Don't eat to many fatty foods. Exercise. If you take in electrolytes cut back on the salt. I give you my blessing, go off and do good things.
(It really is this easy, buy a steamer too it couldn't hurt) |

Aren't most nutritionists just dumb jocks who, around senior year of university, realized they weren't going to be able to turn that softball scholarship into an actual career, panic, and declare themselves a nutrition "science" major?
What could they possibly know that you can't figure out on your own? I'd sooner ask an MD for advice but then MD's are, as a whole, just as fat as the general population so what the hell do they know? |

| I'd also be interested in the info. Not to sidetrack the thread, but has anyone had an experience with acupuncture and weight loss. I have a tendency to believe it won't work. |

I had no dumb jocks in my A&P I/II, Bio-chem, org-chem, Food Chem., calculus, micro-biology, advanced nutrition, community nutrition, or any of the other meaty classes I had. I also had none in my year long internship at a hospital working 14 hour days 6 days per week.
You asked "What could they possibly know that you can't figure out on your own?". That, again, shows us what you don't know. I specialize in care for the elderly and those in critical care. I get to calculate the IV formulas and flow rates and send to the pharmacy to create. I also work with patients that cannot speak for themselves.
In your defense, we do work behind the scenes and get little credit. It's not your fault you did not know. Most don't. I know nothing about teaching English...or writing it! 
Lastly, I know a few chunky doctors, a few even smoke, but most are pretty healthy and do not reflect the community at large. You can�t maintain their schedule without some level of fitness or release of pressure. |

Hi Crockpot,
Ignote the peanut gallery. I'm wondering if you do consultations? I could also really use some help. What do you charge? Are you in Seoul? Let me know your details, OK? PM me, if you wish.
Cheers! |

Yes, your own common sense.
Sorry, I just had to. I just don't understand what a nutritionist would tell you that you can't learn on your own. Are you from LA? |

Wow, a bit insulting to the OP and yourself as you did not take the time to look up what a dietitian does and also made in indirect comment about the OP being superficial (LA). Are you simply assuming it's just a weight issue and nothing else? Here is a link to Wiki that provides a very general overview. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietitian . I've included a bit from the site for your convenience. As you can see, we cover a great deal of territory with food, nutrition science, medical nutrition therapy etc.
Korea has a dietetic association which, I believe, has about 6,000 members. It has been my experience that very few can (or admit) to speak English.
[edit] Types of dietitians
The majority of dietitians are clinical, or therapeutic, dietitians. Clinical dietitians review medical charts and talk with patients' families. They work with other health care professionals and community groups to provide nourishment, nutritional programs and instructional presentations to benefit people of all ages, and with a variety of health conditions. This is accomplished by developing individual plans to meet nutritional needs. These plans include nourishment, tube feedings (called enteral nutrition), intravenous feedings (called parenteral nutrition) such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) or peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN), diets, and education. Clinical dietitians provide individual and group educational programs for patients and family members about their nutrition and health.
[edit] Clinical Dietitians
Clinical dietitians work in hospitals and other health care facilities to provide medical nutrition therapy to patients according to the disease processes, provide individual dietary consultations to patients and their family members and also conduct group educations for other health workers, patients and the public. They coordinate both medical records and nutritional needs to assess the patients and make a plan based on their findings. Some clinical dietitians have dual responsibilities with medical nutrition therapy and in foodservice, described below. In addition, clinical dietitians in smaller facilities will also provide or create outpatient education programs. They work as a team with the physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, speech therapists, social workers and nurses to provide care to the patients.
[edit] Community dietitians
Community dietitians work with wellness programs and international health organizations. These dietitians apply and distribute knowledge about food and nutrition to specific life-styles and geographic areas. They coordinate nutritional programs in public health agencies, daycare centers, health clubs, and recreational camps and resorts. Some community dietitians carry out clinical based patient care in the form of home visits for patients who are too physically ill to attend consultation in health facilities.
[edit] Foodservice dietitians
Foodservice dietitians or managers are responsible for large-scale food planning and service. They coordinate, assess and plan foodservice processes in health care facilities, school food service programs, prisons, cafeterias and restaurants. These dietitians will also perform audits of their departments, train other food service workers and use marketing skills to launch new menus and various programs within their institution. They direct and manage the operational and nutrition services staffs such as kitchen staffs, delivery staffs and dietary assistants or diet aides.
[edit] Gerontological dietitians
Gerontological dietitians are specialist in nutrition and aging. They are Board certified in Gerontological Nutrition with the American Dietetic Association. They work in government agencies in aging policy, and in a regulatory capacity in the oversight of nursing homes and community-based care facilities. They work as Consultants in Nursing Homes, and in higher education in the field of Gerontology (the study of Aging.)
[edit] Pediatric dietitians
Pediatric dietitians provide health advice for persons under the age of 18.
[edit] Research dietitians
Research dietitians are mostly involved with dietary related research in the clinical aspect of nutrition in disease states, public aspect on primary, secondary and sometimes tertiary health prevention and foodservice aspect in issues involving the food prepared for patients. Many registered dietitians also work with the biochemical aspects of nutrient interaction within the body. Research Dietitians normally work in a hospital or university research facilities. It should be noted that some Clinical dietitian's roles also involve research other than the normal clinical workload. Quality improvement in dietetics services is also one area of research.
Kind regards |
