Making good nutrition part of your daily

Making good nutrition part of your daily routine takes real commitment--but it's definitely worth the effort. A good first step is to discuss your diet with your health care provider or nutritionist. There are lots of good books and nutritional guides available, and you can contact The Momentum Project or any of the organizations listed in the online resources section of our website for more information. Nutrition counseling is also available from a number of organizations, including Momentum. Be sure to select a counselor who is qualified to advise you and is familiar with HIV illness and will work cooperatively with your primary care physician. And remember, most of the messages in the popular media about nutrition and dieting are intended for people who are trying to lose weight--and may not be appropriate for people living with HIV/AIDS. Weight loss diets generally don't work and can be dangerous.
