The type of logic people use when they’re on a diet tends to be negative. Registered dietitians are not the food police; their job is to focus on the wants and needs of the patient, not punish them or make them feel bad about choices they’ve made in the past. Nutritionists listen and provide feedback about how to make changes and successfully incorporate healthy eating habits into everyday life.
