How to find a Dietitian?

[The Moose]

I'm looking to find a dietitian to work with a group of 6 or 8 of us for a week or two.

Where would be the best place to look for someone?

We're based in South Bucks if it makes a difference.

A dietitian works in a hospital with people who have recognised medical conditions and particukar nutritional requirements.

A nutritionist works with the general population. The training and quali differs.

If you and your pals want someone to tell you what to eat then you want a personal trainer with a nutrition quali or training.

I've not had particularly good experiences with nutritionists in the past and thought that a dietitian would likely have a better base of knowledge given what the qualification entails.

I'm after someone a bit more "serious" than "a PT with a nutrition qualification".

As I say a dietitian works with people who have medical disorders and resultant nutritional requirements. If you/your friends are in good health and have normal digestive systems then a dietitian is not what you want.

Generally in good health although a few minor issues.

So, let's change it slightly then - replace dietitian with nutritionist in the original question...

Could you go to KFC and see who isn't there and hire them?

I've only come across nutritionists online, and not many of them, but they were all full of st.

I know a few, but I work in food manufacture. A close friend is a nutritionist for one of the major UK retailers.

OP, what is it that you want this nutritionist to do for you?

Perhaps I can PM you and we can go from there?

Great, I can't get email in the day but will reply tonight. If you don't get a reply then say and I'll find a way of getting an email/tel no o you.

Try Laura Thomas (PHD), based on London. Not a dietitian but a "registered" nutritionist meaning she has proper qualifications and knows her S@#t.

She advocates and follows a plant based diet but "hardly any of my clients are vegan, I’m still cool if you eat meat and cheese; you won’t get any judgement here".

Quick google search will find her.
