Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)


Q. What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?


A dietitian is an expert in food, nutrition, and how it relates to health. They undergo extensive training in the science of nutrition and its application to human health. A dietitian can help you with a broad range of health conditions including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, weight management, and more. A nutritionist is also an expert in food and its relationship to health, however, they are not required to undergo any formal training or education. While a nutritionist may be able to help you with your diet plan, they may not be able to provide you with the same level of care as someone who has undergone rigorous training in this area.

Q. What do dietitians do?


Dietitians are healthcare professionals who specialize in food and nutrition. They assess individual needs and develop treatment plans using a variety of methods, including education, nutrition counseling, community outreach programs, research projects, and medical facility management.

Q. Who should consult with a dietitian?


Anyone who feels the need or wants to enhance or alter their diet, eating habits, or meal planning can consult with a dietitian. This can be done to maintain good health or because of a medical problem.

Q. What should I eat if I want to lose weight?


If you want to lose weight, choose foods that are low in fat and calories, but still provide enough protein, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients your body needs. A registered dietitian can help you determine what foods fit into this category.
