Special Diets for Individual Needs

Dietetics is the science of "healthy nutrition and life-style". Dietetic nutrition can be medically prescribed or requested by a guest for the following reasons:

  • short-term changes in nutrition to reduce or increase body weight
  • or long-term changes in nutrition to assist medical treatment.

Every form of diet, be it to change body weight or assist medical treatment, means increas-ing, reducing or excluding one or several nutritional components (carbohydrates, fats, pro-teins, vitamins or trace elements) and/ or an increase or reduction of total calorie intake. This means that diets are always separate from complete, normal nutrition and created for and offered to specific individuals.

We have a number of nutritional experts who, due to their training, can offer health-based nutritional advice and who are happy to assist you if necessary. We also provide our staff with specialized training to ensure that specialized diets can be produced in your canteen if necessary.
