Can anyone recommend anyone - particularly one with some sports background/experience.
I don't know of any but be vary wary - anyone can call themselves a nutritionist - thats why you get loonies like McKeith. dietitians are qualified and registered.
A nutritionist might well be OK - but could equally well be a charlatan like McKeith with lots of impressive qualifications bought of the internet
yeah, i'm aware of that TJ which is why i thought if anyone had any experience/could recommend anyone. 🙂
Serious issues resolvable by GP & NJS?
not really - got blood tests yesterday which didn't show anything so it comes down to nutrition/diet and or my head 🙂
Fish and Chips.
Sorted.
What is the issue exactly?
The issue??
Vinegar or sauce. It's a West Coast vs East Coast thing.
[i]anyone can call themselves a nutritionist [/i]
Anyone can call themselves anything, but you can always ask to see their accreditation and references.......
lol @ dru
I was wondering why a nutritionist is needed in this particular case.
Hilldodger - wrong. You cannot call yourself a dietitian unless you are registered and have the correct qualifications. You can call yourself a nutritionist with no qualifications - see McKeith.
This is to protect people from charlatans such as McKeith
TJ is right - nobody can call themselves a nurse without due qualifications but anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and anyone can create and hand out 'qualifications' and accreditations to nutritionists.
if i like fish and chips, it would have to be vinegar!
lots of reasons why i want to see one - general wellbeing/how i feel, female specific stuff, want to make sure i'm eating enough for the training i'm (well was) doing (more so as i don't eat meat and only eat fish occassionally) and because blood tests haven't shown up anything and i'm tired of feeling like this. i'm pretty sure a % of it is diet related.
Good luck on finding one.
Its possible to get phases of fatigue following the increase of intensity of your training. Sometime it's just that you are not getting enough carbs.
I get really rundown sometimes. I eat alot of organic food and I find it really helps. When I am eating well, less crap more of the fresh organic stuff-I generally feel more energetic.
I would look for a dietician who is registered.
