look i personally think that when someone wants to lose weight they dont need a nutritionist... people who hire nutritionist is because or is a sign of saying im not determined enough if u r not determined enough that means ur not serious about losing weight.... if u dont have a diet plan u can try using mine if u wanna lose weight... i call it the doris diet plan....
look 1st i wanna tell u that u shouldnt worry about what other people say if ur fat or not because when i was fat they called me names.... i put so much attention to it that it made it more diffucult for me to lose weight... so the first step would be have confidence..dont care what others think of u n love ur self... step 2 would be following this diet...ok this information that i will b giving u is very important because i use to weight 200 at the age of 11 n i wasnt very tall.... now im 17 at 5'7 n i weight 130 pounds...thats very healthy... now this is how i lost all that weight.... it will take u about 3 to 4 months but remmember if u put ur mind to it u can really do it... ok in the morning eat ONLY a bannana with half a cup of 2% milk between 8 n 12 o clock...it depends at wat time u wake up...in the afternoon between1 n 3 o clock eat a regular lunch... when i say regular i mean anything ur mom makes as long as its nothing fattening..eat a lunch that contains no oil or fried in it...its is best to eat meat during lunch time... do not eat hamburgers fries or n e thing from FAST FOOD PLACES... if u want something to go eat something healthy at SUBWAY... the best place to eat when on a diet n want to eat a quick LUNCH not DINNER..if u get hungrey later on between 3 to 7 eat a salad... do not eat after 7 because thats how u gain massive weight trust me.... if u get hungrey between meals eat FRUITS or VEGTABLES...thats it nothing else as snacks.... drink lots of water because water helps u lose the fat because u pee it out... i would say try to fit in 8 glasses of water A DAY....try to excersize... walk around the block every day or if u have stairs go up n down lyk 10 times a day...n e typ of excerisize is good even if it is small... when u first go on this diet u must b determined to do it.... NO SUGAR AT ALL..... when u eat sugar n the sugar reaches u body it turns into FAT....so no sugar lyk candy cookis.... I NO IT WILL B HARD BUT TRUST ME U WILL LOVE THE RESULTS... ok somethings that u most avoid but can eat are milk, bread..ect... what i mean is that when u drink milk get the 2 or 1 % milk NEVER THE WHOLE.... the whole is very fattening...the bread u can eat but NEVER EAT WHITE.... buy wheat....when ever u but a drink lyk orange juice or minite maid ALWAYZ go for the FAT FREE or LOW CARB.....another thing i will go into is the calories ... count ur calorie intake because that helped me when i was in or on a diet.... do not EXCEED more than 2,000 calories... if u go over board or 50 or 75 calories thats ok....but if u intake 2,000 calories a day for a month u will c a drastic change.... remmember 3,500 equal to a pound but if u are not on a diet u can only intake about 2,200 calories a day... but try to intake 2,000 for a diet... do not count the calorie intake of fruits or veggies on ly ur salad n drink and lunch meal... if u follow this u will have great results....remmember be DETERMINED...i would love for u to lose weight because i lost weight when i thought i couldnt... o 1 more thing... sleep for no more than 8 to 9 hours a day because if u exceed that u will gain major weight... sorry if i gave u too much info lol good luck n remmember it worked on me ...PLEEZ TRY N B DETERMINED ... I WOULD LOVE TO C U LOSE THIS WEIGHT :]..

a dietician has to take a test approved by the American Dietetics Association whereas a nutritionist doesn't. i don't completely know the difference between the two as i have heard different things. i am getting my bachelors as a dietician simply because it seems i will be able to get more jobs as a dietician. plus, i really want to help people get healthy.

sometimes people are looking for a nutritionist due to health issues and only allow to eat certain things...
