My concern with the weight loss programs that some of the ‘nutritionists’ provide is a generic meal plan without even considering the client’s background or health history and even detailed goals of the client.
Lost a young patient in his late twenties from liver failure due to sudden and massive weight loss from a highly restricted diet and intense weight loss regimen.
The goal is not to look thin, but to look and become healthy.
Too much social media exposure to "look good, look better" creates a wrong impression of weight loss among people.
Remember that sudden, large weight loss in short periods in morbidly obese persons can trigger liver failure from a severe form of fatty liver disease.
The patient was being advised by a "nutritionist-cum-gym trainer" who was probably not well versed in the science of weight loss.
It is not the protein powders that kill, it is the ignorance and lack of scientific temperament that is harmful.
Weight loss is an art and a science and those involved in weight loss program must help the person lose weight steady, but slowly without disabling them from a nutritional point of view.
Nobody wants to talk about the "trash online" who claim to be nutritionists and dieticians after their own personal/anecdotal weight loss journey without the required training or knowledge to advise people on nutrition and diet, safely.
I signed up for a nutritionist once several years ago and remember she giving me a meal plan without even asking me a single question.
With ignorance I started to follow the plan and which was soo not sustainable that I couldn’t continue with the plan at all.
@stepbystep888 It is always best to consume foods first that contain Vit B12. Now if that’s not possible, the way to take the supplements depends on how high is your deficiency. When was the last time you checked the vitamin?
@imGauravA@contliving@SandeepMall I completed my diploma with @LearnNutrition . There’s another course more like a certification: Precision Nutrition. And several more, depends on the duration, online/offline, etc.
