HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM DIET
New Patient

Enter the appropriate data:

• Patients name - Last, First, MI, Physician

• Files are stored alphabetically, the program will search for the first letter of each entry.

• Today's date is entered by default and may be changed.

The Use Template option allows you to 'jump-start' a diet with a template, and modify as needed for each patient.  Check out Template Information.

The food screen will appear

CONTROL BUTTONS are to the right of the screen. 

Okay;  Rotate; Strike Through; Omit; Tested.  These buttons allow you to designate a a distinct print-out style for each food; which directs your patient to either omit a food, rotate, or have it daily.

Note: If no buttons are selected (highlighted) all foods are considered safe to eat by default -- and will automatically print onto the Master Chart and Menu Plans in a 4-day rotation pattern.

BASIC ENTRY PROCEDURE:

• Click on a Control Button

• Select a food -- (click on it)

Control Button functions:

• Okay - use to correct an error or over-ride an incorrect entry
• Rotate -  “Moderate reaction”, meant to be rotated, will print with an (r).
• Strike Through  -  “Strong reaction” - will print with a strike through indicating the food should be avoided.
• Omit - “Severe reaction”. The food will not appear on the Master Chart or Meal Plans
• Tested  (and Okay) - Foods will print in italics

Note: You may prefer to use the strike through feature instead of “omit” .  That  allows the patient can see which foods they need to avoid.

PRINTING FOOD CHARTS AND MEAL PLANS

Go to the FILE menu on the top left of the screen: Select PRINT

PRINT PREVIEW allows you to preview pages before printing

Note: select one item at a time to preview.  If  2 or more are selected, only the top item will preview.
