That's my working mom life. She did give me a great breakfast suggestion that I still eat, Oat Bran mixed with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I like it with cinnamon and/or fruit. There were a few other things I held onto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260632 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 09:20:05 +0000 californiadreams 2260632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i met with a registered dietitian once because i wanted to lose weight in a healthy way before my wedding. I learned quite a bit about what i was doing "wrong". Turns out i was never eating enough during the day and then overeating at night which was keeping the weight on. She asked me a lot about my preferences and then put together a meal plan where i can choose what foods to have at each meal, but the "plan" was to make sure i was getting enough carbs, fat and protein at every meal. It was so awesome and eye opening. I felt like i was eating more than before, and i lost weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260623 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 09:13:47 +0000 Mamaof2 2260623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Thanks - I will check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260616 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 09:05:03 +0000 blackbird 2260616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've meet with various professionals before and the best fat loss advice I got was from a book, Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle. I always worked out hard and ate great, but I needed to change the macronutrient profiles around to maximize results in the gym-fueling my body appropriately and encouraging fat loss. When I hit a plateau after that book, I met with a fitness competitor who provided coaching, and she tweaked mine some more-she said I wasn't eating enough. The previous nutritionist I met with had me on 1400 calories a day. 1400. That's it. Then I got pregnant. 3 days of exercise is also possibly not enough. </p> <p>But anyways. Check out macros for fat loss! It's really structured and if you're eating in a deficit, it works great </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260602 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 08:53:40 +0000 MrsKRB 2260602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yup, RD - registered dietitian, LDN - licensed dietitian nutritionist, CDE- cerified diabetes educator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260599 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 08:51:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2260599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: my mom is a dietician.

I met with my Ob/gyn at my well visit and explained the situation and he said that it's common for women to have problems losing weight as they age because of hormones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260579 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 08:22:48 +0000 Mamaof2 2260579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKRB: thanks!</p> <p>Does the RD stand for registered dietician?<br /> Kristin Morrow, RD, LDN, CDE </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260574 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 08:17:50 +0000 MrsKRB 2260574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a dietitian :) if you are planning to meet with one, definitely make sure they are a registered dietitian, not just a 'nutritionist.' Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, but a dietitian has at least a bachelors degree and completed an internship and passed an exam. I think one would definitely be able to help you, they will likely look at your diet (try and keep a recall if you can) and make suggestions within your lifestyle on how to lose the weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meeting-with-a-nutritionist-dietician#post-2260566 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 08:03:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2260566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever met with a Nutritionist or Dietician?</p> <p>I feel like I need someone to tell me exactly what to eat and how to get this weight off of me - I work out pretty hard 3 days a week and the scale isn't budging - I have about 7lbs to lose (use to be 5 but its gone up :bummed: )</p> <p>I keep reading all these different "diets" online and wonder what would work for me - or can you even figure that out??? </p>
