Nutritionist?

Rachel, you're adorable and I love you, but it greatly discourages me that you would have a "nutritionist" on the show. Nutritionist is not a recognized profession. Registered Dietitian and Certified Clinical Nutritionist are the only recognized professionals in the industry. There are actually licensure laws in many states now that regulate who can give out nutrition information and what they may call themselves now. For the good of the public, try to have qualified and educated guests whenever you discuss health issues. Thanks.

I agree with spice3. However, regardless of whether she is qualified or not she made no mention of exercise. I agree with the frequency of eating helping keep you metabolism up. But if you eat right and couple it with weight bearing exercise the pounds will come off and lot easier and quicker. Many diets are too restrictive and people fall off them left and right and end up gaining back even more weight. To lose weight effectively you must make a change of lifestyle. Something to remember for every pound of muscle you have requires 50 calories to maintain itself. Therefore if you gain six pound of muscle you wil burn 300 calories just sitting. A too fat restrcitive deit is not good either. You crave fat, and it is required to build cell membranes. Cell membrance are made of lipids which is fat. Just eat the good fats, fax seed oil, olive oil. You have all heard this before.

Good luck

I completely agree with this post. There were many things said by this nutritionist that are incorrect regarding metabolism and foods. Please do not put your health, or understanding of health, at risk by listening to someone who is not required to have an education in their profession. Look for the credentials (RD!!!).

I was checking out the nutritionist shown on Friday's show. She has many credentials. I'm not saying she is right or wrong. But we shouldn't assume that she is a nitwit. She is extremely certified by many associations.

I think that people are sometimes impressed by the title of "celebrity" Nutritionist. So they think it must be ok to follow her advise. I hope she is qualified....I don't know.

She is a certified sports nutritionist. She also certified through other places. We shouldn't judge before we know the facts.
