To: Dietitian, Community Health Centre

Dear Dietitian,

I am referring Mrs. Linda Johnson, a 46-year-old patient with obesity, for dietetic assessment and ongoing management.

Mrs. Johnson has a BMI of 34.2 and a five-year history of hypertension, which is currently controlled with medication. She also has a family history of Type 2 Diabetes, placing her at additional risk. Despite several attempts at dieting, she has been unable to sustain weight loss.

Her diet is characterised by irregular eating patterns, with frequent skipping of breakfast, large evening meals, and daily intake of sweets and soft drinks. She also leads a sedentary lifestyle, with little physical activity due to her office-based job.

She is highly motivated to improve her health and is seeking professional guidance on portion control, reducing sugar cravings, and developing a sustainable eating plan.

I would be grateful if you could provide her with a structured weight management program and practical nutrition counselling.

Yours sincerely,
