/calorie-controlled, 4) fat restricted, 5) sodium restricted, 6)protein restricted, and 7) purine restricted diets. Helpful features in the manual include a summary description of diets, desirable and average weight tables, a table of the potassium content of foods, and a list of safeguards for preparing and serving different types of foods.
