What I love about being a dietitian

What I don’t love…..

Very little actually! Although I think the label “Dietitian” is misleading as it makes it sound like I’ll be putting everyone on a restrictive diet when it’s usually quite the opposite. I prefer the title “Nutritionist” but it is not a protected title so sometimes it gets used by people who do not have the qualification and training to provide evidenced based nutrition care and medical nutrition therapy. If you want safe, quality care through an expert in the field look for the terms “Accredited Practising Dietitian” and “Accredited Nutritionist”.
