Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
Dietitians are qualified to give medical nutrition therapy for conditions like diabetes and kidney disease; nutritionists advise on general healthy eating. Both help tailor a plan.
What should I eat for diabetes or weight loss?
Balanced meals, controlled portions and fewer refined carbs and sugary drinks — but the right plan is individual. A dietitian tailors it to you.
