why do dietitians disagree about weight loss? with Maria Sylvester Terry MS, RDN

If you follow Registered Dietitians for advice and tips on Instagram you may notice two VERY different worlds.

Some Dietitians promote dieting for weight loss, while others adopt an "anti-diet" or "non-diet" approach of weight inclusivity. If you find these mixed-messages confusing, you're not alone. Like many evidence-based fields leaning on new and emerging research, there are differing philosophies around weight loss, including if and how it should be approached!

In today’s episode we called on fellow Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Maria Terry Sylvester MS, RDN, LDN to discuss:

• the difference between a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a nutritionist
  
• what training ALL Registered Dietitian Nutritionists receive
  
• how to know if the Registered Dietitians Nutritionist is right for your needs
  
• how to navigate nutrition messages that confuse or trigger you
