Dieticians are the recognized diet & nutrition professionals!

A dietician (or registered dietician) is a professional who provides scientifically based, objective nutrition information. The nutritional information you are given by a registered dietician is not subject to current fads and wild claims. There are many specialties in the field of dietetics, just like there are many physicians who specialize in a given area of expertise. Dieticians can specialize in certain disease states, provide in-patient hospital and out-patient clinic counseling, sports nutrition, food service, public health, business, research and journalism.

Dieticians must complete both academic and experiential work to be credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and must have completed a bachelor's degree in nutrition/dietetics from an accredited college/university. Dieticians are also required to pass a comprehensive credentialing exams, and must complete ongoing academic professional development to maintain their status as registered dieticians. Neither doctors nor nutritionists, even though they dispense nutrition information, are required to demonstrate current knowledge of nutrition principles or diet in the United States that is required of those who have an RD.

Some good reasons to choose a dietician...
Are you on the go a lot? Do you find it hard to fix dinner and do you barely have enough time to get through your daily routine?
If you're trying to make some changes in your diet to lose weight and better your health, some extra help from a dietician can really make the difference. Get realistic help and learn how you can benefit from the attention and the support of an expert. Do you prefer to discuss your diet with a health professional? As a member of our Healthy Diets & Weight Loss Program you have access to a registered dietician (dietitian) - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Do you need even more personal attention?  Purchase phone, or one-on-one consultation time with one of our dieticians.

Learn which eating plan really fits you and your needs?
Diet plans designed by our dieticians are specifically designed to fit you. They are developed by nutrition experts, registered dieticians, developed to your personal needs. Look carefully at our competitors - ask them how and what they do to their diets to truly make them personal.

Most diets are generic but not PersonalDiets.
A diet that is going to help you personally begins with and requires personal assessment. Dieticians use a variety of such assessments to help develop diets that fits your personal needs. Diets should help you personally and should not be the typical 'one-size-fits-all' meal plan diets which lead to short term success at the expense of your long term goals.

Remove the obstacles to your success
No matter what your personal situation is today, you are likely to be very busy in your life.

Personal Dietitian's Program is Private!

Now, you can access professional support from the privacy of your home or office, in a convenient setting and get the personal advice and attention you deserve - and without the hassle.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Most of us have a good idea of what we need to do to make better eating choices, but are unable to put knowledge into action consistently enough to make a difference. What's needed is a specific plan that is relevant to our daily lives. The personal assessment of each food choice and the individualization of a PersonalDiets™ plan is what will motivate you to change. It's easy when something complicated like changing the way you eat is laid out in easy to follow and specific steps, and it is designed to fit your lifestyle and eating preferences.  If you do it right, you really can achieve your short term goal (get those pounds off -start looking and feeling better) and make it stick. The goal is to give you a new eating style that's easy to do, gets you to your goal, and helps keep you there.
