Registered Dietitians (RD) are food and nutrition experts who have to meet specific academic and professional requirements governed by the American Dietetic Association including:- Minium of a bachelors degree in nutrition-related field taking courses such as microbiology, organic chemistry, anatomy and physiology, biochemistry and food science.
- Complete at least 450 hours of supervised practice in a variety of nutrition fields.
- Pass the Registered Dietitian exam.
- Maintain credentials through continuing education.
Nutrition is a lot more complex than people may think, and it's important to find a professional who has put in the time and training to understand the science behind food and to obtain the proper credentials. Trust the experts and always choose the RD!

and we have to do a dietetic internship AND maintain educational hours/certification annually.
Contrary to popular belief, following certain diets can be harmful to your health. Doesn't everyone owe it to themselves to find a credible health professional, one that understands the body, can communicate with your doctor, understands the importance of test results, and can interpret what this all means for YOU as an individual? This is a great reminder to everyone about the importance of an "RD". Great blog post!
And in the UK only those registered with the Health Professions Council can call themselves a Dietitian ....
So what do you say about Nutritionists who have have the same qualifications etc as a RD, but who choose not to pay for the privilege of using it?
