If you’ve never seen a dietitian before, you may be a little apprehensive about being judged about your eating habits/lifestyle. Dietitians are often referred to as the 'food police’ but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Your dietitian will consider you as a whole person, with no judgement – that is, your unique profile, such as your medical history, as well as your needs, goals and lifestyle. Your dietitian will also assess the body of scientific evidence, and will be flexible with the advice and support they will offer, on a case-by-case basis.
