What To Expect When Working With A Dietitian

Thinking about working with a dietitian but not sure what to expect? This is for you.

We get it. Reaching out to someone to help you with your eating habits can be scary - but you've come to the right place. A dietitian is THE expert in nutrition and is trained in helping you achieve your goals in a sustainable way.

You and your health are worth it.

I am a Neonatal Dietitian. Please be careful when choosing a nutrition professional. The designation of “Dietician” is different in different places/countries. If you are in the US, please be sure you see a Dietitian (with a t not a c.

The background music ruins this video, way too loud and annoying

I've tabled seeing a Dietician because I see all these tick toks of Dieticians giving bad advice. I see one tomorrow. What is she going to say, eat more oxalates and indigestible fiber?

I wouldn't go the either one of you. Interesting how you never mention specific health issues you have experience with and how you managed the process. You both sound more like simple trainers.

I am thinking of possibly working with dietician again, depending on what my cholesterol blood tests show. I have struggled with majorly high cholesterol, and am on cholesterol meds. However, I also struggle with laziness so I often skip breakfast in the morning (will have my coffee), usually skip lunch except for having some chocolate and more coffee, maybe a small protein snack before figure skating at the rink, then whatever I can get my hands on when I get home...or ordering pizza or something. It kinda sucks. Perfectionism also gets in the way, and I also have had perfectionistic tendencies with food in the past. Yet, I am also scared of my cholesterol numbers going very high (I was once at a 350) again, but I know that my body needs the energy to be able to skate, run (may be marathon training this summer), do gymnastics, play in band, and just live my life in general.

However, I will say that my first experience with a dietician was not a positive one. I basically saw a dietician who looked deathly thin herself, got a bunch papers basically telling me "Eat this, not that, " and being told "You can eat that, ALL of which was very triggering my perfectionism, and basically had me leaving the office in tears. I didn't go back. However, maybe giving it a second shot might be worth it.

I also will say that I am in therapy for PTSD, but it also involves working on my perfectionism, so this would be in conjunction with that in a way....in the way of getting myself healthier physically and mentally.

I fear these dieticians will push weight gain. I had horrendous knee pain and people want to see dietician.
